Women's Introduction to Handguns

Price:
$125
Women's Introduction to Handguns is a class specially designed for women who have always wanted to learn the very basics on handguns, self defense, and the sport of shooting. This is an introductory level class for the very novice future gun owner.

A portion of this class is taught indoors (4-5 hours), while the latter part of the class takes place on the shooting range (3-5 hours). You will shoot various calibers of revolvers and semi automatic handguns to get the feel for the various sizes and types of handguns.

Everything needed for the class is provided including handguns, ammunition, targets, hearing and eye protection.

Space is VERY limited so that personal attention can be given to each and every student.

Women's Introduction to Handguns Classes:

Introduction to Tactics

Price:
$115
Introduction to Tactics takes over where the Introduction to Handguns Course leaves off. Now it's time to really start working with your own firearm, doing some shooting and learning some tactics.

Basic knowledge and shooting ability is required previous to taking this class.

Tactics are nothing more than using your mind and your environment plus everything in them to your advantage. You must prepare for the unexpected, have a plan and keep it simple. Your end goal is to live and survive.

Here are just some of the topics we will cover in this course:
  1. Introduction to defensive shooting
  2. Common practices for tactical preparedness
  3. Strategies for home safety, and responding to a violent confrontation.
  4. Selecting the proper ammunition and handgun for self defense
  5. Proper sight alignment, target analysis, common problems and the law
You are required to bring your own firearm and 150 rounds of ammunition. A list of required range materials will be sent to you when you register.

Introduction to Tactics Classes:

Introduction to Rifles

Price:
$125
This class is perfect for the man or woman who has always wanted to learn how to shoot a rifle. It is an introductory level class that explains types of rifle actions, proper terminology, true rifle fundamentals and the shooting sport opportunities available to rifle shooters. You will learn to shoot from these positions, prone, sitting, kneeling and standing.

A portion of this class is taught indoors (3-4 hours), while the latter part of the class takes place on the shooting range (4-5 hours). To train fundamentals without the forceful recoil of a high-power rifle we will shoot .22 LR only.

Everything needed for the class is provided including rifles, shooting mat, ammunition, targets, hearing and eye protection.

Space is VERY limited so that personal attention can be given to each and every student.

Introduction to Rifles Classes:
Classes are offered as a ladies only class and a co-ed class.
