Join Us!!!!

Are you looking to gain more knowledge about firearms? Are you hesitant in signing up for classes because you feel like you might be the only female? Are you self-conscious about shooting? Well, She-Shooters is the place for you!!!! We are an all female group with all different levels of skill and knowledge with firearms. We welcome all levels of experience to our meetings on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. We cover a different topic each month from Maryland Law to Practical Concealed Carry to Situational Awareness to Less Lethal Applications and everything in between. Our mission is to support and enhance the lives of women in the areas of firearms and personal defense. Our vision is to build confidence among women so they can protect themselves and their loved ones. Stephanie and I do this by sharing our knowledge and experiences in a relaxed & safe environment, keeping it entertaining as well. We would love to have you join us!!!!

Happy Spring Ladies!!! We had a great turn out for our March session! We were excited and looking forward to learning Target Acquisition using our FitLight System in conjunction with our new Shoot Houses. Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties and our FitLight System failed. We have started the process to get a new system and will be adding it back into the monthly line up as soon as possible. We offer our sincere apologies to all who came out and are thankful for your continued support and kind words of encouragement. You all are amazing women and we are grateful for this incredible community. We still had a great night with an informal and impromptu Q&A session and of course time on the range!

Are you prepared ladies? How are your unarmed self defense skills? On Wednesday, April 17th, help She-Shooters welcome incredible special guest instructor, Courtney Feldheim. A fellow Baltimorean and former 6th grade math teacher, Courtney comes to us with a wealth of skill and knowledge. She found a love for the art and science of boxing and is a competitive boxer, boxing coach, personal trainer, and self defense instructor. Courtney recognizes the importance for women to be aware of their surroundings to avoid unwanted situations but also understands the need for women to have defensive skills in our tool box to be prepared for all situations. Courtney’s clients range from local to international and up & down the East Coast out to the Midwest. Come join this month on April 17th at the training center as we learn basic Unarmed Self Defense. There is a nominal fee of $40.00 for this session. Space is limited, so go to the link below to register for this fantastic opportunity. You are worth it!!! We look forward to seeing you there!!!

Monthly Drills:

Tap/Rack Drill: You will need snap caps for this drill. Have someone else load your magazine with a mix of live rounds and snap caps. Load and make ready. Begin shooting maintaining all fundamentals. Surprise…you get a click and no bang. Tap, rack, get back on target, and continue shooting. Maintain trigger finger discipline when clearing your “malfunction”. Do as many times as you like at any distance.

Extend, Touch, Press Drill: You will need to place your target at 4-7 yards. Start at 4 if you’d like and then work up to 7 or farther. Load 5 rounds to start. Get in a good stance and get a proper grip. You will start at high compressed ready. Extend arms parallel to line of sight, both eyes open. Once on target, touch your trigger. Next, press trigger firing 1 round. Bring back to high compressed ready. Repeat for a total of 5 reps. The next set of reps you will fire 2 rounds at press (total of 10 rounds). For the final set of reps you will fire 3 rounds at press (total of 15 rounds). This drill will build your confidence, improve defensive accuracy, improve recoil control, and improve shooting speed.

Weak Hand Pick Up: 2 rounds at different distances using any silhouette target placing all rounds center mass.

*** Place firearm on the bench in front of you with the muzzle pointed downrange. Place strong/dominant hand behind your back.

When ready, pick up firearm using weak hand only. Get sights on target and fire 2 shots. Repeat as much as you want.
