Charity Willis

Charity Willis | Firearms Instructor. Mentor. Fostering Skill, Confidence, and Personal Capability.

This is where hesitation ends and confidence begins.

Charity Willis is more than a firearms instructor, she is a force for transformation in the lives of women ready to take ownership of their personal safety, their awareness, and their power. Her work is rooted in a simple truth: every woman deserves to feel capable, prepared, and unapologetically strong.

As a devoted mother of three strong, independent adult children, Charity has entered a new chapter, one fueled by purpose. That purpose? Equipping women with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to protect themselves and those they love. Because for many women, the decision to learn self-defense isn’t hypothetical; it’s personal.

Charity understands that.

And she meets it with empathy, strength, and action.

With over sixteen years of instructional experience and an extraordinary list of credentials, Charity brings both depth and credibility to everything she teaches. She is a certified instructor through leading national organizations, including the USCCA (2022) and the NRA (2010), and holds certifications in everything from Women’s Handgun & Self-Defense, Concealed Carry, Home Defense, AR-15 Fundamentals and Less-Lethal options such as pepper spray, tasers, and Byrna systems.

She is also:

• A certified Range Safety Officer across multiple organizations
• A Marksmanship Fundamentals Coach

• USPSA Range Officer with Steel Challenge and Multigun Endorsements
• A certified Sig Sauer P320 Armorer
• Certified in suicide prevention and mental health awareness through QPR and Walk The Talk America



Since 2023 Charity publishes a monthly article under the title “Hit Cha Target” in both The Evergreen and The Northfield News publications, covering all subject matters associated with personal safety and protection.

And notably, she achieved a perfect score (300/300) in the Massad Ayoob Group MAG40 Armed Citizen’s Rules of Engagement; a benchmark of both technical knowledge and critical decision-making under pressure.

But her impact goes far beyond certifications.

Charity is a founding Facilitator and was the Lead Instructor for A Girl & A Gun – Southern NH Chapter (2023-2025), and the visionary behind the PEARLS, a 2A Women’s Society at Pelham Fish and Game Club (2025); a rapidly growing community dedicated to empowering women in the shooting sports while building connection, confidence, and collaboration for ongoing skill development.

Her mission is clear: build women up, never tear them down.

Inside her classes, you’ll find something different. No ego. No intimidation. No pressure to “keep up.” Instead, Charity delivers patient, step-by-step, student-centered instruction designed to meet you exactly where you are. Every lesson is tailored with a blend of practical firearms training and mindset coaching to help you overcome limiting beliefs and build a strong foundation for lasting, meaningful growth. Every skill is built with intention. Every win is celebrated.

Because in her world, progress is personal.

Whether you’re brand new, returning after time away, or looking to refine your skills, Charity creates a space where you can learn, grow, and step fully into your capability.

Her philosophy says it all:
“Learn from where you’re at… because life never stops teaching.”

This isn’t just about firearms.
This is about awareness. Responsibility. Confidence. Ownership.

This is about walking through the world differently; stronger, smarter, and prepared.

So if you’ve ever thought, “I should learn…”
This is your sign.
