What are the benefits of women taking gun safety training?
Women become more familiar with safety protocols and procedures involving firearms and in doing so reduce fear and negative stigmas surrounding them, as well as obtain the ability to safely handle them in any scenario. They also take home knowledge they can share with their friends and family who may also be interested.
Our instructors help develop firearms enthusiasts to meet their specific desires. Whether the focus of training is self-defense, concealed carry, competition, or hunting, we build upon the base of basic "gun" safety and teach each shooter how to maximize their skillset in their particular area of interest.
What topics do gun safety classes at Athena Gun Club cover?
Gun safety is ingrained into every class we teach here at Athena regardless of which topic of study a student may be learning. Important safety protocols such as muzzle discipline (where the barrel is pointing), trigger discipline (never having your finger on the trigger until you're ready to fire), loading the correct ammunition, never shooting when under the influence of drugs or alcohol and wearing ear and eye protection while shooting are covered in every class.
Who is the ideal candidate for a gun safety class?
Anyone from a complete novice that may be afraid of guns to the elite professional that carries a firearm on duty every day. Our classes take a walk-crawl-run approach that can turn the novice into a confident and proficient shooter and the professional into an expert marksman.
What other kinds of safety classes does Athena Gun Club offer?
All of our classes have safety at the forefront, but two classes that may be more heavily focused on safety vs. performance would be the "rental safety class" in which the student learns the basics of how to safely operate a rental firearm they are interested in and the "essentials" classes. The "essentials" classes may pertain to pistols, rifles, or shotguns but the focus of the class is heavily rooted in safety and basic marksmanship.
