WOMEN’S DEFENSIVE SHOOTING

Updated 07/24/2021:

The primary goal is to prepare women to defend themselves in their homes and in public.

  • The program is open to members and non-members, free of charge. 
  • Participants must be 18 years or older.

     The Women’s Defensive Shooting Program was started as a way for ladies to gain experience and confidence to attend the monthly Action Shooting events at ECCL. After several seasons the program has shifted focus to defensive shooting training for women. 

Experience is not required:

     If you are a new shooter we will (if staffing permits) place you with an instructor and any other new shooters for a basic pistol shooting class.  Experienced shooters attending for the first time will also go through a brief basic pistol class for skill assessment and safety training.

 

No gun? No problem!           

  • We have loaner pistols and provide ammunition. 

 

Participation in this program is voluntary:

  • We will take as many precautions to protect everyone from the Covid-19 virus as possible. 
  • Masks are not mandatory but are encouraged if you believe you are especially vulnerable.
  • If you are not feeling well, please stay home.
