Jamie Meyer began her journey into firearms in 2007. Her interest started as a means to become educated on firearm safety, and for her own personal protection. She quickly switched gears after realizing how much fun she was having at the range, and quickly dove into competitive shooting. Since then, she has competed in matches all over the U.S. to include: NRA Precision Pistol, NRA Action Pistol, Steel Challenge, USPSA, Glock Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF), Bowling Pins, and 3 Gun (multi-gun) and was also a member of the Rudy Shooting Team in 2017.

In 2020 Jamie earned the rank of “Master Class Shooter” with the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF)) and is one of only a handful of women to have achieved this rank nationwide. She has also been featured in The American Woman Shooter, FrontSight magazine, RECOIL Concealment Magazine, been a guest on a few podcasts and has published several articles related to firearms over the years.

In 2021 Jamie became a Staff-Instructor at Meadhall Range and does private instruction there as needed. Additionally, she is Co-Chair of the Training Division at the Oklahoma City Gun Club and a Staff-Instructor for Hardwired Tactical Shooting (HiTS) which is a leader in the industry for reality-based training. Her most recent adventure has included organizing a new outdoor Ladies Pistol League that meets twice a month at the Oklahoma City Gun Club and she is the Match Director for the OKC GSSF Red Dirt Shootout. Her recent efforts over the last couple of years have resulted in the highest female participation in GSSF’s 31-year history.

Jamie was on the “Pro Staff Team” as a Firearms Instructor for Shoot Like A Girl from 2014-2022. Shoot Like A Girl is a female owned and operated company whose mission is to grow the number of women who participate in the shooting sports by empowering them with knowledge and confidence. They are able to educate women with the help of many highly accomplished Instructors like Jamie that can provide quality instruction in a fun and safe environment.

Jamie is a RangeMaster certified Instructor, certified through Andy Stanford as a Surefire Master Coach, certified House of Worship Security Team Instructor, certified O.C. Spray/Less than Lethal Tools Instructor, certified Pistol Mounted Optics Instructor, certified USPSA Range Officer, NRA Range Safety Officer, certified NRA Firearms Instructor for Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, Refuse to Be a Victim, CCW Instructor, Diagnostics & Development Instructor certification, Glock Armorer and certified through the State of Oklahoma to teach the Self Defense Act (Conceal/Open Carry) classes. She was also one of the founding members of the “A Girl & A Gun” chapter that first started in Oklahoma in 2012. Additionally, she has trained with many top tier Instructors over the years and feels very blessed to have so many friends and mentors in the industry that she is so passionate about. Her training background includes hundreds of hours of professional instruction on a variety of topics mostly related to self-defense, and competitive shooting. Some of the topics she has focused her personal training on primarily include: personal mindset, defensive handgun, shotgun & carbine for home defense, legal ramifications of deadly force, situational awareness for self-preservation, emergency aid, non-lethal tools, verbal agility and close range encounters, managing unknown contacts and identifying pre-assault indicators. With her extensive background on self-defense combined with her knowledge of the competitive shooting sports this has made her a well-regarded Instructor and an accomplished marksman.

Since 2012, Jamie’s primary focus has been on educating women and she has often been asked to attend as a Guest Instructor by local women’s shooting organizations such as “A Girl & A Gun”, and “The Well Armed Woman”. A few of the topics she has given seminars on have included: Basic Firearm Safety and Handgun Fundamentals; Gun Cleaning 101; Firearm/Holster/Gear Selection for Your Needs; How to Draw and Safely Re-holster Your Firearm; Competitive Shooting Disciplines and What You Need to Know Before Attending Your First Match; Dry-Fire Practice Tips and Situational Awareness. She takes a lot of pride in helping others in her community and works tirelessly to help women learn how to protect themselves.
