This year’s program in Branson, will host not only chapter leadership, but members, the public and some of the shooting industry’s top instructors and brands. YOU won’t want to miss.
May 2023 – BRANSON, MO
Names like Lena Miculek, Mike Seeklander, Miyo Strong of SmartDefense, Terry Vaughan, Nikki Burgett, Cheryl Todd of Gun Freedom Radio, Karen Butler of Shoot Like a Girl, Shelley Hill of The Complete Combatant, Vicki Farnam, and more, are all bringing some of the best techniques and education to one spot this August. Covering topics like off-body carrying, staying calm in a crisis, safeguarding life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, self-defense, developing a personal response plan for an active threat and so much more, the National Conference & Leadership Summit is personal protection education for women at its best.
Included in this action-packed weekend, is hands-on shopping with industry brands like Ruger, Glock, Crossbreed Holsters, Gunsite Academy, Laser Ammo, ErgoGrips, Walkers, MantisX, Premier Body Armor, OTIS Smart Gun Care, CoolFire Trainers, Taurus USA, and many more. Topping it all off, is plenty of social networking, add-on pre and post-conference workshops and fun! Where else can you get this much content and connection in one place? No where.
Previously reserved for chapter leadership, the Armed Women of America is opening its annual conference doors to all members, skill levels and interests. Beyond that, in recognizing the incredible growth in women shooters, they are opening weekend EXPO to general public. All of this offered for about the same price as a couple of evenings out and hundreds less than a single ticket to a Taylor Swift concert.
If you’ve not heard of the Armed Women of America (AWA), they are a non-profit organization with chapters across the country where women gather regularly to learn and grow in their abilities to handle firearms safely, responsibly, and competently. They offer a welcoming, non-intimidating place for women to learn more about topics including firearms safety, personal protection, concealed carry, mindset and so much more. The meetings offer classroom and range time, all under the guidance of certified women instructors who volunteer their time. Their vision is that women have the skills, mindset, and training to defend themselves and those in their care.
