Join Us!!!!

Are you looking to gain more knowledge about firearms? Are you hesitant in signing up for classes because you feel like you might be the only female? Are you self-conscious about shooting? Well, She-Shooters is the place for you!!!! We are an all female group with all different levels of skill and knowledge with firearms. We welcome all levels of experience to our meetings on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. We cover a different topic each month from Maryland Law to Practical Concealed Carry to Situational Awareness to Less Lethal Applications and everything in between. Our mission is to support and enhance the lives of women in the areas of firearms and personal defense. Our vision is to build confidence among women so they can protect themselves and their loved ones. Stephanie and I do this by sharing our knowledge and experiences in a relaxed & safe environment, keeping it entertaining as well. We would love to have you join us!!!!

Wishing you a season filled with peace, joy, and love!

As we embrace the final month of the year, may your days be merry and bright. Whether you're celebrating the holidays with family, friends, or in your own quiet way, may this time be a reminder of all the good things in life. Here's to new memories, fresh beginnings, and the hope that the year ahead is filled with happiness and success. Happy Holidays and a Wonderful New Year to you and yours!

We had another great meeting in November!!! Every month we see and meet new She-Shooters. And of course we love seeing ALL of our returning She-Shooters!!! I can’t stress enough that She-Shooters would not be what it is without all of you! At our November meeting we discussed ways to make your range time effective and efficient. We went over some drills to try that will save you time and money, as well as making a plan before you head out to the range to keep yourself focused. As always, there were great questions and suggestions from all which kept the discussion engaging. We also had an awesome turn out for the range time portion of our meeting. Stephanie and I love seeing the camaraderie among the group!!! You ladies are AMAZING!!!!!

December’s meeting will be Wednesday, 12/11 at 6:00 pm. We will be celebrating the season with a Holiday Fellowship, Open Forum Q&A, and a 2024 Recap with refreshments. If you plan on attending and would like to bring a goodie to share, please do so. Let’s get together in a safe and relaxed environment to start off the holiday season. And of course we will be making some noise out on the range after our meeting.

Remember to use your She-Shooter coupons (don’t have one, come to a meeting) and remember EVERY Wednesday, from open to close, is EMPOWERED WOMEN WEDNESDAYS at FreeState Gun Range! Ladies shoot for half price, $5.00 gets you unlimited firearm rentals, one free target, and no charge for eye/ear protection rental!! Work on those skills and save money…it doesn’t get much better than that!!!

Monthly Drills:

Tap/Rack Drill: You will need snap caps for this drill. Have someone else load your magazine with a mix of live rounds and snap caps. Load and make ready. Begin shooting maintaining all fundamentals. Surprise…you get a click and no bang. Tap, rack, get back on target, and continue shooting. Maintain trigger finger discipline when clearing your “malfunction”. Do as many times as you like at any distance.

Extend, Touch, Press Drill: You will need to place your target at 4-7 yards. Start at 4 if you’d like and then work up to 7 or farther. Load 5 rounds to start. Get in a good stance and get a proper grip. You will start at high compressed ready. Extend arms parallel to line of sight, both eyes open. Once on target, touch your trigger. Next, press trigger firing 1 round. Bring back to high compressed ready. Repeat for a total of 5 reps. The next set of reps you will fire 2 rounds at press (total of 10 rounds). For the final set of reps you will fire 3 rounds at press (total of 15 rounds). This drill will build your confidence, improve defensive accuracy, improve recoil control, and improve shooting speed.

Weak Hand Pick Up: 2 rounds at different distances using any silhouette target placing all rounds center mass.

*** Place firearm on the bench in front of you with the muzzle pointed downrange. Place strong/dominant hand behind your back.

When ready, pick up firearm using weak hand only. Get sights on target and fire 2 shots. Repeat as much as you want.
