HerHandgun –  Pistol Classes For Women – Gun Classes For Beginners – Firearm Classes in Phoenix & Mesa, AZ

HerHandgun classes are held in Mesa, Arizona. The range, Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club, is in the East Valley.

Instructors, Kippi Leatham and Debbie Keehart, are National and International USPSA / IPSC Pistol Champions.  With over 4 decades of combined competition experience, they know what it takes to become a successful shot.  Kippi and Debbie provide quality instruction, ranging from the basics of proper stance, grip, sight alignment and trigger pull to the more-advanced techniques of drawing from a holster, shooting multiple targets, reloading, safely moving with your firearm, and many other FUN-damentals!

Eventually, Kippi and Debbie hope that you will begin attending our monthly practice sessions. For whatever reason you choose to own a gun, it is so very important that you not only learn how to safely and properly shoot, but also extremely pertinent that you shoot REGULARLY to increase familiarity, instill confidence and improve your skill set.

At HerHandgun, we do not teach tactics, self-defense or state concealed carry requirements and law.  However, we absolutely recommend that you educate yourself about the legalities of owning and carrying a firearm for personal protection and highly recommend the CCW and defense courses offered by Lance Nickell and Kevin Jeffries at ADVANCED DEFENSE SOLUTIONS, LLC.
