A New Jersey native, Alicia comes to us with very little firearms experience. While she has held and shot a gun before, she’s never received any training and has no knowledge of how to handle or operate a firearm properly. She is interested in learning how to aim properly, load the firearm and clean it. But of course, safety first!
Maggie introduces Alicia to the firearms they’ll be shooting: the Ruger Security-9 and the PC Carbine. These firearms utilize the same magazine and can be shot from the same bay at a shooting range.
Watch as Maggie teaches Alicia how to safely and properly handle these firearms. A lot of learning, training and fun!

Ruger American New Shooter: Maggie’s Mission
The third installment of Ruger American New Shooter Academy is hosted by professional shooter and Ruger brand ambassador, Maggie Reese Voigt. As a competitive shooter for over 10 years, Maggie is dedicated to welcoming new shooters into the firearms community. In this series, Maggie works with four very inexperienced new shooters to teach them how to properly handle and use their firearms. Her top priorities are to make sure they’re safe, and make sure they’re having fun. Practice and training are key, because better shooters are safer shooters! This is Maggie’s Mission!
