Intro to Shooting - Ladies Only, is a course designed to empower women by enabling them to take their safety into their own hands and to introduce them to the shooting sports.

We understand that learning how to shoot can be a scary and intimidating experience for a woman. We think that you will find this ALL Woman class very comforting. All instructors and range officers for this course are women and includes classroom and one on one range time.

While all skill levels are welcome, this course is designed primarily for women who have little to no firearms experience.

You do NOT need to have your own firearm for this course. We will provide everything that you need including guns and ammo! If bringing you own gun you will need to purchase ammo at the range.

This course is perfect for someone considering their first firearm purchase and can lead up to concealed carry and defensive shooting courses.
