What I Offer:

Curious about firearms but not sure where to start?
Nervous to Novice is a beginner-friendly class designed specifically for women who want to understand pistols in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

In this 2.5-hour live Zoom class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of pistol firearms, how they function, and how to handle them safely and confidently.

This is not a passive webinar. Because the class is live, you’ll be able to watch demonstrations in real time, ask questions throughout the training, and learn alongside other women starting their firearms journey.

Using both a training pistol and a real firearm, I will demonstrate the mechanics of pistols, safe handling practices, and the key knowledge every beginner should have before stepping onto a range.

Training Manual

Participants will receive a downloadable class manual that we will go through together during the session. The manual includes photos, explanations, and key concepts so you can easily follow along and take notes if you wish.

You won’t need to worry about remembering everything from the class — the manual will serve as a clear reference guide you can revisit anytime.

What You'll Learn

• The fundamental rules of firearm safety
• Parts of a pistol and how they function
• Ammunition basics and terminology
• Safe handling and storage practices
• How to avoid common beginner mistakes
• How to choose a firearm that fits your hand and needs
• What to expect at your first range visit

Interactive Learning

Questions are welcome during the class, and we’ll finish with a dedicated live Q&A session so nothing is left unclear.

You do not need to own a firearm to participate.

Who This Class Is For

This class is perfect for women who:

• Feel nervous or intimidated around firearms

it’s also the beginning of a growing community of women supporting each other in their firearms education and training.

By the end of this class,

you’ll leave with greater confidence, a clear understanding of pistols, and the knowledge needed to take your next step in firearms training.
