Kelly Baddeley, 24, who had travelled from Stratford-upon-Avon, said: "I found out about it on Twitter and thought it would be fun and a bit different.
"It was brilliant fun and making it women only was a fantastic way to make it more accessible."
Daniel Martin, from the club, said: "Anything we can do to encourage ladies into shooting is good."
The event was organised by Victoria Knowles-Lacks, who runs the Chelsea Bun Club, hosting women only shooting events across the UK.
She said: "It combines my two favourite things, shooting and cake and has really taken off. Last year we had 1,000 women coming through our events."
