The Covert Girls (with a silent t….of course) is a girl’s only shooting club for women who shoot or want to learn how to shoot.
Whether you have never picked up a gun before or your father taught you to clean his Purdey before you could walk, The Covert Girls events are fun and specially tailored to the discerning woman.
Anyone can join and gain confidence shooting with like-minded girls before inviting the men to play too. If you have always wanted to break into a traditionally male-dominated sport in a relaxed manner and enjoy events with a feminine touch then this is the club for you.
Events have included dinners in private member’s clubs with guest speakers, game shoots on exclusive estates with instructors provided for the less experienced to lunch and a shoot at a top London shooting school, followed by champagne and shopping at exclusive London gun dealers and shooting outfitters. We like to be spoilt.

Testimonials
Despite having wonderful memories of accompanying my Father on his shooting parties in France, I would not have expected to ever find the boldness to try it for myself. Shooting comes across as quite a male oriented and exclusive sport and it takes a very confident and talented woman to get involved! Claire has found the perfect way to introduce women to this wonderful and entertaining pastime; her Covert Girls’ events are all of fun, instructive, sociable and glamorous at the same time. Whether one is an experienced shoot, or a total beginner like me, everybody is helpful, lovely and supportive, so that there is never any awkwardness even after missing the clay for the fifth time in a row! In short, it’s a great place to meet new friends, spend a relaxing afternoon in beautiful surroundings, learn more about the joys of shooting and finish a perfect day around a glass of champagne. I am looking forward to more Covert Girls afternoons, and perhaps, in a couple of months time, I might even feel confident enough to join the rest of the more experienced shoots!

Why I love the Covert Girls.... the girls are gorgeous, and great fun to be around, the banter and laughter has given me deeper laugh lines. The Covert Girls club has also got me back into shooting after a number of years absence and I love being out in the fields again having time to look around me and watch the dogs; and then there’s also the delicious lunches to end the day....
Just a few reasons.

Well for me the days are a great chance to spend time with fantastic women who love shooting as much as I do. The days are so much fun and it's great to do some shooting for fun rather than the serious side that I am involved in.....
