About
A Girl & A Gun
A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League is a ladies-only organization established by women shooters for women pistol, rifle, and shotgun shooters! The league is designed to take beginners to whatever skill level they wish to achieve and provide experienced shooters with more opportunities. The objective of some is to improve their skill levels for self-defense and competitive shooting. Others also are interested in learning how to choose the right guns, gear, and accessories for long-term participation in the community.
Girls Night Out! With a Girl & a Gun
It is important to come together in a non-intimidating atmosphere and do some shooting where you can relax and practice! Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for you; for many it may ease the fear when going to the range. Our events provide an opportunity to meet other like-minded women who love to shoot! Bring your journal and shoot with our certified instructor facilitating range time. We will hang out locally for a drink or food afterwards! Location TBA.
