On September 6, 2025, the Oklahoma City Gun Club hosted its 26th annual Women On Target Instructional Shooting Clinic, drawing 400 women from across the country to Arcadia, Oklahoma. The event, spearheaded by club president Suzi Rouse and a team of dedicated volunteers, has become a national benchmark for womens shooting clinics, seamlessly combining education, marksmanship, and a sense of community at a scale that remains rare in the firearms world. The clinics origin dates back to 1999 when Rouse, then a club member, proposed forming a Womens Division and made the NRAs new Women On Target program its cornerstone. The first year saw 57 participants, but the clinic quickly grew, topping 600 attendees by 2013 before being capped at 400 to maintain quality and safety. Today, it is an event that attracts women from states as far away as Florida, Texas, and California, with some families bringing three generations to the firing line. The Oklahoma City Gun Clubs size and infrastructure600 acres, 2,700 members, and 20 divisionsenable it to support such a large event, but facilities alone arent what make it special. The clubs culture of service and community engagement drives its success. Volunteers manage everything from parking logistics to refreshments and first aid. Local sheriffs deputies and police officers instruct on the pistol ranges, and high-profile figures like Anne Mauro, shotgun coach at the University of Maryland and 2025 NRA Industry Woman of the Year, travel annually to participate. Even the targets are chosen with caresteel for uninterrupted range flowallowing for efficient cycling of hundreds of shooters. Participants rotate through four stations: pistol, shotgun, silhouette, and AR-15, with each station offering professional instruction, encouragement, firearms, and unlimited ammunition provided by sponsors like Glock and B&P. For a modest entrance fee, participants receive a T-shirt, raffle tickets, lunch, a gift bag, and the use of all firearms and ammo. For many, it is their first time handling a firearm, while others come back annually to sharpen their skills and try new disciplines. The clinic fosters an inclusive, encouraging environment where women can gain confidence and competence in a traditionally male-dominated space. The event has become more than just a shooting clinicit is a social tradition and a community gathering. Mothers bring daughters, grandmothers bring granddaughters, and friendships are forged on the firing line. For some attendees, the event has inspired deeper involvement in competitive shooting or volunteer work, helping to grow the presence of women in shooting sports and leadership positions within gun clubs nationwide. Suzi Rouses leadership has been pivotal. As the current president of the Oklahoma City Gun Club, she continues to refine the program, ensuring that the event runs smoothly and remains welcoming. Her efforts, combined with those of her volunteers and sponsors, have turned what began as a modest idea into a model program emulated across the country.
