M. Leigh Deaton, Lead Instructor
“I am currently certified as an NRA Pistol Instructor, NRA Chief Range Safety Officer, USCCA Instructor for Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals, Women’s Handgun and Self-Defense Fundamentals, and a USCCA Range Safety Officer. I obtained these certifications and continue my training so I can help students have a safe and enjoyable firearm experience and so I can introduce more women to shooting sports.
While I specialize in courses designed for women, I offer private lessons and small group classes for men and women in Central AL and the Chattahoochee Valley. I’m the facilitator for the Chattahoochee Valley chapter of A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League.
