The Doily Gang – A New Chapter

As of April 2025, The Doily Gang™ has entered a new phase. While we are no longer hosting official clinics under the Doily Gang name, the spirit of what was created — women empowering women through shooting — lives on.

I encourage all the ladies out there to keep organizing and teaching at their clubs. If you’d like student and instructor agendas, guidance on how to run a clinic, or get ideas to help your ladies’ event run smoothly, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would be more than happy to assist.

A heartfelt thank you to all of the incredible instructors who have volunteered their time and talent over the years. Your generosity, knowledge, and encouragement helped build something truly special.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.

About the Doily Gang

The Doily Gang™ was a not-for-profit group with the primary objective being to support and encourage other lady shooters in the game of Cowboy/girl Action Shooting. It’s about cowgirls helping cowgirls (no matter the age or skill level).

Ladies-only clinics were held at various Cowboy Action Shooting events. These clinics were designed to help women improve their shooting skills, gain confidence, and enjoy the sport even more. Whether a shooter was brand new or a seasoned shooter looking to refine their technique, the experienced instructors provided guidance in a fun and supportive environment.

The clinics focused on key aspects of the game, including transitions, movement, mental strategies, and stage breakdowns. If you’re interested in where the clinics were held, who the instructors were, or other details, please visit the Clinics page.

Membership Requirements (the Doily Gang Way)

The only membership requirement the Doily Gang still has is to follow the cowgirl-way.

GIVE 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, and techniques of cowboy action shooting

• Promote opportunities available to ladies (especially new shooters) that might help them overcome any anxieties about shooting

• Be a dedicated participant/helper at all shooting events

• Celebrate achievements of lady shooters

• Encourage friendly competition

In addition to encouraging shooters, the Doily Gang supported efforts to increase contributions to the SASS® Scholarship Fund as well as other charitable organizations.

How the Doily Gang was Started

In January 2012, Shamrock Sadie, a dedicated Cowboy Action Shooter since 2007, recognized the need for a group that would teach, support, and encourage lady shooters. The mission was also to increase the number of women shooters and to build supportive and friendly competition amongst all skill levels of shooters to strengthen the cowgirl way. Thus, the Doily Gang was born, with Attitude and Heart!
