    "What a fantastic experience! As someone who was a little nervous walking in, I immediately appreciated how comfortable, welcoming, and supportive the environment felt. Being in a class made up entirely of women created a space where everyone felt safe asking questions, sharing concerns, and learning without judgment. What really stood out to me was that this class was clearly designed to teach women, not just teach a generic firearms class to women. The instructors addressed real-life situations, safety considerations, and personal protection topics from a woman's perspective, which made the training feel relevant, practical, and empowering. I also loved the hands-on approach. We spent plenty of time working with training guns before heading to the range, which helped build confidence and reinforced safe firearm handling every step of the way. The group of women in the class was amazing. All super encouraging, supportive, and fun. By the end of the day, I had gained so much knowledge, felt far more confident, and left feeling empowered rather than intimidated. I would highly recommend this class to any woman interested in learning about firearm safety and personal protection in a safe, welcoming environment."

    "This was an awesome experience! I’ve shot for years but took this class and I’m really glad I did. Julie made things memorable, easy to learn and remember, and helped me correct incorrect habits that will help me forever! I can’t wait to take another class with her"

    "Julie is an amazing instructor! She is friendly and welcoming, and makes learning about handguns simple, straightforward, and less intimidating, especially in the all-women’s class. I was a complete beginner with regard to handguns and handgun safety. After attending Julie’s class, I left feeling confident and capable, and ready to purchase my first handgun and continue my training both on the range and off. I can’t wait to continue training with Julie in the future! "
