Friendly and Certified Firearms Training for Women Since 2011
A Girl & A Gun’s DRIFT (Dynamic Real-world Immersive Firearms Training) Academy is the first training course of its kind that addresses all aspects of vehicle defense! Training in, around, and with your vehicle is a necessary skillset for your personal safety and that of your family. The average American spends approximately 5% of her life in her vehicle. While cars provide opportunities and independence, they also expose you to a lot of transitional and vulnerable spaces: parking lots, parking garages, gas stations, and more. Attend this Girls Getaway to learn how to identify, stop, and evade a threat.
