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.”
“I learned so much about gun safety and gained excellent knowledge on how to protect myself. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend this event and learn how to properly/safely shoot a gun.”
"Most of the girls who were in our group had never shot a gun before–but they knew they needed to learn to use it for self-defense, but they felt a little intimidated. Thank you for helping us grow in confidence and learn such a critical life skill in a positive outdoor environment. You make such a difference!"
