Ladies Handgun Course
Tuition: $125.00
1-day program ( 8+ hours)
The course was designed by SHOTS after countless requests for more defensive firearms training with a ladies only format. Course attendance is highly recommended for CCW Permit Holders or those that are considering enrollment into a CCW Class. This class is also for the person that has not kept their previously learned skills sharpened. Others that want to learn drills that transform their target skills into defensive handgun preparation skills will benefit from this seminar. We have successfully held many ladies only courses that have provided the stimulus needed to encourage participation in advanced training.
Abstract
After a review of firearms safety rules, basic pistol skills and an equipment check, this course focuses on the basic skills required to effectively use a handgun for self defense. Whether you have already taken a CCW course from SHOTS (or any other certified CCW training organization); this course will enhance your ability to defend yourself and others with a handgun.
