We wrapped up our annual Ladies of Long Range clinic today. This marks the fourth year of running this class, and it has become one of the most rewarding and anticipated weekends of our entire shooting season. Watching the progression over just a single day was incredible. Confidence grew with every relay, fundamentals tightened up fast, and by the end of the class these ladies were making consistent impacts at distances many people never imagine shooting.
What makes this class important goes far beyond simply getting more women out to the range. If you care about the future of fi****ms ownership, fi****ms policy, and protecting the Second Amendment, this is where real long-term change starts.
Women are now the fastest-growing demographic in the fi****ms community. According to industry data from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, nearly 50% of all new fi***rm purchases in recent years have been made by women. Millions of first-time gun owners since 2020 have been female, and that growth continues year after year. The conversation around fi****ms ownership is changing, and women are becoming a massive part of that shift.
Education and training matter. Responsible fi****ms ownership starts with safety, competence, and confidence. The more people we introduce to professional instruction and a positive fi****ms community, the stronger the future of shooting sports and gun rights becomes. These women are not only becoming capable shooters and hunters, they are becoming educated advocates, voters, and voices for the future of fi****ms ownership across California and the western United States.
Huge thank you to all the ladies who came out and put in the work today. You absolutely crushed it.
