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!!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Stephanie and I would like to wish you a year full of new beginnings, growth, and exciting opportunities! We hope January brings you fresh perspectives and inspires you to chase your dreams with confidence and determination. Here’s to a year of health, happiness, and success!!

It was awesome to see everyone at our December meeting! We had the opportunity to fellowship with laughs and refreshments as we revisited all the amazing topics we discussed throughout 2024. It is crazy to think another year is in the books. It was also great to hear amazing ideas from our She-Shooters for 2025!!! Stephanie and I are going to strive to incorporate your requests into this year’s line up, as well as offer more Ladies Only classes! As I always say… YOU are what makes She-Shooters. Your input is important and we want to fulfill your needs.

Join us this month on Wednesday, January 15th at 6:00 pm at FreeState Gun Range as we discuss Beyond the Fundamentals: Control & Letting Go of the “Fear”. Do you have a great foundation and good fundamentals, but sometimes you feel like you are not in control? Or do you struggle with a bit of fear or anxiety when you go to the range? Let’s talk about it. We are going to take a closer look at why you may be feeling this way as well as discuss some tips on how to help. Knowing the “why” to some of these questions will help your journey go a lot smoother. Remember, this is your journey and you travel it at your pace. As always, we will be going on the range after our meeting so bring your gear. If there is anything you need…we’ve got you covered!

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.
