Armed & Fabulous Women's Group
We are looking for ladies to volunteer to help get the women's group up and running again.
We are hopeful there is interest in creating a “ladies only” shooting group at the Gateway Sportsman’s Club. The women's group was organized by women shooters for women shooters and included instruction for pistol, rifle and shotgun. Our goal is to take beginners to whatever skill level they wish to achieve, and provide experienced shooters with more opportunities to shoot.
Monthly meetings were fun, social gatherings where women came together for support, encouragement, ask questions in a safe and nonjudgmental environment, improve on their marksmanship, and bond together in the shooting community.
If you'd like to volunteer send an email to gatewaysportsmansclub@gmail.com
