Hello,
I have blinked and another two months has gone by. I hope this newsletter finds you doing well.
Over the winter months I was able to take some much needed time off. I am excited to see several projects that have been in the works for the last few months come to fruition. Read on to find out about The "SAFETY" Hour and Team Ten-X

WHAT IS THE HOME SAFETY HOUR?
We have all been to that long, drawn out “Home Party.” You know the one; it takes up your entire evening and you end up buying products you did not need.
The FREE Home “SAFETY” Hour is unlike any home presentation you have ever been to. In fact, it just might be the one hour that saves your life.
You will get the opportunity to meet Vicki Kawelmacher, founder and CEO of The Women’s Shooting Academy & The Women’s Safety Academy. Vicki will present a very personal hour, tailored specifically for you and your girlfriends. Hear her powerful personal story and you will understand why she is so passionate about your safety.
The statistics are staggering. There is a forcible rape every 5 to 8 minutes; every 9 seconds a women is beaten. One out of every five women will be the victim of an attempted or a completed rape in her lifetime, while 4000 American women are murdered every year. Don’t be her! Arm yourself with knowledge and power, and then pass it on to every woman you know.
Pepper spray, knives, kubatons, personal alarms, diversion safes, these are just a few of the items Vicki will demonstrate. You will have plenty of choices and options as you begin to figure out what is best for you. All items will be available for you to take home that evening.
Every hostess will receive a beautifully embroidered bag filled with a variety of safety items. What are you waiting for?
To schedule your Home “SAFETY” Hour, contact Vicki today.

SPECIAL EVENT: SAVE THE DATE: May 6th
INTRODUCTION TO COMPETITIVE SHOOTING
This course is designed to introduce a knowledgeable shooter to competitive tactical shooting. Your objective is to progress from a target shooter to a defensive shooter by movement from one stationary target to another; shooting moving targets, and using barricades. We will familiarize you with competitive shooting rules and regulations, scoring targets, reading a score sheet, equipment & attire, terminology, target definitions and demonstrate the skills needed to participate in organized shooting events.
The two main competitive shooting organizations are IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) and IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation). Both organizations are available to participate in locally. The cost is very reasonable to participate.
This is a game; your mindset during this course should be to maintain the discipline of your tactics and safety. Someday you may have to defend your personal safety and /or the safety of your loved ones, we want you to prevail! Competitive shooting sports can be stressful. They condition the individual how to respond and function effectively during a stressful, self defense encounter.
The time you dedicate to practicing at home and on the range, will help to develop the skills you need to become a safe, competitive shooter.
Additional information will be provided when you register. The first event will be held at The Carson City Range and the 2nd event will be held at The Washoe County Range. The cost is $50.00 per person.
WHAT HAPPENED TO JOANNE?
Every few months I receive a phone call or an email from a past student. Sometimes the stories have happy endings and other times they do not. Here is a happy ending story.
I wanted to share my recent scary incident with you!
Three weeks ago, on a Sunday afternoon, I was awakened by my horizontal blinds in my bedroom going crazy! Ron was out if town on business and my boys (Jake 4 & Josh 2) and I were napping. A man opened my sliding glass door and tried to break into my home. This was 2:45 pm on a Sunday afternoon! All the things I learned from your tactical/CCW classes helped me be strong and confident and think with clarity. I grabbed my Ruger 357 and shouted WTF scaring the living daylights out of this man. He took off. Long story short, law enforcement got involved, recovered finger prints and with my eye witness description was able to arrest this man.
I just want you to know that I truly have been empowered by what skills and knowledge you have instilled and that my precious boys and I are safe!

There are a few seats still available for this coming Sunday March 18th INTRODUCTION TO KNIFE TRAINING. This class will not be offered again until the Fall. If you are interested please contact Vicki.
