Prior to the implementation of Women in the Outdoors, NWTF supported female-focused outdoor skills training programs through various organizations. Seeing the demand for such activities for women, the NWTF expanded its outreach efforts to include a formal Women in the Outdoors program in 1998.

 In the past decade, the number of women owning firearms and participating in target shooting and hunting has soared. According to Southwick Associates, women now make up more than a quarter of all anglers and represent the fastest growing segment within the hunting and shooting communities.

Women who seek outdoor adventures or more quality time with family and friends will find that connection through hundreds of Women in the Outdoors events hosted by NWTF chapters around the United States. Events are affordable and offer outdoor activities such as archery, shotgunning and various introduction to hunting classes. Women in the Outdoor members receive a one year subscription to Turkey Country magazine. The Women in the Outdoors Program provides an opportunity for all women fourteen years old and up to participate in outdoor activities like shooting, fishing, hunting and much more. This program provides an opportunity for women to participate in outdoor activities that they haven’t done in years or never had the opportunity.

Our Chapter has one Women in the Outdoors Event each year.
