They did it! We’ve mentioned the CZ-USA Guinness World Record attempt since June, when they first made the announcement. David Miller, the Shotgun Product and Special Event Manager for CZ-USA, wanted to elevate youth from both the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and A.I.M. by choosing his team from their national events.  Sponsored by CZ-USA […]

I first began precision shooting through some employees from SilencerCo that teach precision shooting classes. Curtis Broadbent and Casey Knorr, from Learn to Shoot Precision, invited me out to their precision shooting range near Five Mile Pass Recreation Area in Utah County, where they had me hitting targets back-to-back at a mile in my first […]

I recently heard someone remark that “it’s too personal” to choose a holster for someone else, and while it may seem like a daunting process, it can be done – if you know what that person wants. I’ve designed a checklist for you so that you can discover what the person who needs a new […]

For some time now, I’ve wanted to enjoy some quality time getting to know the AR platform better. With all of the misnomers and ignorance surrounding this misidentified “assault rifle,” I knew that the only way to educate myself was to get my hands on one. I’ve learned so much from reviewing the Ruger AR-556, […]

With all the talk of guns in the news, I find myself giggling at the use of incorrect firearm verbiage. Sadly, I sometimes even hear these same incorrect words during conversations in gun shops and at ranges. To avoid confusion, I’ve compiled a list of firearm terms I often hear used improperly.  Sponsored by Springfield […]

Our dove season opened Labor Day weekend, and I felt excited to take my new Remington V3 Field Sport for a spin in the field on South Carolina’s dove opener. While I typically shoot a 20 gauge over-under for dove, I knew the Remington V3 would be a great gun for this season. Because the […]

So, now that we know that we need to wear eye protection, is it enough to wear our cute aviators and call it good? The emphatic answer is NO! While these sunglasses block the sun, they’re definitely not safety-certified or ballistic-rated. Eyewear certification is imperative on the range. Sponsored by CrossBreed Holsters With that being […]

Owning a firearm is a right of every American, but it also has implied responsibility. The responsibility is to practice good firearms safety. Proficiency also is vitally important, especially when you are using your gun for personal protection.   At Shoot Like A Girl, when we meet soon-to-be, first-time and/or new gun owners, we stress […]

A couple of months ago, I got myself a new Glock 48. You can read my review here to see what I thought about it. Like many others, I looked forward to changing the standard notch and post sights with something more user-friendly. I prefer to put night sights on all my carry guns but […]

After reviewing Federal’s .224 Valkyrie ammunition on our July Fruit Shoot with Freedom Hunters, I wanted to head out to the gun range and see how the ammo would perform at longer distances. I knew the 80.5 grain Gold Medal Berger Hybrid round was designed for competition, and I was interested to see if the […]

When it comes to teaching our kids about firearm safety, where do we begin? Do we take them to the range? Do we let them play with pretend guns? Do we try to sit down and have a conversation with them?  Sponsored by Project ChildSafe Kids are extremely smart; they understand a lot more than […]

It had a reputation. It came with the warning from a friend who said, “Hold onto it.” I had shot its cousin, the Remington Tac-14 – in both 20 and 12 gauge – and knew, or so I thought, how it would feel. But really, I didn’t know how it would feel. This gun, the […]

Walther designed this gun in .45 ACP for personal protection and recreational shooting. It first appeared in October 2015. Having carried the Walther PPQ M2 in .40 caliber for a few years, I knew what I expected from its big cousin in the line of Walther Police Pistol Quick (PPQ) models, which includes .22, 9mm, […]

Realizing that criminal activity peaks during evening hours, especially after dark, it’s important to have the advantage of illumination. We know that law enforcement carries weapon-mounted lights, and with the […]

I honestly can’t remember the first time I met Kristy Titus, and I think that is because I feel like I’ve always known her. We’ve all clicked with someone like that, and there is usually a chemistry and commonality between you that aids in the process. I love that Kristy is the perfect blend of […]

While getting ready to make the long drive for this Wyoming-based shooting trip, I packed all the necessary range personal protective equipment. What I didn’t realize was that I would also need a bowl to catch the large, juicy chunks of fruit that flew near me and fell on me. If only I had known […]

When I first heard about 224 Valkyrie ammunition from Federal, I assumed it was a typo. I was familiar with the .223 caliber, but this was something new. I am happy that I took the time to do my research and use this ammo on the range, because it did not disappoint. Don’t be afraid […]

Something I’ve learned the hard way through competing and hunting is that preparation is extremely important. Whether you’re on the professional sporting clay circuit or a pheasant hunt of a lifetime in Kansas, it’s no fun to reach in your range bag and discover that you’ve forgotten your shotgun chokes or your warm gloves. The […]

Covering the GTM/CZY-03 CCW Leather Duffel is an exciting opportunity because I’ve been longing to sink my teeth into it.
