Jeanine Gill, President and Owner of the Osseo Gun Club & Pro Shop, in Osseo, MN, a Minneapolis suburb, has won the Woman Pioneer of the Year award from National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Minnesota for achievement in a predominately male-orientated industry.
The award presentation was scheduled for a gala event on Dec. 7.
At age 50, Gill changed careers to work for a manufacturer of military and commercial firearm ranges where she took her first firearm training courses. In 2014, Jeanine and her husband, Chris, partnered to open a family friendly public gun range.
The range offers ladies only classes, with Tuesday evenings set aside for women’s classes and range time as well as at Friday evening “date night,” with range time for two and refreshments.
