About Virtual GNOs

The events are free for AG & AG members to attend.

Yes, participants must be members of A Girl & A Gun.

All terms, rules, and guidelines apply per the A Girl & A Gun Virtual Training Terms of Service. Whether your training is self-guided or via video, you are solely responsible for the safety of yourself, your equipment, and your space.

See “Dates & Agenda” section, above. Events take place in our Virtual GNO Private Facebook Group. Why Facebook? We know that many of our members prefer to avoid social media, and we completely understand that. The reason we use Facebook for scheduled videos is simple: it’s free, widely accessible, and has built-in livestream technology. This allows us to stream reliably without passing on extra costs to members or taking on additional platform fees. It’s the easiest way to keep everything running smoothly and accessible for the whole community. If you’re not a Facebook fan, no worries… you can use an anonymous gmail address to create a simple account under a pseudonym just for AG & AG content. Many members do this, and it works perfectly. There’s no need to build a full profile or use it for anything else. It’s a quick and easy way to jump right into the videos hassle-free. And, all event recordings are available at AG & AG Virtual GNOs so you won’t miss a moment.

During Virtual GNOs, we work out of our Shooting Journal. You can purchase a hard copy or members can download it for free.

Faster, Smarter Target Transitions: Virtual GNO

This month’s Virtual Girls Night Out featured Tatiana Whitlock, National Director of Training, exploring Target Transitions and how shooters move their attention, their eyes, and ultimately the gun from one shooting problem to the next. Transitions can look fast and athletic, but Tatiana emphasized that speed is not where the process begins. Efficiency is. See sooner, move with purpose, arrive predictably, and make a good shot.

Understanding and Practicing Malfunctions with Purpose: Virtual GNO

Every shooter begins with the same goal: make the gun fire accurately and consistently. We spend countless hours learning grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control, and recoil management. Those are the skills that get us started. Eventually, however, every shooter reaches the same inevitable reality. Firearms are mechanical tools, and mechanical tools occasionally stop working as expected.

During this Virtual Girls’ Night Out presentation, Tatiana Whitlock, Director of Training for A Girl & A Gun, explored an often overlooked but critically important part of becoming a confident shooter: understanding malfunctions and practicing how to solve them with purpose.

Life Is a Great Adventure: Virtual GNO with Kiara Sandoval

Adventure looks different for everyone. Sometimes it means traveling to a new place, trying a new sport, or taking on a challenge that pushes you outside your comfort zone. Other times, it means finding the courage to navigate everyday life in a new way. During this month’s Virtual Girls Night Out, Robyn Sandoval and her daughter, Kiara, explored the many forms adventure can take and how embracing new experiences helps us build confidence, resilience, and a deeper appreciation for life. Through personal stories, lessons learned, and reflections on the A Girl & A Gun community, they reminded members that growth begins when we are willing to say yes to the unknown and trust ourselves to take the next step.

Ready Positions for Every Environment: Virtual GNO

What do you do with a firearm when you’re not actively shooting? The answer seems simple, but the reality is far more nuanced. In this month’s Virtual Girls Night Out, Director of Training Tatiana Whitlock explores the often-overlooked topic of ready positions and explains why there is no single “right” answer for every situation. From compressed ready and low ready to high ready and Position Sul, Tatiana breaks down the purpose, advantages, limitations, and real-world applications of each technique. More importantly, she challenges common misconceptions and demonstrates how environment, range rules, physical ability, and safety considerations should drive your decisions. Whether you’re looking to build solid fundamentals or seeking a deeper understanding of firearm handling, this GNO offers valuable insights that will help you become safer, more adaptable, and more confident every time you handle a firearm.

Growth Through Authenticity: GNO with Barb Miller

In this Virtual Girls Night Out, Barb Miller and Robyn Sandoval explore what it truly means to be real through leadership, community, confidence, and vulnerability.

Through moving personal stories, candid reflections, and meaningful dialogue, listeners are reminded that growth often begins with simply being authentic. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, encouragement, or a stronger sense of connection and purpose, this conversation offers an honest and uplifting perspective that resonates far beyond the shooting community.
