North Mountain Outfitter and Virginia Shooting Sports have created the ultimate in cowgirl adventures! Join us for a clay-busting, trail-riding excursion that will combine the very best of shooting, horses, fishing, and food. Kate and Dwight welcome you to the ranch and have planned a tremendous getaway, complete with all the fixins’.

Cowgirls will arrive beginning at 4pm. Enjoy leisurely strolls around the bucolic mountain ranch or choose to relax on the expansive veranda of the bunkhouse, fish the pond, simmer your stress away in the hot tub or watch the horses grazing peacefully in the paddocks.

Monday morning awake to the heavenly smell of breakfast, which will be served beginning at 7.30am so all riders may be in the barn soon after to saddle up. After leaving the barn with our new 4-legged friends, we will wind our way through the mountainside and over the ridge into Shenandale Gun Club. Kate will be working with you on proper fundamentals for the clay course and the hunt field and will have you busting birds within the first few shells! Thanks to Syren, Caesar Guerini and Fabarm, you will be sharpening your skills on the very finest Italian shotguns in the industry. All gun hire, shells, clays, ears and instruction are included.

Tuesday morning, all cowgirls will be served a leisurely continental breakfast while they make ready to depart and offer one more peppermint and a kiss good-bye to their favorite horses. This trip will be a phenomenal memory-maker and bring together like-minded women who love the outdoors, shooting sports and spending time in the saddle. No experience is necessary for any activities, just an open-mind and a willingness to learn and enjoy!
