Ladies, this one’s for you. Whether you’ve never held a firearm in your life or you’re looking to level up your skills with like-minded women, Women Only Weekend at River Valley Arms & Ammo (RVAA) is your opportunity to step into your power, learn in a supportive space, and have a blast while doing it.
And if you’re reading this and thinking of a sister, girlfriend, mom, wife, daughter, or friend who’s been curious about firearms but unsure where to start? This is the event they’ve been waiting for. So send them this post and tell them you’ve got their back.
Why Women Only Weekend?
At RVAA, we believe that confidence with firearms starts with education, comfort, and community. That’s why we created a weekend just for women, where instruction is tailored to women by female instructors and guides who’ve been exactly where you are.
Our Women Only Courses are designed to build confidence step-by-step — no pressure, no intimidation, just real, relatable learning. Whether you’re exploring personal protection, getting your permit to carry, or simply want to know how to safely handle and store a firearm, this weekend has something for you.
What You Can Expect
Beginner-Friendly Environment
No experience? No problem. We start with the basics, covering safety, handling, mindset, and real-world scenarios. It’s the perfect foundation to build confidence and competence.
Female Instructors Who Get It
Our team knows what it’s like to be a woman in a traditionally male-dominated space. They’re here to teach, guide, and empower — not to talk down or overwhelm.
Hands-On Practice
Classroom time is important, but nothing builds confidence like time on the range. You’ll get hands-on, practical experience in a low-pressure, encouraging environment.
Meaningful Connection
This weekend isn’t just about learning firearms. It’s about finding your people — other women who are here to take ownership of their safety, learn something new, and walk away stronger.
