    A Girl & A Gun events are fun, social gatherings where you get firearms training and encouragement, ask questions in a safe and nonjudgmental environment, improve your marksmanship, and make new friends. All AG & AG events are supervised by Certified Firearms Instructors. All Chapter Facilitators are women who can “speak girl” and provide techniques and tips for female shooters. Our goal is to empower, educate, and have fun at the range. AG & AG events have been successful steppingstones for thousands of women since 2011. Please know that we cannot give a formal training class in a casual environment at Girl’s Night Out and that is not our intent; if you are a new shooter, we strongly encourage that you contact Cass Crago. AG & AG is honored to be a resource for you to help find the right instructor and/or classes.

    GNO is Girls Night Out, a chance to hang with our shooting sisters for supervised practice.

    At 6:00pm sharp we start the safety brief, which is mandatory for all shooters and observers (so please try to be a couple minutes early if at all possible) and have range time from after the safety brief until 8pm.

    This is an A Girl & A Gun event held at Southern Michigan Gun Club’s outdoor Range. 

    The fee for participation is $20 for any participants. If you are a member of AG&AG or Southern Michigan Gun Club you can deduct $5 from the price ($15 event fee). If you are a member of both, you can deduct $10 ($10 event fee).

    This, like always, is a chance to shoot in a friendly environment and push your skills a bit as there is a bit of instruction provided to help make you a better shooter no matter your level! We often times will talk about the Quarterly match or the Pistol Marksmanship Program and give you an opportunity to learn more about competition, in a low-key friendly environment (do NOT be intimidated).

    For this event and all future GNO’s I recommend that you bring 150 rounds of ammunition if possible. You will go through ammunition quickly and you will be sad when it runs out. Pistol caliber .22-.45 is acceptable as long as the velocity is under 1000fps and no FMJ for the Indoor Range. Outdoor range no restrictions are in place.

    Contact Cass Crago at 269-297-0071 or cassynewt@gmail.com

    A few more specifics: You will need to be keyed in if you are not a member of Southern Michigan. This means that the RSVP process is super important so that we know who we need to let into the club. This is not as big of a hurdle as it seems, we just need to make sure you don’t get left outside the gate :)

    What do I bring?
    SMGC is a great club, but we need to make sure we are keeping ourselves and others as safe as possible. Eye protection, ear protection, and a ball cap are required. In addition, your firearm and around 150 rds of ammunition (or whatever you can spare right now). 

    If you are new to shooting we recommend that you contact Cass Crago at 269-297-0071 or cassynewt@gmail.com

    I am super excited about this event and I hope you will be too!!!!

    he ladies' shoot will be held in the Pit at SMGC.  Or the clubhouse if weather is unpleasant. 
    To register email cassynewt@gmail.com


    The Women's SIG at SMGC is dedicated to offering introductory to advanced knowledge and techniques in the safe handling and use of all firearms. We are dedicated to encouraging women to join and enjoy more of the shooting sports. 


     ** Some firearms will be available to try out to find what fits and works best for new shooters.
    **Ammunition will be provided for new shooters 
    **Non-members $15, members $10. 
    These range fees help to offset the cost of maintaining the range, target holders and targets. 


    More information on the Ladies Shoot- All events start with a safety meeting and then the ladies are joined by their personal instructors, to learn the proper method of the safe handling and use of firearms. After the initial introduction to the shooting sports, the ladies are given a choice to try different styles of firearms, to find the type that fits their needs best. The skills learned will enable you to actively participate in all the shooting activities that SMGC offers. We encourage all our ladies to return often, to build their skills. During the season we endeavor to hold diverse events to provide a chance for our ladies to understand all the different types of firearms and events available in the shooting sports. 
    Firearms are provided by our volunteer Range Safety Officers, and the ammunition is supplied, but you may elect to bring your own firearm and ammunition. A portion of the ammunition used is provided by the NRA Foundation/Friends of the NRA via a grant to the Women's Division of SMGC

    Welcome to the New Shooter – Pistol course. This course is part of our mission to empower, educate, and support learners and their communities on their journey with firearms. The New Shooter - Pistol course provides the ideal foundation for shooters who are ready to take their first shots with a semi-automatic pistol.

