A Girl & A Gun is a women‑led shooting league that turns a weekly range session into a deliberate space for skill building and social connection. The Foothills chapter brings together women shooters in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where firearms training, marksmanship improvement, and casual conversation happen in the same evening.
