Women On Target® clinics are available only to women — it’s a safe and friendly environment whether you’re picking up a gun for the very first time or are just brushing off some dust and need a little refresher. You’ll immediately feel at ease in the half- or full-day clinics, and will be provided with a hands-on, one-of-a-kind experience. No experience or equipment is necessary to participate.

Please Note: The response to this program has been overwhelming and met with great enthusiasm. With class size limited to approximately 20-25 students, we ask that applicants be patient. All applicants will be given the opportunity to attend a clinic, however they will be scheduled over the next few years with approximately five clinics being offered each year.

  • M & R Guns
