GOT QUESTIONS?

We know stepping into something new can bring a lot of questions. Here are the ones we hear most — and if yours isn't listed, we'd love to hear from you.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've never touched a firearm before. Is this class for me?

Absolutely. Many of our students have little to no prior experience. Our classes are designed to meet you exactly where you are — whether that's never having held a firearm or having some basic familiarity. We start with the fundamentals and build from there in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

I'm nervous or intimidated. What if I don't know anything?

You're exactly who we designed Valkyrie for. We understand that stepping into something new — especially something involving firearms — can feel overwhelming. Our instructors are patient, encouraging, and create a space where every question is welcomed. You are not alone, and you will never be judged.

Do I have to own a firearm to take a class?

Not at all. Valkyrie is about preparedness in all its forms — not just firearms. While we do offer firearms training, our mission is to help women feel confident and capable in all areas of personal safety and preparedness. You do not need to own a firearm to participate in our classes.

I have physical limitations or mobility issues. Can I still participate?

Yes. Every woman deserves access to quality training regardless of physical ability. We adapt our instruction to meet your needs and ensure you can participate fully and comfortably. Let us know about any accommodations when you sign up, and we'll make it work.

I've been shooting with my husband, family, or friends for years. Will I still learn something?

Absolutely. We welcome students of all experience levels. Even seasoned shooters discover new techniques, refine their fundamentals, and gain confidence they didn't know they were missing. Our women-focused approach often reveals insights that traditional training environments overlook.

Do I need medical experience for Critical Care Assessment?

Not at all. This class is designed for everyday people who want to know what to do when something goes wrong. You’ll learn how to assess an injury, provide basic care, and help stabilize someone until professional medical help arrives—whether it’s a bleeding head wound at home or an injury miles from the nearest ambulance.

About Us

Built by women, for women.

Our founder, CheRee, spent nearly 25 years in the medical field before realizing that traditional training was missing the why and how of real-world preparedness. She set out to create the mentor and the training environment she wished she had when she started. Valkyrie Arms Training isn't just a place to learn to shoot—it’s a judgment-free academy where you are guided, not just instructed.

Empowering women to protect themselves, their homes, and their families.
