The eight-day experience is open to both novices and seasoned participants. Top firearm instructors will coach ladies in the shooting of small-bore rifle silhouette, scoped/tactical carbine, long range high-power rifle, conventional and tactical pistol, historic firearms and shotgun (five-stand).

Participants will reside in the Competitor Housing Complex of the Whittington Center, eat in the dining facility and hunt deer, elk and antelope. Food, housing, guns, ammunition, targets, classes, evening activities, instructors, demonstrations and adventures are all included.
