Ladies Only Handgun workshop | Build Confidence & Skills

Now more than ever, women need to feel confident carrying and handling their firearms. Studies show that while many women own handguns, a large number don't carry because they lack confidence with their weapon. Recent events remind us of the critical importance of being able to defend yourself when the unimaginable happens. If you don't do it, no one is going to do it for you.

Join us for this empowering two-day, hands-on workshop!

Dates: Saturday, October 25 & November 1
Time: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Cost: $25.00
Location: Winterset, IA

What You'll Learn: Learn and practice essential skills to carry your handgun with confidence. This workshop is designed specifically for women who want to feel prepared and capable.

• Field training
• Advanced defensive tactics
• Firearms instruction
As a family man, he understands firsthand the importance of women being able to protect themselves and their families. His relatable teaching style will help you gain the skills and confidence you need.

Don't wait—empower yourself today!
