I did not grow up around guns, but after giving hunting a try in the early 2000’s, I was hooked on hunting – and shooting! My love of shooting has led me to share that passion with others. I formed LadyFire, LLC in 2013 when I became an NRA Certified Pistol Instructor. Since then, I gained my NRA Instructor credentials in Shotgun, Rifle, Personal Protection Inside the Home, Personal Protection Outside the Home and CCW. I’m also an NRA Chief Range Safety Officer and Refuse To Be A Victim Regional Counselor. Finally, I became an NRA Training Counselor in June of 2017.
I joined the fine group of instructors at Concealed Coalition in September 2024. Concealed Coalition is the nation’s premier provider for concealed carry training and certification. Look for me teaching ladies only classes on the weekends at Scheels in Johnstown, CO.
Competitively, I have participated in SASS, IDPA, GSSF, local pistol matches as well as trap and sporting clays leagues in the past. I became an NRA/Marksmanship Qualification Program Triple Distinguished Expert in Pistol in 2016 and earned the Sharpshooter Rating for Sporting Clays in 2018.
I was heavily involved with Armed Women of America (AWA) for over 10 years. I was a Chapter Leader for several AWA Chapters in Colorado and Arizona and the State Leader for Colorado and Wyoming. I enjoyed the training opportunities that it afforded me as well as being part of a nationwide group of leaders who all share the same passion. I currently lead Grace & Grit, a ladies only shooting group that is a life group of River of Life Fellowship in Wellington, CO.
I believe that learning is a lifelong endeavor, and I continue to learn by teaching. There is nothing more rewarding to me than turning a nervous, inexperienced shooter into someone who realizes that “they can do it!” I want all my students to leave my classes happy and confident about firearms. And I believe that confidence translates into all areas of life.
Shoot straight and shoot often,
Suzanne
