The Doily Gang

Empowering Cowgirls in Cowboy Action Shooting — Because Skills, Confidence, and Camaraderie Matter

Since 2012, The Doily Gang™ has helped women build confidence, sharpen shooting skills, and grow lifelong friendships — all while celebrating the spirit of the Old West.

The Doily Gang is more than a club — it’s a community!

As a NOT-FOR-PROFIT, volunteer-driven organization, we are cowgirls helping cowgirls, committed to mentorship, education, and skill-building in Cowboy Action Shooting™ (CAS) for women of every experience level.

Ladies-only clinics are held at various Cowboy Action Shooting™ events throughout the year.  These clinics are designed to help women improve their shooting skills, gain confidence, learn new techniques, and enjoy the sport even more.  Whether a shooter is brand new or a seasoned competitor looking to refine her technique, our experienced instructors create a fun, supportive, and encouraging environment.

Clinic instruction focuses on core aspects of the sport, including:

• Transitions
• Movement
• Mental strategies
• Stage breakdowns

The Doily Gang Way since 2012

It’s about GIVING BACK:

• Encourage ladies, regardless of their level or style of shooting

• Encourage the development of women’s knowledge and skills of cowboy action shooting

• Bring awareness of various shooting styles, equipment options, and techniques of cowboy action shooting

• Promote opportunities available to ladies (especially new shooters) to overcome any anxieties or challenges in the sport

• Be a dedicated participant/helper at all shooting events

• Celebrate achievements of lady shooters

• Above all, encourage friendly competition

How the Doily Gang was Started

The Doily Gang was founded in 2012 by Shamrock Sadie, a dedicated Cowboy Action Shooter since 2007.  She recognized the need for a supportive group focused on teaching, mentoring, and encouraging lady shooters.  Her mission was to increase the number of women in the sport and to build friendly supportive competition among women of all skill levels.

With Attitude and Heart the Doily Gang was born!  

As of October 2025, we are excited to step into a new chapter under fresh leadership — Thin Mint, Tam Bam, and Shamrock Sadie. Together, we are reigniting The Doily Gang with renewed purpose, expanded mentorship, and a commitment to long-term growth and sustainability.

Join Thin Mint, Tam Bam, Shamrock Sadie, and our network of mentors at clinics, events, and community meetups across the CAS world.

The Doily Gang is back — and we can’t wait to see you at a clinic!
