What You'll Learn
Lead Instructor: Laura Michaels Cost: $150 with FREE repeats Maximum Class Size: 16 $20 rebate for purchasing both Women's Handgun and Handgun II at the same time
This is the place to start for beginners and any female without prior, formal handgun training. Our Handgun Level 1 class has been improving every year since 2008, but some female shooters feel more comfortable learning introductory level pistol without any male students in the class. We wanted to make sure those students had a resource to learn without male students.
8:00am-5:00pm
This class will be the official USCCA "Women's Handgun and Self Defense" course with additional parts of Handgun 1 added in.
