Across the country, A Girl & A Gun’s Chapter Facilitators are the heartbeat of our local events—leading the charge at ranges where our program comes alive. Sure, there are other women’s shooting groups out there, but here’s why AG & AG stands apart:
Certified Excellence: Every Facilitator is a Certified Instructor, which means our members train under women who have invested time and expertise in mastering safe gun handling and precision drills. This isn’t just a casual hangout—it’s a mission-driven community dedicated to teaching proper techniques while making every session fun and rewarding.
Women Leading Women: Our Facilitators are all women, creating a space where girl talk, support, and encouragement flow freely. While shooting with the guys is great, our female-only environment offers a unique, welcoming vibe that’s often less intimidating—especially for newcomers. Plus, learning posture, grip, and movement tailored to a woman’s body makes all the difference. Women teaching women isn’t just smart—it’s empowering.
Everyday Heroes: These are not pin-up models or tactical warriors—they’re real women, just like you. From fitness fanatics to cuddly grandmas, our Facilitators represent a broad spectrum of ages and skill levels.
