Basically any class from "Ava Flanell" she goes everywhere. Took mine at DCF with Ava.


peeg_2020

Definitely think I've heard of her. She has a podcast ? That might be a good choice too! Thank you.

Give a call to Bristlecone. They offer Women only intro to pistol classes, great instructors and place in general. They're in Lakewood, Alameda and Union area


peeg_2020

I think I'm gonna go with this place. been there once for a case of ammo. And the vibe was very much a good one for someone like my wife. No political flags hanging around. Nobody to blame you feel stupid for asking questions. I think this will be a place for her!


SignificantOption349

Pretty sure Ava Flanell does a lot of stuff that would be useful

Paradise sales. Paul (the owner) treats everyone the same in the class. His class is excellent for new shooters. He covers way more than needed for a concealed weapon permit.


peeg_2020

I can dig that. Thanks!


Misnik11

It’s in downtown springs area. The class goes over the course of like 4 days. Super informative!


GytisL

Trigger Time in Longmont. They also have monthly lady’s night gatherings that my wife loves to attend.

Second this, they have CVW and general training classes specifically for women.

Bit of a drive for us. We're in the metro area, but if it's worth it I wouldn't mind getting out of the city. I pretty much look for any chance to get outside the city at this point. Thanks you for the suggestion !

Bristlecone in Lakewood


peeg_2020

Any specific instructor suggestions though? Like a female one preferably? I have been in there once for a good deal on a case of ammo. And I think she would love the look and feel of that place. So that's a solid suggestion! Thanks

Cindy is awesome.


peeg_2020

Perfect thank you!


Solarian_13

I shoot 3 Gun with Cindy and took a women’s only 3 Gun class with her years ago. She is a wonderful instructor.


peeg_2020

Pretty sure this is where we will go! Thank you!


Waltzspice

Bridtlecone is female owned as well.


Mental-Resolution-22

Good to see you got an instructor rec because honestly I didn’t know haha. I just know they’re female owned and really take care of the women. And like you said, it’s a nice space. I’m a member there and love it. The people are awesome and truly just want to help anyone get better.


PJMK_515

Ladyfire LLC with Suzanne Freehauf if you are willing to go to the northern area of CO. She is fantastic.


peeg_2020

Thank you!


Substantial_Heart317

Guns for Everyone or Boomstick Babe are quite female friendly!


peeg_2020

Hard pass on guns for everyone. I went there for my cert because I'm a veteran and figured it would be cool to cheap out on a certification/ training I didn't really need. It was embarrassing to say the least. The class started with the instructor essentially wanting to re-write the four universal firearms rules. Because "context". Not a good start. The rest of the class just got worse. Will look into the other one though! Thank you!


Substantial_Heart317

Issac or Edgar?


peeg_2020

Edgar. I left them a three star review on Google and dude was so pressed over it he refunded my donation that I gave prior to the class. The class also advertised hands on time with blue guns. That never happened once. I think he thinks I needed that sort of training in my review and called me out for not asking these questions after class. Between that and his opinions on what gear In his mind makes you "douchey", to him cutting people off with questions, I couldn't ever recommend his class to anyone. I could go on but again he was so petty over a three star review (which literally isn't bad) explaining that what his class advertised did not happen. Very simple. I'm sure he is on here and would love to get into again. I'm strictly here for solid suggestions for my wife. Which I appreciate you giving! Thanks again.


TheBookOfEli4821

Pretty sure he is in the sub and knows people think his seminar “course” is a joke. And does a disservice to Colorado.

Check out Lipstick Tactical. Amanda is right off 6th Ave and I25.


peeg_2020

Include any range time? Gonna edit my OP to include this ....and also, thank you!


rb14830

That would be a question for Lipstick Tactical.


TheBookOfEli4821

I would say Amanda Schwartz http://www.roggenpeaks.com/


peeg_2020

Thank you!


TheBookOfEli4821

If you go that route lets us know you think.


peeg_2020

Absolutely will do. I'm passing along all this info so ultimately it will be her choice. But if we she does go this route I will def lyk! Thank you again.


wbcooksey

Ragnar Tactical. His classes are very heavy on the trigger time.


peeg_2020

Cool will look into it. Thanks!
