Women's firearm / self defense training around Morgan County?

[dieselrealtor]

Looking for my wife & daughter, I would like to get them through some formal training.
Does anyone know of anything around this area or within 30-45 minutes from Martinsville?

The only thing I do know of is the Well Armed Women SD classes at Beech Grove FireArms. There next meeting is Sunday the 26th from 2 to 4. That would be a little hike but not unmanageable.

Could you provide any further specifics of what you're looking for? "Firearms/self-defense" is a pretty broad category. Are there specific issues you're trying to address? What are you trying to accomplish/prepare them for?

Send them up to Boone Co. to take Sheriff Campbell's intro to defensive pistol course (he offers ladies only classes too). It is WELL WORTH THE DRIVE!

He is a Gunsite instructor and his class is very close to the intro Gunsite classes. They are also really cheap, I think they are now $200 for a 16 hour 2-day class. The first day is classroom/range and the 2nd day is all range. This is not a basic gun safety class, this is a defensive pistol class. He runs a hot range and teaches useful self defense shooting, not just how to uncase a gun on a counter and target shoot.

He also brings in many other good training opportunities including Louis Awerbuck, Gunsite, Steve Tarani, and Doc Gunn. Just check out his website.
