WE'RE IN!
A Girl & A Gun has been selected as a Grant Recipient, and this September, we're calling on our entire community to help us make some noise.
The goal: 10 MILLION training shots in 30 days.
Every live-fire round. Every dry-fire rep. Every practice session. Every single one counts.
For every training shot logged during September, sponsors will contribute one penny toward grants supporting organizations like A Girl & A Gun.
Have a Mantis training system? Your shots can be tracked automatically.
Don't have Mantis? You're still in. Log your live-fire and dry-fire sessions manually at TrainTheWorld.org.
Then share your training, tag A Girl & A Gun, and use so we can see what you're doing and cheer you on.
There are thousands of women in this community. Imagine what happens when we ALL start counting.
Let's see how many of those 10 million shots A Girl & A Gun can put on the board!!!

Have you ever thought about how you would attack … you? Where are you most vulnerable? In the house, with family, at work, in your car, or with multiple distractions outside the home? Have you thought about what you would do if you were targeted by a criminal when you were alone or … if you were surrounded by loved ones? My guess is that they may be different answers.
The Complete Combatant’s Shelley Hill asks us to consider stretching our plans of responses to include “what if?” Find out how to employ this tactic to train your brain for self-defense scenarios that might happen in your world.
