Learn. Connect. Grow.

The SCSA Women’s Activities program is designed to create a welcoming and supportive environment where women can explore the shooting sports, develop practical skills, and connect with others who share similar interests.

SCSA offers a variety of women’s shooting and educational opportunities. Our Women’s Activities Director helps to plan and organize events year-round that are tailored to a welcome and relaxed environment for women of all skill levels. Specific events and dates are presented on the SCSA Calendar.

Whether your goal is learning safe firearm handling, improving marksmanship, exploring recreational shooting, or gaining confidence in personal protection, our programs are designed to meet women where they are—no experience required.

From first-time shooters to experienced participants looking to sharpen their skills, SCSA offers opportunities to learn, practice, and enjoy the shooting sports in a safe and encouraging setting.

More Than a Class—It’s a Community

Learning something new is easier when you don’t have to do it alone.

For many participants, the Women’s Activities program becomes more than just instruction—it becomes a place to build confidence, friendships, and community.

If you’ve ever been curious about firearms but didn’t know where to begin, felt intimidated by the learning curve, or simply wished you had other women to shoot with, this is a great place to start.

Our goal is to help women become knowledgeable, confident, and responsible participants in the shooting sports while creating a welcoming environment where questions are encouraged and learning is enjoyable.
