First Range Day Confidence Checklist
What to know, wear, bring, and ask before your first range visit. Walk in confident. Walk out proud.
Know
Before you go
- Pick a women-friendly gun range — call ahead and ask about beginner support.
- Confirm rentals, ammunition, eye + ear protection, and instructor availability.
- Bring a valid ID. Some gun ranges require a brief safety video on arrival.
- Eat something. Hydrate. Don't go anxious and empty.
Wear
Dress for the gun range
- Closed-toe shoes — no sandals, no open tops on shirts.
- Higher neckline + sleeves; hot brass is a real thing.
- Hair up and out of your face. Hat optional.
- Pink Ranger energy — look like you belong, because you do.
Bring
Pack list
- Eye protection (Z87+) and ear protection (electronic if possible).
- Water and a snack.
- Notebook or notes app — you'll want to remember what your instructor says.
- A friend or your Goddess Network sister, if you can.
Ask
Questions for staff or instructor
- What are the four universal firearms safety rules at this gun range?
- What's the line / cease-fire protocol here?
- Can I get a 1:1 intro before going to the line?
- What's the policy on photos and recording?
After
Walk out proud
- Wash hands and face before eating; lead hygiene matters.
- Write down 1 win and 1 thing to work on.
- Don't compare your day 1 to anyone's year 5.
- Tell us how it went —
This checklist is general orientation only. Always follow the rules of the specific gun range and the directions of qualified instructors. See safety doctrine.
