Meetings are held three times per month at The Range St. Louis West. Each meeting in that month covers the same topic, offering flexible options for every scheduling need.

Location:
14803 Manchester Rd.
Ballwin, MO 63011

Our monthly 2-hour meetings consist of 1 hour in the classroom followed by 1 hour in our women-only dedicated private bay on the range.

• Classroom Session: One hour of a lecture-style class taught by expert trainers. Previous meeting topics have included: basic handgun skills, firearm cleaning, building a trauma kit, clearing malfunctions, holster selection for the woman shooter, situational awareness, hand-to-hand defensive skills, introduction to rifles, yoga, and more.
• Optional Shooting and Social Hour: Following the 1-hour Classroom Session, we head downstairs to our women-only dedicated private bay on the gun range. This hour is designed for hands-on practice of what was taught in the classroom, general target practice, or to stand back and socialize with fellow members. This session is free on Wednesdays and for members of The Range St. Louis West, and otherwise has a $5 fee.

Gun rentals are available for $5 plus the cost of on-site purchased ammo.

Members are asked to sign up for only the one session per month that best fits their schedule, allowing everyone an opportunity to participate.

Yes. A non-member can attend one session for free as the guest of a current member (members add their guest when they sign up). Outside of that one free visit, non-members are welcome anytime for a $20/session donation — with no limit on how many times. Since membership is just $50/year and includes a free monthly session plus other benefits, it pays for itself after about three visits.

Members can sign up for meetings through the sign up link.

Please notify the organizers as soon as possible, so your spot can be given to someone else.

Topics vary each month. Previous monthly topics include:

• Medical (basic tourniquet application, Individual First Aid Kits)
• Clearing Malfunctions
• Concealment Workshop
• Situational Awareness
• Gun Cleaning
• And more

Though we understand unusual circumstances may occur, it is recommended to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled class time. This allows for the check-in process and ensures that attendees are seated in the classroom before the actual start time.

Not only does this convey respect for the instructor's dedicated schedule, but it also allows attendees to participate in an uninterrupted classroom session.

Important: If the meeting starts before The Range's normal business hours, the doors will lock on time and you will not be able to attend.

Business Hours:
Monday–Friday: 10:00 AM–8:00 PM
Saturday: 9:00 AM–6:00 PM
Sunday: 10:00 AM–6:00 PM
