The Shooting Gallery Range is proud to welcome women of any experience level to our indoor shooting facility – even those who have never shot a gun before. But we understand that, as a new female shooter, you might not yet feel comfortable at the range among your male counterparts. We’ve developed our women-only basic handgun training class to encourage you to hone your skills in the most comfortable environment possible. You’ll learn and practice among other women at your skill level who are as passionate about the shooting sports as you are.

The basic handgun class is perfect for both new and experienced shooters. This class is taught in a three-hour session. It is designed for people that have limited shooting or no shooting experience, but is also a great refresher for the more experienced shooter. The class will involve both classroom and range time with the emphasis on actual shooting and handling of a firearm. It will focus on fundamentals including stance, grip, breath control and trigger control. By the end of the class, you will be able to shoot safely, comfortably and with confidence.

This class will cover the following:

Fundamental firearm safety: Before shooting any type of firearm at the range, it’s essential to understand the basic rules concerning gun safety. Our instructors are here to help you stay completely safe during your instruction time and into the future with tips on how to handle, load, unload and store your gun.

Operation: Learn about your firearm’s parts, how it operates, how to load and unload it, its ammunition and other topics surrounding its performance.
Shooting basics: During our range time, we’ll teach you how to stand correctly when shooting, how to hold your firearm, how to aim and other fundamentals of marksmanship.

Shooting drills: After learning shooting basics, you’ll put your knowledge into practice with a range of shooting drills. Our instructors will watch and guide you the entire time so that you can feel entirely safe and confident in your shooting abilities.

The class fee includes the range use fee, hearing and eye protection, and targets. Women may elect to bring their own firearm and ammunition, but for safety, no live ammunition is permitted into the classroom. Gun rentals and ammunition are also available for a separate charge.

This class is limited to 10 students so please book your reservation by phone.

Improved self-defense skills: Many women worry about protecting themselves or their loved ones in the event of a crisis. Learning how to shoot correctly can ease these fears. We can help you improve your shooting skills as well as answer any questions you might have about self-defense shooting laws during your time at the range.

Companionship: Like any other type of instruction program, shooting classes are a great way to meet other women like you in the Orlando area who share a desire to learn more about the shooting sports. Many ladies who take a women-only shooting course enjoy lifelong friendships with their classmates.
