Welcome to the dog days of summer! Hope you all have had a fantastic season with lots of adventures. The end of summer is nearing and it’s time to gather the shotguns and get the gals together for the next round of Sporting Clays.

The Blue Ridge Chapter of G.R.I.T.S will be hosting our monthly shoot at Biltmore Sporting Clays Club in Asheville on Sunday, Aug. 18th at 12:45pm (Shoot starts at 1pm). If you find yourself in the area, please join us for an afternoon of fun and camaraderie while busting some clays.

RSVP by emailing blueridgegrits@gmail.com. It’s nice to know who’s coming!

Come on your own or bring friends! They’ll be plenty of gals to shoot with. This event is open to all ladies with previous shooting experience. If you are new to shotgun shooting and want to give it a try, we do ask that you take a few lessons on your own before you join us. We are happy to help you find an instructor that can work with you and your schedule!

For those that are new to G.R.I.T.S , please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Our mission: The GRITS are an amazing group of women from all walks of life who have at least one thing in common- a passion for shooting sports. Our membership is diverse. We range from younger gals to ladies, mothers and grandmother’s, cool chicks and crack shots, complete novices and pretty much everyone in between. We are women who are all empowered by membership in a club that promotes the shotgun sports and yet is tightly bound by friendships, support and camaraderie. We could not ever aptly describe the shooting fun with these women, it must be experienced! Each chapter hosts a safe and encouraging place for beginners to learn as well as a more challenging environment for experienced shooters. If any of the above sounds intriguing, WE WANT YOU! Other than the obvious, that is being a woman, smiles, good cheer and fun loving are the only requirements to join.
