### Headquarters

Newhall, California

Tammy Doyle, founded Tactical Goddess in 2011. Tactical Goddess is a women’s clothing and tactical accessories designer which Doyle created to fill the gap of female oriented tactical gear and clothing. Despite some early success, Tactical Goddess’s brand had waned in the following years due to not attracting enough young female shooters. Tammy Doyle commented: "Finding women to model our clothing was easy enough, but they were models and just didn’t represent us or what makes us special. We just couldn’t seem to find that perfect balance; a woman who was capable of both showing her skills in the shooting field, and her sense of style and character while doing it. Then I met Margaret and she had it all; she’s absolutely stunning with an adorably fiery personality. She has her own unique style with the perfect blend of elegance and edge, she’s highly intelligent, and she shows the guys who’s boss without having to sacrifice her style to be taken seriously. She is the embodiment of Tactical Goddess!". Tactical Goddess’s sales skyrocketed after it became the official sponsor for Sentinel Blue team member Margaret Marks and eventually became the official sponsor for the Sentinel Blue Women’s Team in 2022. Margaret Marks went on to become Tactical Goddess’s spokesmodel and brand ambassador.

By far Tactical Goddess's biggest seller has been their PinkSteel range of gear aimed primarily at female shooters, it is known for its unique pink camouflage patterns. The name is a reference to the pink camouflage design and the steel targets used in competition shooting. Tammy Doyle purposefully designed it to appeal to the widest possible audience, so their range has everything from subtle pink patterns to suit more gender neutral and androgynous styles, to more 'girly' designs aimed at more feminine shooters. Their range includes tactical clothing, gear, range bags and carts, boots, and plate carriers. Despite primarily being aimed at serious competitive shooters, they also have accessories such as handbags, activewear and swimwear. One of their bestsellers has been their PinkSteel yoga pants, their sports bras have also proved popular with active women. Much of their line has been modeled both by Tammy herself and her brand ambassador Margaret Marks.
