CONQUER 2027: What to Expect at A Girl & A Gun National Conference

Recently, Robyn Sandoval, A Girl & A Gun’s President & CEO, jumped on Zoom with members of our Wimberley Valley, Texas, Chapter to answer questions about attending National Conference for the first time. Their questions were the same ones we hear from women across the country: Am I skilled enough? What gear do I need? How do I choose my classes? What if I have never flown with a firearm? What happens if I show up and discover that something is wrong with my equipment? Those are important questions because Conference is a big experience, but it should never feel intimidating. Every part of the event, from our Color Tracks and Gear Check to class scheduling and Facilitator support, is designed to help you arrive prepared, train at an appropriate level, explore new opportunities, and leave Colorado with greater skill, confidence, and community.

Team Troy’s Ursula Williams Says Jump in and Have Fun at Fall Fest

Ursula has advice for shooters attending Brownells Multigun Fall Fest, especially first time competitors. “Don’t be scared, everybody there is there to help regardless of a jersey or not. Don’t think you can’t talk to the women wearing jerseys,” she laughs. “And watch the women not wearing jerseys, they can be kicking butt just as much. A Girl & A Gun brings in a lot of new women shooters. It’s the most welcoming group. So don’t be scared to try anything and just listen and learn. Ask questions. Some of the best knowledge I’ve gathered has been at their events. And then just have fun!”
