01 · Is it right for you

A clinic built for women, at every level.

NRA Women on Target® is a 4-hour, women-only instructional shooting clinic for new and experienced shooters. You learn firearm safety, parts and operation, ammunition and shooting fundamentals in the classroom, then shoot a handgun on the 25-yard range with an NRA Certified Instructor. $95 covers tuition and books, and the range fee is included.

A good fit if

  • You’re new to firearms, or planning to buy your first handgun.

  • It’s been years since you shot. Come back to an updated session in the classroom and on the range.

  • You’d rather learn alongside other women. The clinic is a space where women learn, shoot and build skills together.

  • You want a smaller class. We keep class sizes reduced for a better experience.

02 · Curriculum

What you’ll learn.

The clinic runs in three parts: how firearms work and how to handle them safely, live fire on the range, and owning a firearm responsibly afterward.
