The WON: Please will you tell our readers what you want them to know about you?
Lynne Green: I have recently accepted the position of brand manager for the Syren brand of Caesar Guerini and am working on setting up ladies shooting events for the fall of 2016 and into Spring of 2017. I have been back in Atlanta for almost 2 years now, after after living in Texas for 19 years. I am an avid Sporting Clays shooter and travel around the US to competitions. I completed and passed my Level 1 NSCA Instructors Certification course this past May and hope to start taking ladies and young girls out shooting as soon as the weather cools a bit. I also am an avid photographer and have taken over 1 million pictures of people shooting sporting clays. These days, I mostly take pictures of the outdoors, wildlife, hunting and dogs. I shoot the Syren Tempio 12-gauge sporting model.
The WON: When women ask you why you shoot a Syren, what do you say?
Lynne Green: Wes Lang, the president of Caesar Guerini, and I have been talking about the women in the shooting sports for years – and how they needed their own firearm … to be recognized as their own market. When he created the Syren line, I was thrilled! He didn’t just dip his toe into the ladies market, he jumped right in. The willingness to take that risk speaks a lot to me and I have huge respect for Wes and everyone at the company. They take pride in making an outstanding and beautiful product and I’m proud to be representing their firearm. Oh, and my scores are great!

The WON: What type of feedback are you getting from women who are experiencing this line of shotguns?
Lynne Green: Every single one loves it! It’s like buying a pair of great shoes that fit right out of the box – you feel good wearing them. Same with these guns. It’s not just some “extra” gun that they threw in there for the women, it’s the whole line. Back to the shoes, there are different shoes for different things – same with the guns. Lots of ladies want an auto to reduce the kick but shoot heavier shells, while lots of the ladies I know want a field model for upland game hunting. The sporting models give women several price points, including the new Syren Elos Sporting. The engraving is beautiful – because most women like to show things off – a gun is no different.
The WON: Why is it important that a woman have a shotgun that fits her?
Lynne Green: If you’re going to shoot, your intent is to hit targets or birds. Hitting targets makes shooting more fun. If your gun is too long – which is the predominant problem – then your form is off and you decrease your chances of hitting targets. For the most part, most people don’t buy shoes or clothing or anything else that doesn’t fit them … before Syren, we ladies didn’t really have a choice, but now we do! It’s not hard for most women to understand that because we have totes full of men’s or children’s gear that doesn’t fit! If the ladies are hitting targets because they have a gun that fits, then everybody wins!
