A Girl & A Gun- Empowering Women in Shooting Sports
Chris Avena interviewed Robyn Sandoval, founder of A Girl & A Gun, about the organization’s origins and nationwide growth.
Sandoval explained it began as a 2011 “Girls’ Night Out” to introduce women to firearms in a welcoming, non-intimidating environment.
A Girl & A Gun has grown into the largest women’s firearms training organization in the United States. The organization empowers women through professional firearms training, mentorship, and supportive shooting sports communities.
Sandoval emphasized the importance of certified instructors, safety education, and confidence-building for new and returning shooters.
She highlighted how mentorship helps break barriers and reshape perceptions of women in the firearms industry.
With chapters across all 50 states, A Girl & A Gun continues expanding training, leadership, and instructor development programs.
The organization remains committed to responsible gun ownership, education, and growing female participation in shooting sports.
