About Julianna Crowder
Julianna Crowder is the founder of A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League (AG & AG), one of the largest women’s firearms training and shooting organizations in the United States. A former dancer and dance teacher, she became seriously involved in shooting after taking a Texas concealed handgun license class, then trained with nationally known instructors including Massad Ayoob, Tom Givens and Kathy Jackson before becoming an instructor herself. The idea for the league grew out of Austin-area networking events, where she began hosting a “girls night out” at a local range for women interested in shooting.
The first AG & AG Girls Night Out was held on February 28, 2011, in Leander, Texas. Working with Robyn Sandoval, Crowder grew the league quickly: by 2014 it had 72 chapters in 25 states, and it later reported members in all 50 states and recurring events at hundreds of ranges. AG & AG’s members shot as the first all-ladies squad at the IDPA National Championships in 2014. Crowder stepped down as president on June 30, 2022, and remains the organization’s founder. The league, headquartered in Round Rock, Texas, lists more than 300 locations.
