Ladies, if you’re ready to trade the yoga mat for a recurve bow and the salad bar for Dutch oven delights, Patoka Lake’s Women’s Wilderness Weekend is calling your name. Kicking off May 15–17 at this stunning Indiana reservoir, this women-only extravaganza (ages 16+) packs a punch with hands-on sessions in archery, kayaking, wilderness survival, Hunting 101, trap shooting, and more. For just $85—with registration snapping shut April 15—it’s an unbeatable gateway to reclaiming those primal skills our grandmothers mastered without a TikTok tutorial. Think of it as summer camp for the modern she-bear: empowering, skill-building, and zero participation trophies required.

What makes this event a stealth win for the 2A community? It’s not just fun and games; it’s a subtle insurgency against the urban bubble that paints firearms training as a boys’ club or worse, a fringe pursuit. Hunting 101 and trap shooting demystify the tools of self-reliance, showing women that marksmanship isn’t about machismo—it’s about confidence in the backcountry where cell service ghosts you. In a culture hell-bent on disarming the fairer sex under the guise of safety, events like this quietly build a generation of proficient shooters who vote with their triggers and their ballots. Patoka Lake isn’t preaching politics; it’s proving them through powder burns and bullseyes.

The implications ripple far beyond the weekend: as more women master these skills, the anti-2A narrative crumbles. Stats already show female gun ownership surging—up 75% in recent years per NSSF data—fueled by exactly this kind of practical empowerment. Grab your spot now, sisters; it’s not just a getaway, it’s frontline training for the self-defense revolution. Who’s in?
