Women's Practical Pistol 1.0 

Real-World Defensive Pistol Skills for Women Who Carry

Own a handgun but want more than just target practice? This ladies-only, hands-on pistol course is built specifically for women who are serious about protecting themselves and sharpening their real-world defensive skills.

Whether you’re a CCW holder, a new gun owner looking to train smart, or someone ready to move beyond static range drills, this class delivers practical, no-nonsense instruction in a supportive, pressure-free environment.

Course Info:

  • Length: 4 hours

  • “I shoot often, but I want coaching to sharpen my defensive pistol skills”

  •  “I want hands-on, practical drills—not a boring classroom lecture”

  • “I own a gun, but I’ve only shot it a few times and want to do more with it”