    ABOUT THE COURSE- New Shooter is a 4-hour introductory program designed to give new shooters the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to safely and confidently enjoy shooting a handgun. Ideal for those eager to learn the essentials of semi-automatic handgun operation, this course builds a strong foundation for safe and responsible participation at the range.

    In this course, students will:

    • Learn firearms safety rules and range rules and etiquette.
    • Essential parts, functions, and operation of a semi-automatic handgun.
    • Practice proper grip, stance, and trigger control for safe and accurate shooting.
    • Develop safe firearm handling habits under the supervision of experienced instructors.
    • Gain confidence through live-fire exercises designed for beginner success.
    What to bring:  All you need is note taking material, eye protection, and ear protection. --Firearms and ammunition are provided.

    We understand that stepping into a new skill can be intimidating. That’s why this course integrates clear, supportive instruction with progressive skill development. The class begins with a focused classroom session, transitions to a layered dry-fire session and concludes with live-fire range exercises. Students are encouraged to ask questions and take notes. We also honor personal boundaries meaning any participant may choose to pause, observe, and rejoin when ready, always under instructor supervision. Class sizes are intentionally kept small to ensure personalized instruction and foster a supportive learning environment. While the course is designed to run approximately four hours, slight adjustments may be made based on student needs.

    What: Holster Skills is a focused 4-hour course designed to introduce students to the safe, consistent, and efficient use of an outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster. This class is an excellent first step for shooters who are ready to move beyond static shooting and begin building the foundational skills required to safely draw from a holster in a controlled range environment.

    The course begins with a strong emphasis on the Firearm Safety Rules and how they specifically apply when working from a holster. Students will learn proper holster selection, positioning, and setup to ensure both safety and consistency. Instruction then breaks down the draw stroke into clear, manageable steps—allowing students to build a smooth, repeatable process from the holster to a ready-to-fire position.

    Through guided dry-fire practice, students will develop safe mechanics, proper hand placement, and efficient movement patterns without the pressure of live fire. As confidence and proficiency grow, students will transition into live-fire exercises where they will apply these skills under direct supervision, reinforcing safe and consistent execution.

    Additional focus is placed on responding to range commands, maintaining awareness, and safely reholstering—one of the most critical and often overlooked aspects of holster work. Students will also begin developing the discipline and mindset required to work from the holster responsibly and with control.

    Throughout the course, safety remains the top priority, with strict adherence to all range protocols and procedures. By the end of the class, students will have a clear understanding of safe holster use, a foundational draw stroke they can build upon, and the confidence to continue progressing in their firearms training journey.

    The Action Pit is reserved to setup the stages in all 3 bays for tomorrows Action Match.  More hands make for light work.  If time (and energy) allows, we will shoot through the stages for test/evaluation purposes.  If you are new to SMGC, Action shooting, or the Action Pit, this is a great way to get a basic understanding of what a match is like.  In order to be eligible to participate in Action events, you must have proven competency in drawing from the holster and shooting on the move.  Gear requirements are in place.  Questions?  Email tim@ssinspect.com

    • SMGC Action Pit

    Open practice is a fantastic time for members that have not introduced themselves to "all things Pit".  We will have static shooting at steel plates/targets and also usually setup an action stage (similar to what you might see at an IDPA match).  When you enter the Action Pit, you must have eye protection and a brimmed hat on at all times as we are in a shot fall area.  There is a comprehensive Action Pit SOP available to download under the Resources tab at the SMGC website.  In order to draw from the holster and shoot on the move, you must first show that you can do this safely and competently.  Questions?  Email tim@ssinspect.com.  Come out and see what you've been missing in life :)
