Boot Showdown
When the shooting gets tough, the Goddesses go boot shopping. The Northeast was blanketed with just enough snow to remind us we'd better get warm boots, so we can shoot through the winter.
Practice, Practice… Ice Cream
It may not get us to Carnegie Hall, but practice is the key to success in shooting, too. With a backdrop of spectacular Fall foliage at the Beretta Shooting Grounds at Dover Furnace, the Goddesses With Guns got down to business this weekend.
Gratitude: The Secret to Success

First Shots
We Goddesses With Guns know it can be tough to figure out how and where to get started shooting. That's where the National Shooting Sports Foundation can help. The NSSF offers free introductory classes for women (and men) through their "First Shots" program and partner ranges nationwide.
Being in the Moment – Kim Rhode

CT Travelers’ Junior Jamboree & Birds of Prey
The Connecticut Travelers spent this past Saturday sharing their love of the outdoors with the next generation.

Little Athena had the opportunity to try her hand at archery, riflery, fly fishing and clay shooting.

After watching us on the course, she asked if she could give sporting clays a try - with Mom's 20-gauge Beretta, of course.
