Sun, April 6th 10am-3pm

This women-only private class is led by Loren Butchart of Brave Castle LLC, a certified firearms instructor with 20 years of shooting sports experience. Loren’s enthusiasm for teaching rivals his love of shooting.

Designed for beginners and those with some experience, this class advances from Pistol 1, focusing on holster draws with an emphasis on concealed carry. We’ll cover safe holstering, drawing, and reholstering, starting with inert (dry) guns to practice cues. Dry fire practice will build familiarity and repetitions, followed by fundamental shooting drills to sharpen pistol skills and safety, enhancing hand-eye coordination for ongoing learning.

Expect discussion time to address questions and learn comfortably.

Things to bring to class:
A modern handgun chambered in a standard caliber. 9mm 40. or 45acp
A holster for this pistol. All guns used in this class should have a holster. If you do not have a holster we will continue working off the table. If you intend to work from a fanny pack for carry, bring it and we can work it into your training.
Spare magazines for the handgun you are using
Ammunition to feed the pistol you are using 200-300 rounds is a safe bet.
Ear protection
Eye protection (sunglasses suffice)
Layers to be comfortable outside
Water
Snacks
A lunch
Proper footwear to be on a possibly muddy range
A ball cap
Sharpie
Notepad if you would like to take notes.
