Confidence. Responsibility. Capability.

Our DefendHER Introduction to Tactical Rifle Course is designed specifically for women who want to safely, confidently, and responsibly learn how to operate a carbine-style rifle in a professional, respectful, and supportive training environment.

Whether you are a new rifle owner, considering purchasing a defensive carbine, or simply want to understand how to safely manage a rifle that may be present in your home, this course provides the essential foundation every responsible firearm owner should possess.

Many women are curious about rifles but hesitate to attend training because the environment can feel intimidating or overly technical. DefendHER is built to remove those barriers. Our instructors provide clear instruction, patient coaching, and supportive guidance in a structured environment where questions are encouraged and confidence is built step by step.

This course establishes the essential foundation of safe rifle handling while reinforcing the mindset and responsibility required for anyone who owns, may own, or lives around firearms.

Students are introduced to the OODA DEVelopment mindset—the awareness, responsibility, and decision-making framework every firearm owner should understand before stress, fear, or consequences are involved. The focus is not performance or competition, but safety, sound judgment, and informed decision-making.

Classroom instruction provides practical familiarization with the modern defensive carbine rifle, helping students understand how the rifle functions, how to safely handle it, and how to properly configure it for reliable use.

Students also receive supportive, step-by-step guidance on setting up their rifle correctly, including optic or scope mounting, establishing a proper zero, and understanding how equipment setup affects accuracy and usability.

Once students understand the fundamentals of safe handling and rifle configuration, they transition to the range for a controlled and supportive introduction to basic rifle shooting fundamentals.

Through structured coaching, students learn and practice foundational positional shooting techniques, including:

• Standing
• Kneeling
• Seated
• Prone

These positions reinforce safe rifle operation while helping students develop stability, control, and confidence behind the rifle.

This course fills a critical gap many households overlook: understanding firearms well enough to prevent negligent injury, reduce risk, and make responsible decisions when weapons are present.

For many women, learning these skills is not about fear—it is about preparedness, independence, and the confidence that comes from understanding how to safely manage a powerful tool.

If a rifle is present in your home—or if you are considering owning one—training is not optional. Training is responsibility.

Take the first step toward becoming confident, capable, and informed.
