ScotShot LLC - USCCA Women's Defensive Pistol.
This is a USCCA accredited and certificated course.
WHAT THIS COURSE IS FOR
This course is designed to introduce new and beginner women shooters to handguns as
defensive tools. The class was written by women to address the specific questions
that women have regarding handgun ownership and use. It is a women-only class that
is led by an all-woman Instructor team. It is suitable for those new to handguns,
or to experienced women handgun owners who wish to develop their handgun skills in
a defensive direction. The class is suitable for women ages 16 and above.
WHAT THIS COURSE CONTAINS
The course includes classroom work and live-fire on the range. The class begins
with a discussion of why women own handguns and how everyone's needs are different,
including why women may approach and use firearms differently from men. We then
discuss various aspects of safe gun handling, including the four core safety rules.
Next, we describe how to hold and present the gun to target, as well as loading,
unloading and aiming. This is all practiced in class before going onto the range.
We continue with classroom practical exercises in firearm handling, including
loading, presentation, stance and aiming. Optimally, we work with your own handgun.
We introduce non-sighted aiming and demonstrate the utility of the SIRT pistol as
a training aid. We then move to the firing range where we focus on balancing speed
against precision at different distances.
We return to the classroom and review the range work, then explore various options
for skill development such as dry-firing and range drills. We discuss general legal
aspects of defensive handgun use. The class concludes with a question/answer session,
and suggestions for future development.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING
This is a beginner-level course, designed specifically for people who wish to use
their handgun defensively. It can be taken by adults and supervised older children
age 16 or over. You should bring note-taking material, and a light lunch. Most
importantly, you should bring a positive, safety-orientated attitude, and a
willingness to learn about handguns as defensive tools. We encourage you to bring
your own handguns, as well as 50 rounds of store-bought, factory-loaded, ammunition.
WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY
We provide all training materials, the detailed USCCA "Womens Handgun and Self-
Defense Fundamentals" manual, classroom and firing range facilities. Light refreshments
are included. You will take away a great experience, and a clear understanding of
how to begin shooting handguns from a defensive point of view. You'll understand how to begin
developing those skills, too. A USCCA certificate of completion is issued.
