The National Rifle Association’s Women on Target Program and the Lemon Grove Rod and Gun Club sponsor Pistol, Rifle, and Shotgun Shooting Clinics in Alpine, CA. These clinics are an introduction to shooting sports and an opportunity to meet other women interested in learning firearms safety and handling. If under 18, please contact us first. 

All equipment, firearms, ammunition eye/ear protection, and instructional material will be provided. Each clinic will introduce and instruct up to 45 women in the safe handling and use of .22 caliber rifles and handguns as well as 12/20-gauge pump shotguns. Larger-caliber centerfire handguns may also be available. Please do not bring your own firearm or ammunition. Each woman will receive one-on-one instruction at each venue by an experienced instructor/mentor. NRA Certified Instructors will provide a safety briefing at each venue before the start of shooting. All venues will be overseen by NRA Certified Range Safety Officers for a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled day. 

Payments are due immediately at the time of registering on this website. The system will time out if you have not paid and you will not be registered. If you don't pay, you are not registered. You may only register one person at a time. If you are signing up for someone else, please enter their information, including their email. There are no refunds nor are walk-ins accepted. If you cancel, we cannot transfer you to another event.

Please arrive at the Lemon Grove Rod and Gun Club between 7:15 a.m. and 7:50 a.m. for check-in and safety equipment. A mandatory safety class begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. at the first venue you are assigned to. This class is required for you to be able to shoot at this clinic, so please be on time. The clinic will end around noon. Wear comfortable tennis shoes and a shirt that covers your arms. Per our S.O.P., open-toe shoes or flip-flops are prohibited. Long pants or jeans (Capris are fine) and please, no shorts. Due to the ejection of hot cases at the handgun portion of the program, no low-cut or V-neck tops. We also recommend a baseball hat or visor to protect your face from the sun. Our club is outside, and you will be walking on dirt and gravel. The gate will be locked at 8 a.m., and no late guests accepted. A reminder email will be sent out 7 days before the event with specific check- in details. 

If attending with friends, we will do our best to try and put you on the same squad. There are no more than 15 per squad. Try to arrive together. 

If you are on the waiting list, we will email you when a spot opens asking if you still want to attend. Please respond to the email ASAP letting us know so we can send you an invoice at that time. Once you pay, we will send you confirmation of your registration. Without payment and a confirmation email, you are not registered. We have had cancellations up until the night before the event. We do our best to go to the next person on the waitlist as soon as we are notified of a cancellation.
