Women’s Firearm Training

The Women’s Defense League has been providing women’s firearm training, teaching women and girls how to safely and accurately shoot for over 10 years.

We are the first organization in NH to offer women’s only classes with WOMEN ONLY range staff, and one of the few to continue to provide women only range staff.

All of our range staff are certified instructors or range safety officers from the National Rifle Association.

Our shoots are not like going to the range with the guys.

Because our shoots are geared for women, we take full advantage of it! We make it fun and include a social element that you won’t find with the guys. We also bring a woman’s perspective to shooting including shooting stance and hold, selection of firearms, concealed carry options, and self-defense concerns.

We teach a variety of different firearms classes including an introductory class which teaches the basics of firearms then have women take to the range; a full-day NRA Basic Pistol class that goes into more depth about firearms and training where women get a certificate after shooting on the range; an introductory rifle class to teach women the basics about rifles where they also shoot on the range; and other skill building classes where members can increase their skills while on the range with our instructors. We add more challenges and classes each year to help women improve their skills and confidence.

Women’s firearm training is extremely important for those who seek to learn how to protect themselves and their families using a firearm. Understanding gun safety and how firearms work is the key.
