WSA Signature Shirts


"There are two things I carry with me every day, God and my Gun”.  
 –Vicki Kawelmacher


Here is the first WSA team shirt, I am very excited to finally show it off!  I am staying true to my beliefs and wanted my shirt to represent that which is most important to me.  Some will love it and some will not.  I will be taking orders for the next two weeks.  These shirts are being produced outside of the United States, once I place the order we are looking at a lead time of about three weeks.  These are not t-shirts, they are drifit shirts, similar to an under armor material. 
  
If you would like some additional information including price and sizes please send an email to vicki@womensshootingacademy with the subject line WSA SHIRTS.

The ladies version comes in two colors and the men’s version comes in three colors.

$5.00 of every shirt sold will help support the FREE training that I am offering for women with signed protective orders.

Thanks for the continued love and support, without it there would be no WSA.

August Newsletter

Hi there,

As I sat down to write this blog I realized that it's been far too long since I have been in touch. I hope you are having a fabulous summer. 

I have been very busy working on some really exciting stuff for WSA.  I'll share some now and save some for later.  It's been in the works for a long time but I am really happy to have FINALLY finished The Introduction to Handguns book. This book will be available for purchase sometime next week!  I will let you know how you can order your copy!  Here is a preview of the front and back cover.

Whether you are new to firearms or an experience shooter you will benefit from reading this handbook, there's a little something for everyone inside.

TWO NEW CLASSES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE WSA SCHEDULE
Tactics 2 & Instructional Shooting Workshop
If you have taken Intro. to Tactics you will NOT want to miss this class.  Here is a short video of what it's like, with WSA instructor Carol showing you how it's done.

These new classes will fill up FAST, sign up today or you will end up on the waiting list.  Call Vicki at (775) 772-7064 to register. Here is a comment from Theresa who took the class this past Sunday.

When I signed up for the Women's Introduction to Handguns class I was very nervous.  In my past as a young girl I had shot shotguns with my father and in my later years handguns with my husband. I was very uncomfortable around guns. I didn't know how to properly handle a gun and they scared me.  In all the times I ever went shooting  I was always handed the loaded gun and told where to shoot.  After taking this class I realized I really never knew how to safely or properly use a handgun. I left the class with a much better understanding and was definitely more comfortable with a gun.
I then went shopping with my husband and bought my "own" gun.  I decided to take the Introduction to Tactics class to improve my shooting and feel more comfortable in a tactical situation. I had so much fun and felt that I learned so much more that I decided to sign up for the  Tactics 2 class, Introduction to Competitive shooting.  I felt this class really helped me to improve with defensive shooting  in a more stressful situation.  We did various types of drills with different types of targets, not just your normal stand, aim, and shoot.  This was such a fun and exciting class!  Never in a million years did I ever think that I would enjoy shooting a gun and after this class I am definitely going to attend some of the additional shooting workshops held by the Women's Shooting Academy and maybe even look into participating in a competitive shooting event in the future.
I came home with a new passion for shooting and know that if I should ever have to protect my personal safety, or the safety of my family, I will have the knowledge, power and confidence  to not be the victim!
All of Vicki's classes and her instructors have been awesome. I would not hesitate to recommend any of her classes to anyone.
Theresa, Reno
