Ladies, if you have a fear of guns, misunderstanding of guns, or a general curiosity about handguns, then this is the class for you! The POWR+ Handgun Orientation class is for women who have little to no experience with handguns but a desire to learn about the safety, handling, and techniques that are required to properly handle and shoot a handgun. Most of this class is based in a classroom setting with some live fire on the range. SCWF staff will also present about wildlife that can be seen on the range and participants will receive photos of themselves after the event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our instructors are DNR Law Enforcement professionals with handgun training and an expertise in this field. This class IS NOT a CWP class, but rather a pre-CWP class.

Lunch will be provided but please bring any other personal items you might need (sunscreen, water, etc.). We provide an array of handguns and ammunition, although you can bring your own handgun if you choose, but you will have to provide your own ammunition.

This is a fun, low stress class that will teach you what you need to know going forward in the sporting field, hunting environment or CWP training.

This is a POWR+ event. Due to the demand for our Palmetto Outdoors Women Retreat (POWR), we have added (+) one-day workshops across the state. POWR+ events are open to all women whether you have attended the retreat or not.

The cost of this class is $100 and will be limited to 15 participants, so sign up now if you are interested!

Thanks to funding from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, all those who participate will receive:

  • Orange/camo Richardson hat
  • A safety vest
  • Ear/eye protection.

Please note that you must be 18 to participate in this class.
