Our Story
Sassy Gear for Serious Defenders
What happens when a software engineer, a restaurant entrepreneur, and a creative handywoman walk onto a shooting range?
They discover they aren't alone.
Like millions of women across America, we found ourselves drawn to shooting sports, self-defense, competition, and the pursuit of confidence through preparedness. We came from different backgrounds, different careers, and different life experiences, but we all noticed the same thing: women were showing up in record numbers, yet the industry wasn't always showing up for us.
Too often, the merchandise available to women shooters felt like an afterthought. It was either designed for men and resized for women, overly tactical with no personality, or covered in clichés that failed to reflect who we really are. We wanted apparel and products that represented the women we knew—strong, capable, independent women with a sense of humor, a sense of style, and a passion for protecting what matters most.
So we decided to create it ourselves.Our company was founded by three women who believe that personal responsibility, self-reliance, and confidence are worth celebrating.
Misty discovered shooting sports in 2025 and immediately immersed herself in competition, training, and mentoring other women entering the community. Cathy transformed a growing interest in firearms into a passion for competition and advocacy, bringing decades of entrepreneurial experience and leadership to the brand. Brooke, a lifelong firearms enthusiast and creative spirit, brought her passion for freedom, self-expression, and individual rights to the mission.
Together, we created a brand for women who refuse to choose between strength and style.
Our products are designed for the women who train, compete, carry, coach, advocate, and inspire. The women who spend weekends at matches, attend training classes, support constitutional freedoms, and encourage others to step outside their comfort zones. The women who understand that preparedness isn't about fear—it's about confidence.
More importantly, we wanted to build more than a brand.
We wanted to create a community.
A place where first-time firearm owners feel welcomed. Where experienced competitors feel represented. Where women can celebrate their accomplishments, share their stories, and connect with others who understand their journey.
Whether you're stepping onto the range for the first time, competing for a championship, advocating for your rights, or simply looking for merchandise that finally speaks your language, you're in the right place.
This isn't just apparel.
It's a statement.
A reminder that women belong in every part of the firearms community. That confidence can be learned. That strength comes in many forms. And that protecting yourself, your family, and your freedoms should never require you to hide who you are.
