Stephanie Moody

-Owner and Lead Instructor North Florida Firearms Academy  -USCCA Training Counselor; Woman's Handgun & Self Defense Fundamentals 1,2 & 3 instructor -NRA Range Safety Officer  -Chapter Co-Leader, Armed Women of America (formerly The Well Armed Woman shooting chapters) Stephanie's experience with shooting started at a young age with rifles and hunting with family. Later in life her mother introduced her to handguns and self defense. Her mother was a strong woman and a positive model that encouraged Stephanie's enthusiasm for shooting and self defense education. Later in life Stephanie met her now husband, Co-Instructor, and Co-founder of North Florida Firearms Academy, Jerry Moody. The interest they both had in shooting soon had them becoming more active in the gun community and training.  After researching and taking a Concealed Carry Course it became apparent that there was a shortage of female instructors.  Stephanie's love for shooting, teaching and encouraging other woman to shoot became apparent and sent her on the path to become an instructor and later co-founding North Florida Firearms Academy.   If there is a class you are interested in but the date or time doesn't work for you just let us know. We can work with you to find one that is convenient.
