I researched organizations that are found on our Sportsmen's Organizations Links page to compare where we stack up to other Christian sportsmen's organizations on our membership focus. I'm sure that there are other Christian sportsmen's organizations out there but these are the 14 that I know about that had information on their websites about their membership focus. Out of these 14, four focus exclusively on men and 10 focus on both men and women. As hunting clubs tend to be male dominated and tend to exclude women it was surprising to see that the majority of these Christian Sportsmen’s Organizations focus on both sexes. The majority of these organizations are not "men only."
