Hundreds of women jammed Cherry Ridge Range to join us for our “Fourth Annual Women’s Day at the Range” and afterward described it as “awesome, exciting, fun,” and “Better than they expected.” They also described it as “safe, comfortable and non-intimidating.” YES – June 8th was all that and much more!!


ANJRPC was once again delighted to introduce our new friends to the shooting sports and share the fun with so many who have never had the opportunity to bust a clay bird or hear that satisfying clang of the metal plate being hit! We designed our event so that women of all ages and physical abilities could safely and comfortably learn a new sport under the guidance of the most patient, knowledgeable, and friendly instructors anywhere.

All of our guests had the opportunity to try pistols, rifles and shotguns. This year we added an additional rifle event using metal plates because women are just getting too good shooting bullseyes at those paper targets! We were also able to introduce them to another great outdoor sport—summer biathlon for those shooters that want to stay in good shape! 

Smiles and cheers abounded all day as the women used the skills and fundamentals that they were taught in the morning classroom session to bring home targets they could be proud of. Their ability to shoot well and safely is the direct result of our instructors who have many years of shooting experience and friendly dispositions that speak volumes for the gun-owning community.
