The program is called &#8220;WAYS&#8221; or &#8220;Women Arm Yourselves Safely.&#8221; Formerly called &#8220;Women on Target&#8221;, the program seeks to introduce women with little or no experience shooting handguns to them in a safe and effective manner.<\/p>\n<p>I met Mike Privette of the APSA this weekend when he assisted with the shooting portion of my NRA Basic Instructor Training class. He and his wife Beth are the coordinators of these classes being held in Brevard. They will be offering four opportunities to take the WAYS class this year. I have posted his flyer below.<\/p>\n<p>For $35 this is a great bargain and a great way to learn more about shooting a handgun.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ashevillepracticalshooting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/WAYS_Logo-300x197.gif\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ashevillepracticalshooting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/WAYS_Logo-300x197.gif\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<b><i>Women Arm Yourselves Safely (WAYS)<\/i><\/b><br \/>\n<b><i>(formerly \u201cWomen on Target\u201d)<\/i><\/b><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>Are you a woman who has ever been curious about shooting a handgun?<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>Do you have a handgun at home but don\u2019t really know how to handle it safely and effectively?<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>If you\u2019re a woman who has never shot a handgun or have very limited experience and want to learn more, then this course is for you!<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>Asheville Practical Shooting Association (APSA) offers an orientation and training class for women that is structured for those who have very little to no experience with handguns.
