"The first thing I would like to do is THANK a friend, Cheryl Todd of Gun Freedom Radio for inviting me to SHOT SHOW's 2nd Annual Women's Meet & Mingle in Vegas in 2017! This was a fantastic sponsored Meet and Mingle for ladies "in the firearms industry" and it got me thinking that I would LOVE to put together a Women's Meet & Mingle HERE in the Atlanta, GA area. WE DID IT!!

The Complete Combatant hosts our annual event called "The Mingle: Openness to Experience" which is scheduled in the month of May each year in the beautiful North GA Mountains at a range called Cohutta Pines, in Cisco, GA.

The Mingle: Openness to Experience = The personality trait that best reflects the lay concept of open-mindedness is called “openness to experience,” or simply “openness.” Open people tend to be intellectually curious, creative and imaginative. Being open-minded is generally considered a positive quality. It is a necessary ability in order to think critically and rationally. If you are not open to other ideas and perspectives, it is difficult to see all of the factors that contribute to problems or come up with effective solutions. The Mingle dedicates every event to all the ladies that come with an openness to experience.

We hope this 2 day VIP event will be a HIGHLIGHT of our guest's year!  "The Mingle" is an INVITE ONLY weekend for women in the firearms industry. This Saturday and Sunday event has sponsors, guest speakers, door prizes, and guest instructors. You will attend both days, train in all three of our 3 hour blocks (live fire and presentations), lunch, snacks and water will be provided, and of course MINGLING!!!   We will be lending a hand in helping women in the firearms industry gain knowledge and meet MORE ladies in the biz.  What a fantastic opportunity to be able to "pick the brains" of the ones that paved the path before us and meet ladies who offer NEW ideas. The relationships we build here can strengthen our business and help reach personal goals, PLUS the knowledge bombs received can be passed onto others.

With the help of sponsors, The Complete Combatant will offer a place for women to meet "like minded" ladies. Instructors can continue their education and build relationships to support business, networking to expand contacts and to explore our own personal growth in business, tactics, self-defense, marksmanship, professions & MORE! These special ladies are all patriots that will influence, support, and fight for self defense rights! Oh, and please jump onto the The Mingle's MEDIA COVERAGE over the last few years. AWESOME STUFF!

This outstanding image was made by Gerd Altmann/geralt - pixabay.com and I think he knocked it out of the park! A few weeks ago I sent him the NEW name and definition of The Mingle and he loved it! Today I spoke with him again and he was "very pleased that this image is associated with such a positive event and wished us many success with our projects.".
Thank you Gerd!!
