Registration is now open for the 2026 NAAGA Empowerment Summit & Marksmanship Challenge Weekend, taking place October 9–11, 2026, in Metro Atlanta, Georgia.
This three-day experience will bring NAAGA members from across the country together for practical training, leadership development, marksmanship, preparedness, networking, and fellowship.
Register for the Summit
Several Summit activities have limited capacity, so early registration is strongly encouraged.
To register, enter the same email address associated with your active NAAGA membership account. After your membership is verified, you can select your Summit ticket and any available add-on activities.
More Than an Event—It’s an Experience
Whether you are a newer member, chapter leader, experienced shooter, instructor, competitor, or longtime supporter, the Summit offers opportunities to strengthen your skills and build meaningful connections within the NAAGA community.
Throughout the weekend, attendees can look forward to:
Firearms education and hands-on training
Personal protection and preparedness sessions
Leadership and chapter-development opportunities
The NAAGA Action Pistol Competition
The Long-Range Rifle Shooting Competition
Queens of Defense programming and Range Day
Educational sessions led by experienced instructors and subject-matter experts
Opportunities to meet NAAGA national leadership
Vendors, networking, fellowship, and community building
Some training sessions, competitions, and special activities require separate registration and have limited availability.
Train With Purpose
The Summit is designed to help members become more knowledgeable, confident, capable, and self-reliant.
Attendees will have opportunities to learn from experienced professionals, strengthen practical skills, and explore topics that support personal safety, responsible firearms ownership, leadership, communications, and preparedness.
You do not have to be an advanced shooter to benefit. The weekend includes experiences for members at different skill levels, from those continuing their firearms education to experienced competitors ready to test themselves on the range.
Compete and Challenge Yourself
Members looking for a challenge can register for the NAAGA Action Pistol Competition or the Long-Range Rifle Shooting Competition.
These events provide an opportunity to put your training into action, gain competition experience, and enjoy friendly competition alongside fellow NAAGA members. Capacity is limited, so interested participants should reserve their spots early.
Connect With the NAAGA Community
The Summit is also about the people.
It is a chance to meet members from across the country, exchange ideas with chapter leaders, connect with instructors and industry professionals, and strengthen relationships that extend well beyond the weekend.
The conversations between sessions, introductions made on the range, and friendships built throughout the Summit are all part of what makes this experience valuable.
Queens of Defense
Queens of Defense attendees can participate in programming created to support women through education, training, connection, and sisterhood.
The weekend will include a dedicated Queens of Defense Range Day, opportunities to learn from women instructors and subject-matter experts, and time to connect with Queens from across the country.
After months of learning together virtually, the Summit provides the opportunity to train and grow together in person.
Travel and Host Hotel Information
Attendees are encouraged to begin planning their travel to Metro Atlanta.
Information about the official Summit host hotel, discounted room block, booking instructions, and reservation access will be shared after Summit registration is completed. This helps keep the limited room block reserved exclusively for registered attendees.
Please watch your email after registering for additional travel information.
Volunteers and Vendors Wanted
We are currently seeking volunteers and vendors to help make the 2026 Summit a successful experience.
Volunteer opportunities are separate from general attendee registration and may include event support, registration assistance, hospitality, range operations, and other Summit needs.
Businesses and organizations interested in connecting with NAAGA members are also invited to inquire about vendor opportunities.
For information about volunteering, vending, sponsorships, registration, training, competitions, or other Summit questions, contact the Summit Committee at Summit.2026@naaga.co.
