CCW Prep Course for Women

Female shooters will learn the basics of safe weapons handling as they pertain to concealed carry, as well as learn new tips and techniques of safe firearm handling to prepare you to obtain your CCW. You will learn loading and unloading procedures, failure drills, and the management of ammunition and equipment. We provide professional insight on proper grip, stance, moving while shooting, as well as holster selection and placement. You will learn basic marksmanship, trigger control, how to safely draw and re-holster your firearm and how to carry your concealed firearm properly.  Basic scenario training will help you understand and analyze your surroundings and atmosphere. As well as assist you in understanding the principles behind cover and concealment, helping you make the decision on whether or not the use of a firearm is necessary.

Who Should Take this Course?

If you are a female shooter and have been to a range but have never drawn your firearm from a holster or concealment and desire a CCW, this is the class for you!  This course is designed for the unique needs of female shooters and is an introduction to carrying a concealed firearm and a prerequisite to the initial CCW course if you've never drawn from a position of concealment. This course can be taken before your initial CCW Course for practice or after as a refresher.  Continued and ongoing training is recommended for all CCW students.
