Armed Lady, LLC Announces New Women's Shooting Chapter Armed- All Levels of Experience Welcome

Women currently comprise the fastest growing segment of the gun-owning population nationwide. With such a large number of women becoming increasingly interested in the shooting sports and self defense, the need for proper training and education is great. In an industry which has been male-dominated and focused for so long, it's important for women to feel comfortable and supported in their quest to practice and learn. Armed Lady, LLC is introducing Premier Shooting Chapters across the nation with a new chapter in Holly Springs/Canton, GA starting soon.

The Armed Lady Holly Springs/Canton, GA Premier Shooting Chapter will welcome women of all experience levels, offering the opportunity to join other women interested in learning more about shooting, self defense and personal protection.

The Armed Lady Holly Springs/Canton, GA Chapter is being spearheaded by Elizabeth Finch and LaDonna Lowe, both who are local female gun enthusiasts and NRA Certified Instructors. Events will be held monthly and open to all women, 18 years or older. For those under 18, additional parental participation and permission will be required. Armed Lady has partnered with Hi-Caliber to be the host range for these monthly events. Monthly events will last two hours, with one hour of educational content followed by one hour of practical range time.
