Iron Rose™ Women’s Shooting Club

IT’S FINALLY HERE!  A women’s only shooting club like no other; The IRON ROSE WOMEN’S SHOOTING CLUB at MANCHESTER FIRING LINE.  In 2016, TerryAnn Bowen, the female co-owner of Manchester Firing Line, earned the moniker the “Iron Rose” from her team of professionals due to her unique blend of kindness and assertiveness as a Lady Boss.

She redefined the gun range by bringing the perspective of a brand-new female shooter and has spent years assisting countless women embarking on their journey as new gun owners, understanding their unique needs. TerryAnn realized the absence of a women’s gun club that truly resonated with her vision to bring like-minded women together for a blend of shooting, socializing, and learning. Her background, originally devoid of prior firearm experience, fueled her determination to create a space where women could find guidance and camaraderie in a supportive environment. And so, the Iron Rose Women’s Shooting Club was born—a community designed exclusively for women. Its mission? To foster social connections, empower growth, and enhance shooting skills in a supportive and non-intimidating environment. TerryAnn’s passion for safety and firearm education infuses every aspect of the club, ensuring that women feel comfortable as they learn and evolve within the sport.

Here’s what the Iron Rose Women’s Shooting Club offers:

• Training Excellence: A balanced blend of training sessions and friendly competition pushes members to excel on the shooting range. See Course Nights below for more info.

• Meaningful Camaraderie: Engaging activities, both on and off the range, create bonds among fellow female shooters.  See Club Nights below for more info.

• Exclusive Insights: TerryAnn hosts a FREE Women’s Only Seminar each month, sharing valuable knowledge not found elsewhere. See Women's Seminar below for more info.

Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or a newcomer, the Iron Rose Women’s Shooting Club invites you to attend our empowering community. GO WHERE YOU GROW!
