It served as a fantastic networking opportunity, allowing women from completely different backgrounds to connect, share their stories, and build community over a shared passion for the Second Amendment.
A Multi-State Gathering for Empowerment
Bright and early on June 6th, the main event commenced at the world-renowned SIG SAUER Academy. Women traveled from multiple states across the country to converge on Epping, New Hampshire, demonstrating that the desire for personal safety and freedom knows no borders. The day was packed with comprehensive, expert-led training designed to equip attendees with real-world skills and confidence:
- Firearms Instruction & Live-Fire Training: Participants hit the range with top-tier professional instructors, practicing core marksmanship skills, recoil management, and precision shooting using premium firearms and gear.
- Self-Defense & Mindset Instruction: Instructors focused heavily on situational awareness, defensive posture, and the tactical mindset required for personal protection.
- 2A Advocacy: In addition to physical skills, the event highlighted civic engagement and the importance of defending constitutional rights, capped off with every attendee receiving a complimentary annual membership to Gun Owners of America (GOA).
High Stakes and Big Wins
Adding to the excitement, the event featured exclusive vendor exhibits, product demonstrations, and special discounts at the flagship SIG Experience Center store. Most thrilling of all were the raffle drawings and giveaways, which gave attendees the opportunity to take home high-quality firearms, premium optics, and top-tier tactical accessories. National Women’s Range Day proved to be much more than a training seminar. It was a powerful celebration of self-reliance, community, and the enduring truth that gun rights are women's rights.
