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.

Certified USCCA Women's Handgun and Self Defense instructors will teach the official USCCA class plus more. There will also be top-of-the-line firearms training aids used in class to increase efficiency.

Morning is "classroom" including hands-on work with revolvers, semi-automatics, and dummy ammunition Gun Safety—foremost and always!

Handgun knowledge—revolvers and semi-automatics Ammunition and hygiene when shooting Fundamentals of handgun shooting Gripping revolvers and semi-automatics Loading Unloading Reloading Dry firing Cleaning

Afternoon is range live fire: Benchrest Two-handed standing One-handed standing

Note: Handguns (.357 revolvers) and custom ammunition loaded to extremely low levels are provided and included in the price. We also provide .22 caliber pistols. We finish the class with a sampler of multiple calibers including 9mm, 38 Special, etc.

You only need eye protection and ear protection, with "muff" type ear protection best.

The location of this course will be either our southwest Fort Wayne range or the Izaak Walton Huntington chapter range. The location is determined the week of class based on availability and location of the students. You will receive an email with directions.

Approximately 8 hours Prerequisite: None Background checks will be done on all registrants

Multiple certified USCCA and NRA instructors and certified Range Safety Officers will be at each class. A certified Chief Range Safety Officer will be at every class.

Online supplemental material available at www.IndianaFirearmsTraining.com Be sure to include your phone number during registration so instructors can guide you through any online troubleshooting.

Cancellation Policy: Students are required to cancel at least 1 week in advance of a class date in order to receive a full refund. Classes cancelled less than 1 week before the class will not be refunded.

What We'll Teach

Women's Handgun & Self-Defense Fundamentals

With three distinct modules, this course is designed for those who are brand new to firearms and those who are ready to learn more about defensive shooting.

Basics and fundamentals will be introduced, reviewed, and then built upon, while also exploring:

  • Situational awareness
  • Common types of handguns
  • Ammunition types, malfunctions
  • Firearms handling skills
  • Defensive pistol fundamentals
  • The use of deadly force

Whether you’ve never touched a firearm, you’re looking for the next steps in your training, or you’ve chosen to learn about the skills, tools, and mindset needed to use firearms for self-defense, you can be prepared to carry confidently every day with tips and techniques from experienced women in the world of firearms.
