What Members Are Saying

“This is a great organization! In addition to learning more about shooting, I’ve made some really great friends. There are training seminars and opportunities each month to enhance personal skills. The camaraderie is exceptional and their sponsors are the best place to shop for your shooting gear. Thank you, AG & AG, for all the great experiences I’ve had.”

“I loved the hands-on training that focused on what the group needed to work on and accomplish. This is the only training I have attended that asks the student what they want out of their training and tailors the courses to meet those needs. The environment is positive and empowering. It was an amazing experience and the ladies I met were awesome.”

“Great group of women! Support and camaraderie at every turn. Ladies are there to help and explain any questions and insecurities. As a new shooter I have met new friends and gained confidence since joining the group. Monthly meetings and training at neighbor ranges give plenty of practice and email tips and advice are great and very informative.”

It's More Than Shooting!

While our mission is to teach women safe and accurate shooting, A Girl & A Gun is about so much more! It’s about confidence, empowerment, support, friendships, and fun. Every day, we see women grow not just as shooters, but as stronger, more self-reliant versions of themselves. Whether you’re interested in competition, concealed carry, home defense, or just want to try something new, there’s a place for you here. Find a local chapter to connect with amazing women in your area, or join our National eChapter if one isn’t nearby. You can even start your own! Let’s break barriers together.
