Girls Guns and Dangerous Games

They’ve come a long ways, metaphorically at least, from designing outdoor fashion clothes for women out of a home garage in Northern California. Jenifer Adams and Norissa Harman had a vision that spawned a successful company, Girls With Guns Clothing. But while the gals remain small-town at heart, choosing to continue their work out of Red Bluff, a quiet hamlet of 14,000 off Interstate 5, 130 miles north of Sacramento, even for these ambitious entrepreneurs, traveling across a continent, an ocean and hunting the wild lands of Africa in front of a TV camera was something altogether different.

Just as the Girls With Guns brand has taken off, Adams and Harman just seem to have found a niche on Universal Huntress TV, a Sportsman Channel series that premiered in December. We see Adams and Harman crisscrossing the African continent (and New Zealand), not only hunting exotic species but also experiencing new cultures and engaging in adventures like skydiving, hot air ballooning and bungee jumping. “We are definitely outside the box,” says Adams, the more adrenaline-charged half of the team.

“You’re going to see about 75 percent hunting and 25 percent will be something exciting, something fun. And the main part is Norissa and I are best friends who started in our garage to design a clothing line. We’ve grown the company so much, we have opportunities to talk a little bit about who we are and where we came from.” The idea for their show came from a world away. Adams and Harman were on their way to the Sacramento International Sportsman Exposition when we caught up with them in January. Ironic, since that was where they met South African Emaneul “Kappie” Kapp.

A YEAR AGO, Kapp, a publisher and outdoor film producer, was walking the aisles at the massive outdoors show and saw the Girls With Guns booth. He had an idea to discuss a possible television show opportunity. Unfortunately, the ladies weren’t there at that time. “I’d played around with the idea of a women hunting show for a while and they sounded like the perfect fit,” Kapp says. “I left my business card at their booth and requested they call me.”

Kapp thought Adams’ go-for-it attitude was reminiscent of himself. Harman, admittedly the “chicken one” of these two BFFs, seemed more like Kapp’s wife, Chantelle, also a member of the production team. “One of the things Kappie told us is he was looking for something a little different,” Adams says. But even Kapp wasn’t sure what to expect when “I got a call from two girly girls from Northern California.” Read the rest of the story here.

Girls With Guns!

Little Annie Oakley was ‘the hip girl with a gun’ of her time. She gained the respect of Kaiser Wilhelm of Germnay, by shooting a cigarette out of his mouth.

Won’t get that today, because:
1. any guy that shows up on a girl with guns show, is there to downplay the girls, and hasn’t the ‘equipment’ for the job.
2. DONCHAKNOWTHATTHEMCIGARETTESAREBADTHINGS!!

A woman i know acquired for herself, a nice little .357Magnum lever carbine. She told me that she had heard that it would eviscerate a coyote at 100 yards with a 125 grain slug. Like the ‘Casablanca’ comment about being there for the water, I reminded her that there are no coyotes in the swamps. She just smiled, and said, ‘i know.’
