FUNDAMENTALS OF DEFENSIVE SHOOTING FOR WOMEN

​

Designed specifically for women who want to obtain the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully handle nearly any personal protection situation.

​

Our female students are often most comfortable in a class limited to women students. Our specialized Defensive Handgun Course is designed specifically for women who want to obtain the necessary knowledge and skills to safely keep, carry, and handle guns, and effectively manage any personal protection situation. Our goal is to provide competent information, instruction, and drills that allow students to perform to the best of their ability.

Students will need to bring a suitable defensive pistol or revolver, holster, and 150 rounds of handgun ammunition. Most revolvers and semiauto pistols of reputable manufacture are acceptable. All our work will be from concealment.
