A Girl and A Gun - Amarillo Chapter

Last night was the kick-off  of Girl's Night Out for the Amarillo Chapter of A Girl and A Gun Ladies Shooting League. It was amazing! We had 93 wonderful ladies show up, which was quite a surprise since only 45 RSVP'd at our meetup.com page. Although there was a little confusion due to the high attendance, there were no confrontations, and everyone was patient and kind for the most part.

We had 67 ladies sign up as members and we are so blessed to have each of you as part of our new little family! We gave away some great door prizes and had a great time shooting! We even made the news.

Thank you to each of you who showed up. I wanted to share a little more information for any newcomers interested in A Girl and A Gun.

A Girl and A Gun is a statewide shooting league for women only to promote firearms education and shooting sports. It was started in Leander, TX by Julianna and Renee, two wonderful ladies that I am blessed to know. The club currently has chapter in many different cities and is growing quickly.

Girl's Night Out is an opportunity for ladies of all shooting levels to get together at the range and share some time together while plinking a few rounds down range. The amount you get to shoot will depend on the amount of ladies present at a time. We will run in squads, with so many ladies to a squad and a squad leader who can help with some basic instruction, but this is not a classroom environment. You do not have to be a member of A Girl and A Gun Club to come to Girl's Night Out but you will receive discounts on range fees if you are a member. Range fees are $12/night for members and $15/night for non-members.

Instructional classes will be offered from time to time. Some of these classes will be offered to the general public and some will be members only. We will have basic instructional classes, CHL classes, and clinics on subjects like gun cleaning, holster options, and emergency preparedness. We will also have members only functions such as movie nights and outings. Private Instructional lessons are offered and given at a discount to members of A Girl and A Gun Club. Membership to A Girl and A Gun club is $40 a year and offers benefits including discounts at local and online retailers, members only classes and functions, discounted classes and range fees, and a free membership to Panhandle Gunslingers in Amarillo.

The club also hopes to encourage ladies to become participants in shooting sports such as IDPA and to attend trainings and camps such as Babes With Bullets. These opportunities offer women further education and establish a female presence in the shooting community.
