Girlz n Guns

Many women don't know other female shooters and feel out of place at ranges dominated by men. Girlz n Guns solves that problem. Students discover they're not alone—these women come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and backgrounds. Business owners, college students, stay-at-home moms, retired professionals—if they want to shoot, they belong here.

Erinn's teaching philosophy centers on building competence and confidence without the gatekeeping found in traditionally male spaces. Her blog posts tackle real concerns: fear and intuition in self-defense, overcoming imposter syndrome in shooting sports, and troubleshooting common gun problems.

Girlz n Guns operates a line of t-shirts and accessories exclusively designed for women who shoot. The blog covers firearms topics, self-defense mindset, women's shooting culture, and practical skills.
