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.

Fall 2023

Howdy Folks,

The weather has finally changed to something great. The cool evenings make me thing this is the best time of the year with pumpkin and apple pies, caramel apples, and oh how I could go on.

With the heat gone everyone wants to get out and sight – in their rifles for hunting or just go blow off for fun. Also we have 3 classes coming up, Oct. 28th Women on Target, Nov. 18th Intermediate class and Nov. 25th our NSSF First Shots Rifle for women only. All registration forms are on our website.

Whatever you decide, make sure your guns are clean, new batteries in your hearing protection, clean off eyes and be safe out there.
