Women’s Intermediate Handgun

This class is for graduates of the Women’s Basic Handgun class.  You now know the basics of the operation of a handgun, the fundamentals of shooting. It’s time to learn about using that firearm in a “real” situation.  To dig a little deeper into the world of shooting.

While the specific timing of each class varies, this class involves about 3 hours of in-classroom training and 3 hours of live-fire range training.

“Ian Davis is an excellent instructor! He’s very knowledgeable and extremely patient.. I would recommend this class to any female looking to get acquainted or reacquainted with hand guns!!”

Roberta S.

“This class was so great! It was really nice to be on the range with women only. Many of us were newbies. Ian was an excellent instructor. He was very patient and calm with each of us ladies. His instructions were very clear. He took as much time with each of us as we needed and was kind and encouraging in his help. I loved the way he started the session by praying for us. I would gladly recommend this class to anyone interested!”
