Women’s Defensive Handgun 1 Course

Led by a female instructor, this women-only Defensive Handgun 1 course is for women who have some beginner-level experience with a handgun but want to start on the right path for defensive preparedness. The goal of the class is to get students shooting safely, consistently, and with a focus on good self-defense habits. This class is a great class to prepare you for the Women’s Practical Handgun class. All shooting drills in this course are completed from the ready position and drawing from a holster is not required, although you should have one to attend. We do have rental holsters and handguns available. For those that have no or little experience with handguns, we recommend Intro to Handgun.
