Safe Start teaches you how to handle your firearm safely.
Shooting Fundamentals teaches you how to start running it with confidence.
This is the next step inside The Armed Female Academy and is designed for women who are ready to move beyond ownership and begin developing the skills that create consistency, confidence, and competence with a handgun.
If you've ever wondered:
What should my grip look like when it’s complete?
Why do my muscles get so fatigued while shooting?
Why do my sights move when I press the trigger?
How much grip pressure should I actually use?
What if something goes wrong while I’m shooting? How will I know what to do?
What should I practice when I get to the range?
How do I become more confident with this firearm?
How do I get faster
This seminar was built for you.
At WGOAA, we believe women are not small men.
That's why our approach to firearms education is different.
We teach shooting fundamentals through the lens of how women learn, build confidence, process pressure, and incorporate a firearm into their everyday lives.
This is not about becoming a competitive shooter.
It's about developing practical skills that help you become more capable with the tool you've chosen to trust.
A Deep Dive on The Fundamentals of taking the shot:
Stance - where to place weight and body positioning
Grip - thumb and hand placement and where to place pressure.
Sight Alignment - the difference between alignment and sight picture and what comes first.
Trigger press - phases of the trigger and how to press correctly
Follow-through - what is it, why do I need it, and how it applies to self-defense.
