Kirstine Kalaekahi

Growing up around firearms and shooting from a young age, Kirstine (pronounced KEER-sten) developed a strong respect for firearm safety, responsibility, and confidence through the proper training and experience. As an NRA Firearms Instructor, she strives to empower women, something all the women instructors here do. Kirstine is one of the women instructors that really gets it. As a single mother of two grown boys, (one in the Air Force), she knows what it's like to have to do things on her own. She's not afraid of getting her hands dirty and digs right in.

When she's not shooting, she hits the open road on her Harley with her senior Boston Terrier Brady, goggles and scarf on, stuffed into her backpack. She's a freedom loving gal that will teach you a thing or two, not only about firearms, but life in general. Name it. She's been through it. She's a tough badass cookie with a sweet candy shell.

Advanced Classes

Ok, so you've completed a Basic Pistol Course, maybe a CCW Prep or Dynamic Course, and your CCW Course. Do you stop there thinking you've got all the skills you need to defend yourself and your loved ones? Hardly! As I say in class all the time. "This is no longer a hobby, it's a life style."

Furthering your education so that you may be ready for any self-defense issue that you may encounter is absolutely necessary. Just because you have the card in your pocket and a gun on your hip does not make you "prepared". Certainly having a Red Dot Sight installed and weapon mounted light attached without knowing how to properly use them, doesn't make you John Wick either.

You have the basics. Now build on them. Continue working on the foundation and expanding from there. We have some advanced classes that will continue to build your skills. These classes are advanced in terms of what you know so far. They'll test you and push you to become better. Scroll to ADVANCED COURSES and check out our POST Level Red Dot Sight Course and our Night/Low Light Course.

Soon we'll be adding a class with 4X World IDPA Champion and our instructor, Petros Millionis.
