Warrior Women Mission
LouKa Tactical has a mission for their Warrior Women: “We believe that building a culture of Warrior Women is not only essential for our future, but also our responsibility to do so. We do this by providing professional training and development opportunities irrespective of occupation or status, for those women who are passionate, like-minded, and who identify with strength, courage, and true leadership.”
Black Wing is honored to host Lou Ann Hamblin and help to accomplish this mission.
Advanced Holster Work:
Minimal classroom time will be spent to maximize range work. Participants will learn and practice a variety of concealed carry and drawing techniques to include “clandestine drawing” and multi-tasking. This will be done from the standing, kneeling and sitting positions. Participants must provide proof of “holster qualified” from an accredited instructor/organization upon registration. See Vital Pistol Skills Series.
Topics Covered:
- Safety rules of transitioning from unconcealed to concealed or “covert carry”
- Participants will compare/contrast equipment and placement including clothing options
- Participants will perform drawing and re-holstering from concealment, both open and closed garment, one and two handed drills
- Carry and accessing additional ammunition and reloading efficiently and effectively
- Movement to avoid getting hit
- Tactical verbalization
