During SHOT Show in late January, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSFF) released their latest study about women gun owners. The study surveyed 1001 women from ages 18-65 about their buying behavior and participation in shooting sports such as target shooting and hunting.  This NSSF info-graphic further highlights the study’s findings:

We came across this article by Holly Heyser in Shotgun Life recently and it reminded us of something we kept running into when getting this blog off of the ground.

As a woman hunter, Holly writes that she was surprised to learn that there aren’t many women who go hunting alone or with other women. In “Women Duck Hunters: Growing in Number but Lagging in Independence?,” she writes that even when hunting with a guide, women are more likely to go hunting with a male companion.
