Firearms Training

College women receive expert training in firearms safety and marksmanship at ranges near campuses nationwide.

Confidence. Competence. Leadership.

At a time when the Second Amendment is under attack and young women are told to outsource their safety, our firearms training offers a powerful alternative. Through hands-on instruction from certified experts, college women gain more than technical skills—they develop the confidence to protect themselves, the competence to handle firearms responsibly, and the leadership to empower others. Held at ranges near college campuses across the country, these events—which we call a Day at the Range—help young women embrace their Second Amendment rights and grow into strong, self-reliant conservative women.

“This event was an excellent opportunity for interpersonal growth, competency in a new skill, and confidence! I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn about the second amendment among other interested women and grow our community by grounding it in a foundation of trust, respect, and knowledge.”
