“camilla”

Weatherby, Inc. has announced the launch of its new "Women of Weatherby" Name Your Rifle sweepstakes. The company is looking for a name for its new rifle—which will be offered in limited calibers, and will be the industry's first rifle designed for women, by women—and it's turning to consumers for a little help.

At SHOT Show 2016, Weatherby premiered its new Vanguard Camilla, a rifle designed exclusively with the huntress in mind. The company's mission, from the start, was to craft a rifle that was designed from the ground up for women, by women—and not to just make a smaller, pinker version of a standard Vanguard. The result is the Camilla, which is now shipping to stores around the country.

The NRA Women's Leadership Forum began more than a decade ago, and has since grown into one of the largest and most influential philanthropic groups within NRA. This weekend, at the 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Louisville, the organization will host its annual gathering. Weatherby and Leupold have teamed up to support the Women's Leadership Forum and NRA alike, and will be offering a special rifle and riflescope combination package for auction at the event.

From upland game to big game, these guns represent real value for shooters.

NRA Publications will present its annual Golden Bullseye Awards and Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award at an invitation-only breakfast on Friday, April 28, during the 2017 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Atlanta, Georgia.

Weatherby's Vanguard was ingeniously redesigned for women. Named the "Camilla," it truly is a woman’s rifle. Now it’s got some real long distance capabilities, thanks to the 6.5 Creedmoor variant.

Whether you’re a woman in the market for a hunting rifle or a guy looking to purchase one for a special female hunter in your life, Weatherby’s thoughtful design and classy aesthetics make the Vanguard Camilla an excellent choice.

Twenty percent of hunters are female, so it can’t hurt to offer women a hunting rifle they can call their own. Weatherby’s Vanguard Camilla Rifle goes above and beyond the typical “color it pink and call it a girl’s gun.”

Participants, outfitted with Weatherby Camillas and Leupold optics, spent two days developing their skills to shoot at distance and in varying weather conditions in Wyoming.
