Over two 3.5 hour sessions in a safe women’s only environment, you will learn the mindset and skills to protect yourself and those that you care deeply about with and without a firearm. You will learn or review about firearms and how to choose, the basics of handling a firearm and then about self-defense. Learn the difference between accurate target shooting and defensive shooting. Practice will be inside the classroom using SIRT pistols (laser only shooting pistols), but you will be seriously challenged. Holsters and special clothing will be used.

A $35 textbook is included. No firearms are to be brought to class.

This course meets Concealed Carry Permit application requirements. Two 3.5 hour classroom sessions plus a two-hour semi-private range instruction at Blue Hill Rifle and Pistol Club will cost $65 payable to the instructor. You'll sign up for your shooting lesson at the first class.

In a non-threatening safe environment with no live ammunition present, learn the basics of: handgun safety at home; how to handle a pistol safely; parts of a pistol and ammunition; fundamentals of pistol shooting including holding, stance and aiming; common malfunctions; cleaning; and selecting a pistol just right for you. No firearms are to be brought to class. You will be shooting in class using a SIRT Laser Pistol.

A two-hour semi-private range time is separately scheduled (at the Blue Hill Rifle and Pistol Club either 9/15 or 9/16) and has a separate fee of $65 payable to the instructor. At the range, you’ll fire either your own pistol or one from the instructor and try to put five rounds of ammunition through 4 separate target circles at ten feet using only 20 rounds. You will need 50 rounds of ammunition for your personal handgun. If “renting” a pistol from the instructor, she will have 50 rounds of ammunition for you for an additional cost of $25.
