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!!!!

As the Thanksgiving season unfolds, let’s take time to reflect on the blessings in our lives. It’s a wonderful opportunity to express gratitude for family, friends, and the moments that bring us joy. Stephanie and I are so thankful for all of our awesome She-Shooters. We enjoy spending time with you and hearing your stories and experiences. She-Shooters would not be what it is today without all of you!!! We wish you all a joyous and meaningful Thanksgiving season!

A huge Thank You goes out to US Law Shield & Daniel, Cara, and Matt for making our October meeting a great success. The seminar gave us the knowledge needed to prepare ourselves for what happens after defending ourselves and family against an attacker. We must be prepared in every aspect…from our firearm skills to awareness to overall knowledge!

Let’s Make It Count on the range and learn how to make our range time effective and efficient. Do you make a plan before going to the range? Do you earn your range time? So often I see people at the range who are just throwing lead downrange. Hey, I get it! Sometimes that is what we need to do. But to get the most of your time and save a little money, it is best to have a plan. Not to mention, it is awesome when you can leave the range feeling accomplished. Check those boxes and get it done! Join us Wednesday, November 13th at 6:00 pm as we discuss getting the most out of your range time. Come prepared with a range plan! Let’s share our ideas and experiences. Make sure to bring your firearms and range gear to join us on the range after our meeting. Let’s put in the work strengthening our foundations and building that confidence.!

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. See video link for a demonstration https://youtu.be/yNQR65n9hVo?si=rgGU85NrllFiNzes

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.
