About the event

AWA Instructor Development
Please note in the “comments” section of your application which chapter of AWA you are a member of.

Gunsite Academy, a long time supporter of Armed Women of America Shooting Chapters, Inc. and host range for the Gunsite Chapter, Arizona’s largest chapter, offers AWA members and chapter leaders an opportunity for instructor development.

This allows Chapter Leaders a way to continue their instructor development and gain additional skills to share with their chapter members. It enables chapter members, or those interested in starting a new chapter, a way to begin their journey to becoming a chapter leader instructor.

A three (3) day Women’s Instructor Development Class, is offered to AWA Shooting Chapter members who have successfully completed a Gunsite 250 Pistol Class. This course is not designed to teach one how to shoot. Rather, it is to better prepare one to teach others how to shoot. The course follows a Gunsite 250 Pistol class for those first needing to complete the prerequisite.

The course covers presentations and lectures, both on and off the range, adult learning concepts, peer and instructor critiques, developing presentations, safely managing a range, supervising and directing assistant instructors, and presenting the various weapons systems and liabilities and a night shoot. This will benefit the new as well as the experienced firearms instructor. Learn from Gunsite Rangemasters who are also university professors and Subject Matter Experts for various state boards.

“We are proud of our long relationship with AWA Shooting Chapters and hope this training opportunity will allow their trainers to better serve their membership. We have strived to keep the cost as low as we can. This will train-the-trainer how to teach The Modern Technique as they learned in their Gunsite 250 Pistol Class. Having AWA Shooting Chapter members and leaders at Gunsite is always a pleasure,” says Gunsite CEO Sheriff Ken Campbell (Ret.).

Together the 250 Pistol Class and the AWA Instructor Course meets the requirements to be an AWA Instructor.

*Important Note: Membership to Armed Women of America AND 250 Pistol are required.
