At Basalt Firearms, we believe that confidence with a firearm starts with comfort, and comfort comes through training. For many women, firearms training offers more than just a skill set. It’s an opportunity to build confidence, develop situational awareness, and take control of personal safety.
Whether you’re new to firearms or looking to sharpen your skills, our goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where women can feel at ease and in control.
Confidence Begins with Competence
Learning how to properly handle, store, and use a firearm gives women a strong sense of personal control and assurance. Firearms training isn’t about aggression, it’s about preparation, skill development, and peace of mind. When you understand your firearm, you carry it with confidence. That confidence shows up not only on the range, but in everyday life.
Our training approach is built around comfort, respect, and clarity. We know that stepping into a firearms class for the first time can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. At Basalt Firearms, our instructors focus on:
- Clear, step-by-step instruction
- Supportive and pressure-free learning
- Safe, controlled environments
- Hands-on practice that builds familiarity
We offer small group sessions, private lessons, and women-focused classes to help you learn in the setting that works best for you.
Practical, Real-Life Training
Our courses are designed to meet real-life needs. From basic firearm handling to more advanced defensive techniques, we tailor instruction based on skill level and goals. Whether you’re interested in concealed carry, home defense, or simply improving your marksmanship, we’ll help you build your confidence from the ground up.
Our most popular courses for women include:
- Intro to Handguns – Learn how to safely handle, load, and shoot a handgun with confidence.
- Concealed Carry Permit Classes – Get the training required to apply for your Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit.
- One-on-One Coaching – Perfect for those who want a more focused learning experience or want to move at their own pace.
No matter your experience level, we’ll meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.
Preparedness isn’t about fear, it’s about feeling capable and in control. Firearms training helps you gain not only technical knowledge, but the mindset to stay calm and focused in high-stress situations. That kind of empowerment is what we’re passionate about providing.
