The A Girl and A Gun (AG&AG) annual conference is always an incredible event, and this year was no exception!

We kicked things off Thursday with our exhibit table in the exhibitor tents, where participants had a chance to answer a Revolutionary War trivia question and spin the prize wheel. The activity—led by Ghostring with help from ToLiveDeliberately—was an absolute blast and incredibly popular! Ghostring made sure that even if participants didn't know the answers at first, they left having learned something new. It was a fantastic and engaging way to share a piece of Revolutionary War history while introducing attendees to Project Appleseed and our mission to Reignite the Spirit of the American Revolution!

From Days 2 to 5, we ran two half-day rifle sessions each day. I can't say enough about the tenacity and determination of the AG&AG ladies. Most are primarily pistol shooters, and many had limited or no experience with a rifle. Despite being hit with a firehose of information in a short time, they soaked it all in and applied their new skills impressively.

We saw some incredible results:  Several ladies earned an Appleseed pin by scoring over 40 on the Red Coat target, and others earned a Battle of Saratoga commemorative quarter for shooting a perfect score and/or hitting the shingle.  Lauren in session 5 scored a perfect score of 55!!  WOW, what a beautiful target!!  Jessica, Sharon, Jamie, Misty, Dawn, Tamara and Cheryl all scored 40+!!!  Way to go ladies! 

We fully expect to see many of these motivated ladies signing up for a one- or two-day 25m rifle event soon, where they'll get the chance to learn sitting and standing positions—and perhaps earn the coveted Rifleman patch. These ladies ROCK!

None of this would have been possible without our amazing instructor cadre. A huge shoutout to:  LateByProxy, ToLiveDeliberately, KOF, bravhrt, Gunjunkie, Mrs.Smith and Ghostring

You all made this an event to remember!

A heartfelt thank you to A Girl and A Gun for the honor and privilege of participating in such an AWESOME event. We can't wait to come back!

We were so busy, we didn't have many opportunities to take photos.  Please post any photos you took.  Thank you!!

It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan

This was an outstanding event, as the awesome photos depict. Great attitudes from all the ladies, an excellent facility, and near perfect CO springtime weather.
The Hits Count COF is a superb choice for a half-day session. And it would be remiss not to mention the solid comradery building amongst the cadre.
