Leesburg, FL – Weston Jones a seasoned instructor and certified NRA Range Safety Officer will lead a Women’s Only Pistol Fundamentals and Defensive Pistol course at the Ares Training Facility, located at 35615 North Treasure Island Ave, Leesburg, FL 34788. This empowering and educational class will take place on Saturday, August 31st, from 11 AM to 3 PM.
(“Women are 80% more likely to be approached in public than a man. I am giving these women safety, knowledge, empowerment and confidence to defend themselves and their family,” says Weston)
Designed to provide a comfortable, safe and supportive environment for women, this course focuses on teaching fundamental pistol operation and defensive techniques. Jones will lead the class, ensuring that participants gain confidence and proficiency with their firearms. Ryan Vincent, also an experienced professional, will assist in providing a comprehensive learning experience.
“I encourage all women, if you are hesitant or not 100% comfortable with a firearm, come take this class, and I will change that,” says Weston Jones.
