Student Group Hosts First Ladies Only Class

On June 10, the Collegiate Firearms Instructor Program hosted its first ever Ladies Only Pistol Class in Texas. There were eighteen participants in this inaugural class.

Many mother and daughter teams were in attendance, and some women came from as far away as Friendswood, Kerrville, and Boerne.

NRA Instructors included Peggy York, San Antonio Coordinator for the Texas Outdoors Women Network, David Kelly and Damaso Torres, both NRA Training Counselors with the Collegiate Firearms Instructor Program.

The Collegiate Firearms Instructor Program is a project of Students for the Second Amendment. The goal of the program is to train college and university students to become NRA Certified Firearms Instructors.

The Certified Instructors will then go back to their campuses to offer training to their classmates, and others interested in learning more about the safe, competent operation and handling of many types of firearms.

Instructors also volunteer their training services to programs outside of the academic community, such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the 4-H Shooting Program, Youth Hunter Education Programs, and JROTC organizations.

The Ladies Only event was an official NRA First Steps Pistol Class, and an NRA Women on Target program. Thanks to a grant from the NRA Foundation, all tuition, books, materials, firearms, ammunition, eye and ear protection, and lunch was provided at a very nominal cost to the students.

The class was conducted at the new Lone Star Weapons and Tactics complex just outside of Devine, Texas. Owner Dawn Brzostek and Manager Cale Conley did a great job of making the ladies feel comfortable, welcome, and saw to every need.

Students enjoyed the brand new air-conditioned classrooms and safe, controlled range facilities.

Participants varied in age from teenagers to senior citizens. Everyone had a great time.

Because of the great success of this class, a Ladies Only Shotgun Class is being planned for the near future. If you are interested in participating in these exciting programs, contact the Collegiate Firearms Instructor Program for information and registration.
