THE WOMEN'S SHOOTING ACADEMY

My name is Vicki Kawelmacher and I am a NRA Certified Instructor.

I opened The Women's Shooting Academy January 2008 after personal and tragic events in my life reinforced in me the need for personal protection.

My training began in California and I bought my first hand gun in 2002. My committment to learn and train is an ongoing process. My goal is to be a service to the community.

The Women's Shooting Academy offers the following classes:
Women's Introduction to Handguns
Introductory level class for the very novice future gun owner.

Refuse To Be A Victim® Refuse To Be Victim Seminar in Reno Nevada.
Refuse To Be A Victim® is a 4-hour NRA program focused on developing crime prevention strategies and personal safety plans.

This seminar teaches easy-to-understand methods you can use to increase awareness and minimize criminal confrontation. This is a non-firearm program.

The seminar is taught by a Refuse To Be A Victim Certified Instructor.

Introduction to Tactics
Continuation class to Introduction to Handguns in which you start working with your own firearm and learn tactics.

Basic Pistol Course
All-day course that includes both classroom and range instruction for men & women who already have basic knowledge of firearms.

CCW Classes

The Women's Shooting Academy teaches you what you need for when it matters. I never dreamed that I would be so blessed to meet and teach those I have.
