GRAPEVINE, Texas—More than 200 women gathered at Texas Gun Experience, an indoor firing range, to celebrate National Women’s Range Day on March 9, the day after International Women’s Day.

According to the International Women’s Day website, the purpose of the day is to promote a “gender equal world.” Organizers of National Women’s Range Day say they share the same goal.
