Why AWSA Members Selected Their Gun.

During one of our Saturday shoots, we discussed how we chose our guns and why. Our intent is to help other women shooters make thoughtful decisions about their gun purchases.

Subsequently, your feedback was collected via one of our email campaigns and the responses are available at this link.

Hi Everyone,

Where is this year going? The rest of summer brings us to August 3rd with out Mother/Daughter NSSF First Shots beginner class, registration on our website.

September 14th you will find us back on the range with cleaned guns and ready to get shooting. Hop on to our website for our practice clinics twice a month, and then come join us.

Our Annual Fall NRA Women on Target will be held November 2nd with a follow up Intermediate class with holstering on November 16th 2024.

These classes fill quickly so it's never to early to sign up for your spot as space is limited. Download the registration form, all information is there and you can go online to register as well.

Before you know it I'll be saying Merry Christmas!

"It was great to see all of you again. I so enjoyed the class and enjoyed it being so small.
What was impressive was the ratio of instructors to student.

My instructor was so good and helpful she did not miss a thing that you were doing…right or wrong.

It saddens me to leave for the summer before the open shooting with the girls but I will return once we get back in December Also, I will contact you for a private course to get my concealed license. Enjoy the summer." - L. Guetz.
