WE LOVE THE OUTDOORS! We have hikes, scavenger hunts, private tours, and so much more. 

Imagine escaping the hustle and bustle of NYC and exploring unknown hike paths, roasting marshmallows at a bonfire, or just taking a wine tour upstate. 

We have been doing this for over 17 years and we are excited to have you! 

Don't worry about coming out alone, that's what many do... and you’ll walk away with new friends. You will always have a host to greet you and introduce you to other members of our events.

Are you a woman who has always wanted to learn to handle and shoot firearms? Are you an experienced shooter who wants to brush up or sharpen your skills? Then the New York City Women's Shooting Sports League is for you! NYC-WSSL is committed to providing a safe, educational and enjoyable environment for all levels of female shooters in the shooting sports. We typically meet the third Monday of every month from 7-9pm at the Westside Rifle and Pistol Range at 20 West 20th Street in Manhattan for our monthly .22 Rifle Shoot. We also take special trips each year to explore other aspects of the shooting sports, including shooting trap and skeet, higher powered rifles, and archery. You can also check us out at www.nycwssl.org for more details. We love beginners! Hope to see you at the range!

THIS MEETUP WAS RECENTLY COVERED IN INC. MAGAZINE

(now covering both Brooklyn and Manhattan)

From the original founder, Marc:

"I work in the startup/tech world and no one will argue that networking is important. However, I realized that all of the startup meetups fall into one of three categories: 1 - So early in the morning that no one is awake enough to have a stimulating conversation 2 - At a dark bar with a loud DJ making it impossible to actually talk 3 - Being given junk to eat and drink at someone's office.

I'd like to take the valuable parts of these meetups but change the setup entirely. I used to meet and connect with people really strongly from activities at a gym, or playing a team sport. So let's try that! I'd like to meet a bunch of people working on cool projects/companies, and play a fun and not overly-competitive sport together. While the intros we make at the beginning will spark interest in each other, it'll be the game play that actually create some kinships and a sense of communicating and working together. Not to mention we'd be getting exercise as opposed to the folks just meeting at the bar! I'm open to suggestions, but off the top of my head I think it'd be fun to meet once a week, and rotate what sport we play each week. Maybe to start, Ultimate Frisbee and Soccer? Let's try this!"
