Why train with me? Why Not?!

I’ve spent the last 16 years studying firearms + tactics instructor development under two of the most recognized firearms instructors in the industry. This is combined with over 20 years of operational experience as an armed professional.

I’ve attended and participated in countless advanced firearms and tactics course, both within the private sector and U.S. government. I’m a certified firearms instructor from Sig Sauer Academy and Adam Painchaud, LLC. I’m also a lifetime student and committed to always learning! You’ll never hear me say “my way is the best way” however, I’ve come to appreciate what works and more importantly what doesn’t when it comes to adult learning, especially WOMEN adult learning…I feel I’ve reached a level of technical and tactical understanding of the discipline to effectively articulate the material in a way that is both fun + educational and provides instant results.

Here’s the reality too, I’m a RAPE survivor and I have come face to face with pure evil in the world and lived to share my story.

My teaching methods blend my personal + professional experience in order to give my students the entire package of why I’m so passionate about living a self-reliant life + having a prepared mindset on safety.

I hope by sharing my story with “innocent ears” it will raise awareness and encourage others to live a more prepared life, one way of living prepared is giving yourself a “tool” as a means to protect yourself. For me, it’s a handgun!! If you think I still don’t have visits of anxiety when I go out for a run or walk, especially with my kids, think again! I’ve learned how to manage that fear and conquer it! One way I’ve conquered it is by arming myself with a tool (gun + ammo) to protect myself. And let me say, what a GAME CHANGER, that was!

**Just a few of the MANY smiling faces of “real women” I’ve trained who showed up to learn, BUILD THEIR CONFIDENCE and crush their fears!!**

Just possessing a handgun isn’t enough,

taking the time to properly learn how to use it and train with it, IS!

Don’t wait until you think you need it, take action to live a more self-reliant life now AND educate yourself to become a responsible armed citizen! Book your personal firearms training session or sign up for a women’s only class!

Firearms Testimonials

“Having known and worked with Christy for more than a decade, I can unequivocally state that she is the real deal in inspiring and empowering women with her knowledge and experience. She knows of what she speaks because she has actually been there and is passionate about sharing her life’s experiences with others in order to enhance their lives.

Christy is a true leader and example setter in the movement to exemplify women in personal defense, shooting sports and the general use of firearms. Interacting and communicating with her is highlyrecommended!”

—George Harris

“I have attended two training classes with Christy and she is hands down the best teacher! Her classes offer women an opportunity to learn without the fear of the unknown. Every question is valid and every question is addressed to a manner that you can understand. She is approachable, and genuinely concerned about each person’s level of comfort, whether its with a firearm or if there is enough air conditioning in the room! The class discussions are not generic, but relatable to life. That is important when you are dealing with this subject matter. But she also keeps it light with laughter and snacks! I would highly recommend any class that she offers. The level of knowledge you receive is far more valuable than check you write!”
