Normandie3 Posted January 1, 2019 at 12:15 AM Posted January 1, 2019 at 12:15 AM Got my wife into shooting a couple years ago (she does great with a .22 rifle) but she is all thumbs and toes with handguns. Looking for a good introductory class for the ladies, as I don't want my lack of patience/teaching skills to dampen her enthusiasm to learn. Any suggestions for lessons within an hour or so of Aurora? Thanks in advance.

Euler Posted January 1, 2019 at 01:36 AM Posted January 1, 2019 at 01:36 AM I know guys whose wives have attended Well-Armed Woman sessions at the ISRA range, which (barely) falls within 1 hour from Aurora. The advantage of women learning from other women is that (for whatever interpersonal reasons may apply) some women are resistant to instruction from their husbands.

Women's Introduction to Handgunshttps://www.exceltraininggroup.com/classes.htmlI have to give a thumbs up for Excel. TD is a very patient and knowledgeable instructor, especially for the ladies. She is an accomplished competative shooter and a good instructor for beginners to advanced shooters.

Hap Posted January 1, 2019 at 04:10 PM Posted January 1, 2019 at 04:10 PM My daughter took Excel's Women's Intro course. She enjoyed it and it got her off to a good start. Highly recommended, as is anything else by Excel.
