Country music star takes shooting lessons after an incident

Caylee hammock took to social media to announce that she has a shooting lesson.

“Something happened recently that made me feel very unsafe,” the country singer wrote on her Instagram Stories. “Since then, I have been learning defensive maneuvers and strategies from a professional.”

Hammack did not provide details, but she said she now feels more confident in her “ability to respond to moments of high stress.”

“Taking these defensive courses has given me so much confidence in myself,” she wrote.

“If you are a gun owner for self-defense reasons, I highly recommend taking courses. The reassurance I now have in my ability to respond to moments of high stress is a sweet relief from the anxiety I have been living in lately.

“I pray that I will FOREVER only shoot paper targets and never have to defend myself with OR without a gun. But I have invested in myself through these courses so that I can sleep better at night.”
