Women On Target® is designed to create more hunting and shooting
opportunities for women. There are currently about two million American women
who hunt and an additional four million who enjoy target shooting. These
numbers are steadily increasing.
Fulfilling its mission to "create opportunities,
encourage, educate, and mentor women's responsible participation in the
recreational shooting and hunting sports," Women On Target®
is helping women learn shooting and hunting skills in a safe and supportive
women-only atmosphere! In addition to exciting women-only hunts, Women On
Target® also sponsors a series of instructional shoots.
For the first time this year, VSSA was awarded money from
the NRA Foundation to provide grants to
