AWSA Classes: For women who are serious about shooting
Women training women is very important to us. Men and women are different. Our center of gravity is different, our balance is different.
Most men are not aware of these differences when they try to teach women how to shoot.
Arizona Women's Shooting Associates
For instance, when shooting a handgun, recoil control is a concern for many women. With a few simple tricks, a small women can learn to handle a large caliber gun with little problem.

The AWSA offers handgun, rifle and shotgun training, as well as strive to provide a variety of shooting experiences so our members can hone their skills.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would just like to take this time to thank you for the time and effort that you put into the Ladies Personal ProtectionClass. It must be so hard to know that there is so much to teach each student, if we would put a value on our lives first. I do value take to heart the things that you have been teaching me and you are so willing to keep on teaching me.

You are instilling a confidence in me that I never knew I had. And you are making me look deep into myself and awaken the yearning of knowledge in this sport. You will never know how much I have learned in the different classes/ Wed evening shoots. I hope that you know that you have made a big difference in the way I have been able to look & act in different situations and know that if something happens I will be able to put up the fight of my life and or fight the for the safety of my small little family.

I look forward to the continued Firearm and Personal Safety education that you offer to me.

Thank you, Patsy
