Classes: For women who are serious about shooting First Steps It is required for all AWSA members to attend a class. Non-members are welcome to attend. An RSVP is needed. At the end of this class you will receive a certificate that allows you to attend more NRA classes without having to retake this class. The fee for the class usually costs $50.00, so this is a great price for the class and materials. The registration form is available at this link. Women on Target class is perfect for women who have little or no experience with firearms. The class teaches you the basics for safe gun handling and marksmanship in three to four hours. It helps you decide what shooting sport is fun and right for you. NRA Basic Handgun is a class designed to teach you both revolvers and semi-automatic handguns. This class takes the First Steps and Women on Target class and expands your knowledge to include types of ammunition and cleaning. You will also learn shooting fundamentals by shooting from the bench rest position and two handed standing positions. This gives you the opportunity for continued skill development in ten hours. Children’s classes are a valuable class for any child who has parents or relatives who own firearms. The classes are age appropriate. Children are welcome to attend the Wednesday evening shoots depending on their age and maturity level. We have children who attend and spend the evening shooting rifles. This has been an exciting year for the Women’s Rifle Team. They are competing internationally with other teams. Since it is impossible to travel to meet, they arrange a time to shoot and report the scores to an impartial person who tallies all the teams. We are waiting for our turn to be first and have the trophy travel to Arizona. AWSA’s most popular class is the Conceal Carry of Weapon (CCW) class. Arizona has allowed CCW permits since 1994. In the state as of September 1, 2009 there are 138,348 active permits and 1,492 instructors. We try to hold a class each month to keep up the demand for this class. Once you have your CCW permit attend the Women’s Personal Protection class. This will take the skills you have learned in other classes and put them together into an exciting class to teach you to keep you and your family safe in almost any situation. We will teach you various techniques and scenarios. However, not every situation can be covered in an eight hour class. This takes continued training and thinking on your part. Please join us on the range to learn or sharpen your skills. If you don’t see a class offered, talk to one of our instructors about holding a class. |

Classes Women training women is an important aspect of our Association. 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. 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. We also offer a variety of classes to enhance our member's understanding and enjoyment of firearms and related subjects, including the Concealed Carry Weapon Class (see below). |

CCW Class (Concealed Carry Weapon)  One of the problems we all have is sorting through the immense amount of information available about the issue of self-defense.
