What You'll Learn

Women's-Led Beginning Handgun – Level 1 is a premier introductory workshop explicitly designed for women who are brand new to firearms, looking to refresh their basic skills, or seeking to build true confidence in a welcoming, high-energy environment.

This class is taught entirely by a woman, for women.

We beautifully balance the serious responsibility of personal defense with an engaging, supportive, and empowering classroom dynamic, allowing you to train alongside a community of like-minded women.

The All-Inclusive Beginner Package

We provide 100% of the gear you need to succeed.

Your tuition completely covers:

--Top-Tier Handguns explicitly selected for comfort and ease of learning. --All Required Ammunition for the live-fire session. --All Official Targets.Your Live-Fire Range Fees. --Eye and Ear Protection.

What You Will Master

--The Empowerment Safety Model: Internalizing the core rules of firearm safety until they become entirely natural, subconscious habits. --Pistol Anatomy Decoded: Demystifying exactly how modern handguns function, their clear spaces, and their mechanical operation. --The Pillars of Precision: Building a rock-solid shooting baseline through hands-on coaching of proper stance, high-frame grip, clean sight alignment, and crisp trigger control. --Live-Fire Firing Line Confidence: Transitioning smoothly from classroom dry-practice to live-fire range drills under the direct, one-on-one supervision of patient female instructors. --Your Personal Training Path: Leaving the course with a realistic, measurable plan to safely and confidently continue expanding your personal defense skills.

    "This class was offered in a comfortable, safe, and non-intimidating environment. Julie Faris did a great job of teaching our group which had first-timers and a variety of experience levels. I learned so much and came away with a new confidence in handling my semi-auto."
