training class for women

I've witnessed his firing line training while at the the range - super nice and mellow guy.


I didn't mention it because it's a members only club now, but depending on the timing I'd be happy to invite her to go as a guest - I can take 2 people and it's only $5 each.

No idea what the class costs.

Just let me know if you need that.

Thanks Joe I will let you know. I still like the idea of us taking a class together.

When I paid for my Granddaughter, it was $100,IIRC.
The student buys their own ammo. .22lr.
There would be no issue getting the student admission to the range for lessons.
Best,

Threat Dynamics in Tualatin has a great women's course (showing from experience ) and would recommend your wife check out www.thewellarmedwoman.com .
They have a list of ranges/learning facilities and designate ones with specific recommended ladies courses .

@Monica Cowles runs classes but is further north.

She may have an idea for some ideas down here though.


Edit: are we talking beginner classes or what to do after you know how the gun works classes?

Monica is located about 15 min from the cave!!!! I need to get my wife & daughter enrolled in one of her classes.

You live a short distance from an outstanding, nationally recognized female instructor and author whose primary focus is providing instruction to females. Her name is Kathy Jackson, and she is top notch.

All right guys I'm turning to all the experts out there to help me out. I have convinced my wife that she needs to take some basic firearm training classes so she feels more comfortable handling a firearm. I would like to find a class that is women only for her so she is not intimidated by a bunch of men who think they know something and probably don't. We live in the Hockinson/Battle ground area of Washington and hopefully can find something close to home. Any idea's would be appreciated.

You are welcome.
Glad to see that you recognize training, especially for our mates, is best done by qualified instructors. You're way ahead of many of the guys. Make sure to check out the section, "For the Men", on Kathy's site. Lots of good insights to be found.

Your only as good as your training! having served in our military is a big bonus but if you don't stay on top of it you loose it.
I am always open to new ideas and better training.

My vote is to allow her to take the class without you there. I think it will allow her to concentrate on the class and not have to worry about how she appears in your eyes. Once she is comfortable shooting, then you guys can enjoy some shooting dates.
