Friday Evening
Grace – Building confidence on a solid foundation. Should Christians carry guns for self-defense?
Guns – Learning firearm safety and handgun fundamentals with dry fire training, Elite Force airsoft guns and MantisX training systems. Learn proper sight, grip, trigger control and stance before we hit the range Saturday morning.
We will discuss the decisions that need to be made when deciding self-defense plan.
Saturday
Grace – Be the Warrior that God created you to be with the armor of God as you guard your heart.
Guns – 3 different sessions of live fire range time. I have chosen select light recoil handguns for Saturday training. Q&A Campfire with instructors and coaches to allow the opportunity to ask us questions on our experiences & concealed carry.
This will be a casual comfy night by a fire. We will also have door prizes.
Sunday morning
Grace – Choices, so many choices, but one is the most important of them all and is the key to beating fear/anxiety.
Guns – I have selected several of the most common guns that women prefer, guns that should be avoided & some just for the experience. We are providing a variety for range Sunday range time, to give the opportunity to see what you like, what you don’t like and even a few that are just for fun.

Certified Instructors
I have invited a few female instructor friends of mine to come alongside me for this one-on-one training retreat. Certified instructors from Montana and Pennsylvania will be assisting at the retreat. These ladies have a heart like mine and want to teach women to build their confidence on the firing line. Participants will have the opportunity to ask us a variety of questions throughout the weekend. We are happy to share some of our learning journey with each of you.
Retreat Coaches
I invited a handful of my advanced trainees to assist us with the firearms training. These ladies have been persistent in their training and it shows. They are excited for this opportunity to help other women grow in grace on the firing line. The coaches are also a good source of information for what they have decided for their home defense gun, their conceal carry choices. There is more than one option, you will have a chance to visit with each of them to help you decide what will work best for your situation and family.

Good morning,
I am hoping for a few more sponsors before I set the price. We are trying to get the cost as low as possible for attendees. I am hoping to open registration in the next week or two. I will update this page with additional event information and registration form as soon as possible. Kathie, event coach, will be one of the first to know that registration is open – so ask her to give you a heads up when she hears that it is registration is open. Coaches and Instructors will be the first to know and then I will post the link on my Guns and Grace social media page.
