WOMEN’S SHOOTING EVENTS

Ladies, get your guns and join Packing Pretty™ and Girls Guide to Guns™ for a women’s weekend full of firearms and fun!

November is the season for pumpkins, hot apple cider, and turkey feasts. It’s also the season for what can be a dangerous endeavor not only on your wallet but on your health – holiday shopping.  Consider this a little pre-holiday stress “group therapy” (pun intended).

This is your chance to meet, shoot with, and learn from seasoned NRA Certified instructor Gracie from Packing Pretty™ ; and the beautiful and talented shooter Natalie from Girls Guide to Guns™ .We are super excited to inform you that the NRA Women’s Network will be sending out a camera crew to film segments of these events. They will also be sending out representative Lacey Duffy, so this is a great chance to get in touch with the NRA.

Other special guests include Shelley Rae and Annette Wachter (for the Ladies Day).

Start the weekend off with our hands-on NRA Basic Pistol Course for women. Learn the fundamentals of pistol shooting and firearm ownership while building confidence, skill, and friendships. This is a great way to introduce yourself to the world of shooting. Whether you’re a first timer, or a basic to intermediate shooter, you are sure to walk away from this class confident, empowered, and ready further pursue your life as shooter.

End the weekend on a fun and feminine note with”Ladies’ Day” at the range. This is a great opportunity to practice what you learned in class the day before, and meet even more women who share the same interests as you.

Seats are limited for both events, so pre-registration is required.
