Hi, this is Heather from thatboisegirl and my family and I just took a Pistol Fundamentals course at simshotmeridian — my family moved to the Treasure Valley area in July of 2020 and I knew that my kids would have a greater chance of being in a home with a firearm or coming ‘face to face’ with one than in our previous city of Bothell, WA — and as a person who (in general) is terrified of weapons, I knew the only way to be less terrified and arm my kids with the knowledge of knowing what to do if they did happen upon a gun, was to get educated on them. The experience we had at SimShot Meridian was phenomenal! My husband and I were also walking in with little to no knowledge of how to properly handle a firearm and I can honestly say that all 4 of us walked out feeling more confident and more comfortable — we loved the way the instructors taught the safety rules and (as a mom) I loved the repetition of ‘drilling into my kids heads’ answers to things like: “What do you do if you come across a firearm on the counter at your friend’s house?” or “What do you do if your friend is handling a firearm when you are over at their house?” 

SAFETY was their biggest concern while we were there - we were taught where our fingers go, where the pistol is pointed when you’re not shooting, how to check to see if a gun is loaded — plus so many things the 4 of us hadn’t even considered — afterall, our education had come from movies like John Wick and Mr. and Mrs. Smith — which is sexy, but definitely not reality.

SimShot Meridian offers so many different class and course options — we will be going to another one of their courses in a couple weeks and are excited to learn more! Check out their website for all the details on class schedule, type, pricing, and more.
