Are there any instructors that you recommend to teach CCW or basic handgun classes to women?  My wife and her friend are interested more for the education than carry at this point.  Her experience level is low and I want this to be a positive learning experience for her.  She enjoys shooting 22 rifles and the AR, but is still trying to get comfortable with the handgun.

I am a chapter leader for a ladies only shooting group called The Well Armed Woman Metro East Illinois Shooting Chapter. We meet once a month at Town and Country Gun Club in Maryville. We cover an hour or so of educational time and an hour of range time once a month.

That being said, I also run ladies only firearms classes once a quarter or so, as well as normally have at least one lady in all my firearms classes. Our classes are small which allows for more one on one instruction.  If you want to PM me I can give you more info on my classes and The Well Armed Woman

Call Shooter's in Columbia, IL.  They do a VERY good class that has lots of women in it.  You won't be ogled.

Seconded. I went through one of her and her husband's first IL CCW classes and they both do a great job.

I live near shooters, and am happy with the business that I have done with them.  I'm not sure my wife will handle the smoke very well though.  I will give Kdj a message when our summer schedule calms down.  Thanks for all of the replies.
