After a 30+ year fear of guns, Lynn Sherwood discerned just 15 years ago that it wasn’t the gun she was afraid of; it was the bad guy behind the gun. Empowered as she worked through her fears, she jumped in to learn everything she could about firearms, personal defense, and competitive shooting, so she could effectively share her passion with shooters from around the world. Lynn now especially enjoys working with children, youth, families and corporate groups to share her passion for the shooting sports, in a safe, educational and FUN manner.
As co-owner and CEO of the Jackson Hole Shooting Experience, Lynn is also a Chief Range Safety Officer and NRA Training Counselor, holding Instructor certifications in NRA Basic Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun, Personal Protection Inside the Home, Personal Protection Outside the Home, and Refuse to be a Victim. Formerly an ER and med-surg nurse, she also keeps our company on track to coordinate trauma response courses for our instructors.
She founded High Caliber Women (TM) in 2014 to help empower other women to take charge of life and personal defense with a comprehensive approach in mind, body and attitude! Lynn has competed in national level USPSA matches, and has volunteered at the NRA’s Whittington Center in NM as an instructor at their annual Women’s Wilderness Escape. A personal passion of Lynn’s is to help families talk about end-of-life preferences, reconcile estranged relationships, and perhaps find some peace in the dying process! Make sure to check her TEDx talk, “Happier Endings – Three Ways to Design Your Dying.”
As a serial entrepreneur, Lynn has a background in business ownership, management and implementation, and event coordination. With global vision, she’s helped take JH Shooting Experience to the next level of Luxury Entertainment Shooting Experiences. She is extremely detail oriented; we tease her about her love of dotting ‘i’s and crossing ‘t’s but appreciate her managing our systems and details, with excellence. She brings knowledge, honesty, and hands-on/boots-on-the-ground energy to our company – and for you, our valued guests!
