HerUpland Quail Camp
Brandy, Blythe, and Ashley go an adventure of a lifetime. Empowering women to obtain their upland goals and get out of their comfort zone.
At HerUpland’s Quail Skills Camp, women from across the country gather in the Arizona desert to build confidence and skills for public land upland hunting. Participants receive hands-on shotgun instruction, OnX navigation training, first-aid education, conservation guidance, and mentorship from experienced female instructors.
Rooted in ethical hunting and a conservation-first mindset, this all-women camp is about empowerment over perfection — and every woman leaves stronger than she arrived.
Gun Fit & Gear for Women
Brandy and Podcast Host Julia Stallings talk all things shotguns.
Recoil management and proper gun fit are essential for a comfortable, successful shooting experience. Brandy highlights that poor gun fit is one of the biggest barriers for women and youth, as a properly fitted shotgun reduces felt recoil, improves comfort, and builds confidence. She emphasizes investing in quality equipment suited to your body and learning correct gun mounting techniques to minimize discomfort.
To transition from clays to hunting, she recommends practicing on skeet stations 3, 4, and 5 to mirror real hunting angles, building stamina through consistent practice, and ensuring your gun remains well-maintained and properly fitted as seasons or body changes occur.
When selecting equipment, prioritize function over marketing, avoid the “pink tax,” and consider beginner-friendly semi-automatics like the Beretta A400 Ultima for manageable recoil. Recoil-reducing accessories, such as Falcon Strike pads, can also improve comfort for new shooters and youth.
