Have you seen the recent Wall Street Journal story titled “Ladies’ Night at the Gun Range”? It’s a fascinating look into how shooting ranges across the country are transforming—shedding the old “gritty and grim” vibe in favor of upscale experiences that feel more like a country club than a concrete bunker.
But here’s the fun twist: you don’t have to be into firearms to be part of this movement.
Right here at our open-to-the-public clay shooting resort, we’ve been building something similar—a welcoming space for community, connection, and unforgettable experiences. From our Ladies’ Nights Out to private events, group bookings, and weekend escapes, the focus is the same: offering outdoor fun in a beautiful, relaxed environment that’s as much about camaraderie as it is about clay targets.
From “Stale, Pale, and Male” to Sparkle and Social
The WSJ story quotes an expert who describes outdated gun ranges as “stale, pale, and male.” That’s exactly the mold being broken—from Ohio to Maryland, and yes, even right here.
Places similar to our sporting destination, they are wooing a new wave of guests—especially women—with amenities like gourmet restaurants, live music, cocktail classes, and women-only shooting leagues. Sound familiar?
At our resort, we’ve taken a similar route—no politics, no pressure, just pure fun.
Our women’s events are some of the most anticipated nights on our calendar. Think:
» Champagne and clays
» Group instruction with a side of laughs
» Bonfire socials afterward
» Farm-to-table bites and local wine pairings
» And yes, plenty of Insta-worthy photo ops 🎯📸
Empowerment and Escape, No Gun Required
While the gun ranges featured in the article provide that Topgolf-meets-tactical experience, our clay shooting resort offers the same sense of empowerment—without the firearms. It’s all about hitting the target, building confidence, and having a blast (literally and figuratively).
And just like the story mentions, many of our guests come for the clays—but stay for the memories. We’ve hosted birthday parties, corporate retreats, bridal showers, and even “just because” girlfriend getaways.
We hear it all the time:
“I never thought I’d love shooting clays… but now I get it.”
It’s Not Just for the Guys Anymore
The most exciting part? Women are taking the lead. Across the country—and at our own resort—women are embracing outdoor sports like never before. They’re inviting friends, planning events, and making this space their own.
So whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned shooter, our message is simple: You belong here. No gear needed, just a good attitude and a few besties by your side.
