Texas Concealed Handgun License Course

Invitation to Elected Officials, Law Enforcement, and Spouses

It is my policy to allow any elected official or law enforcement officer to monitor any of my CHL or Hunter Education classes. If you are the spouse or parent of a student and curious about what is taught but aren't sure you want a license, you may audit that class free of charge. If you decide to become licensed you may do so by passing the examinations and paying the regular class fee.

Women on Target

Club Ed will schedule another Women on Target course in the Fall of 2010. This is a course for new women shooters, or those looking for a review. Students will spend a half-day shooting handguns at seven yard targets and the other half-day shooting clay pigeons with shotguns. The emphasis is on safety, target shooting fundamentals, and fun. It's a great mother-daughter activity. I get to teach the handgun portion, and we have some great instructors running the shotgun portion. Deb Wardlaw is in charge, meet her at http://www.debwardlaw.com/.
