WOMEN OWN A SHOTGUN LICENCE IN ENGLAND AND WALES

WOW!!

That is a lot of lovely ladies who enjoy shooting right now! Here @ Hoot2Shoot we believe that although women represent a tiny 6% of shotgun licence holders they make a HUGE impact in shooting communities.

That’s why we started Hoot2Shoot, a dedicated group just for women shooters of all disciplines and abilities.

Browse the site to read about ladies shooting from our guest bloggers (we lurve our Mother & Daughter blog!) and find ladies only shooting clubs and schools.

We have lots of exiting collaborations planned to bring you the best offers & experiences so keep your eyes peeled and follow Hoot2Shoot on Instagram and Facebook!

It’s now quite a family affair

by hoot2shoot | 27th June 2020 | Sally | 0 Comments

Shooting was always something that my Dad would pop off to do himself, but when I was older he used to take me out to shoot rotten goose eggs off the fence posts. This was great fun; if you got the egg right in the centre, the yolk would go sky high. This was as far...

Shooting is a great sport to get in to!

by hoot2shoot | 23rd February 2020 | Isabella | 0 Comments

Boyfriend introduced me to shooting

by hoot2shoot | 7th September 2019 | Karen Norton | 0 Comments

My at the time boyfriend (now husband) introduced me to shooting around 2002. We used to go out at weekends to local grounds and shoot. Nothing competitive - more for fun and a hobby we could do together. Then one Christmas he bought me a 20 bore Browning shotgun as a...

I never really had an interest in shooting

by hoot2shoot | 4th September 2019 | Leah | 0 Comments

Leah I never really had an interest in shooting (let alone heard of the sport) until my Dad asked me if I wanted to go along with him to my local ground, Park Farm Shooting Ground. I had never been so scared! I was surrounded by lots of strangers using guns (bear in...

How I began shooting

by hoot2shoot | 16th August 2019 | Kayleigh | 0 Comments

How I began shooting

by hoot2shoot | 14th August 2019 | Leanne | 0 Comments

I grew up surrounded by trophies on the living room unit that my Dad was forever bringing home from shooting skeet at our local shooting ground so it’s always been a sport that’s quite close to me. It wasn’t until last year that I purchased a gun with my sister and we...

Some of the boys were making fun of me

by hoot2shoot | 14th August 2019 | Lizzie | 0 Comments

Having grown up beating on a local farm shoot, 2017 was going to be my first beaters shoot, because some of the boys were making fun of me being a girl and going to shoot, I asked for a few lessons to prepare me. This was where my clay shooting journey started. I had...

I used to fancy myself as a bit of an Annie Oakley

by hoot2shoot | 5th August 2019 | Angela | 0 Comments

I used to fancy myself as a bit of an Annie Oakley growing up on the farm, taking pot shots at tin cans & targets, but never graduated to a shotgun. An ex-partner used to shoot & I was always a ‘hanger-on’ so decided to do some lessons & thoroughly enjoyed...
