ABOUT ME
My name is Shelley Esposito (formerly Gurley) and I am in the Raleigh/Durham area. I have been shooting for over 15 years and instructing for over 12 years. I am certified by the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) to teach Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals and with the National Rifle Association (NRA) to teach Basic Pistol, Personal Protection Inside the Home, and Refuse To Be A Victim. I am also a Chief Range Safety Officer, as well as, credentialed with the State of North Carolina to teach Conceal Carry. I am a certified instructor for Armed Women of America (formerly known as The Well Armed Woman), and currently a Chapter Leader in Youngsville, North Carolina.
I currently enjoy a full-time career as a Senior Financial Investigator with the North Carolina Department of Justice, while still working part-time as a police officer. I have previously worked with other local ranges to bring firearms instruction to my community and the ones I serve. I enjoy working with new/newer shooters and I have a real knack for working with women. As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I can appreciate and value how differently women learn and how they want to be taught. But, I also cater to people of all sexes, races, backgrounds, and skill levels. I welcome the opportunity to work with anyone willing to learn and ready to put in the work!
Warrior Woman Firearms Training, LLC was created to offer shooting instruction to new/newer shooters and those who just want a "refresher". I also offer Conceal Carry Instruction for NC Residents, Private Instruction/Lessons, and Customized Classes/Courses/Lessons based on needs and requests.
With my work in law enforcement, I am able to bring a dynamic and defensive mindset and approach to self-defense, which makes my one-on-one lessons exciting, interesting, and as realistic as possible. I show clients not only "how" to be prepared, but also why it's important. I weave real-life scenarios into every training, allowing students to get the most out of their time with me and on the range.
I pride myself on having developed a number of courses for new and experienced shooters that help bridge the gap between learning the basics of shooting to becoming prepared for carrying a concealed handgun and possible self-defense situations. I teach classes throughout the year and I am available for private lessons throughout the week and on some weekends. I enjoy developing shooting drills for the range and dry fire drills for at-home training for all of my clients. But more than anything, I love watching my students grow in their shooting abilities and confidence.
Be sure to check out what previous clients and students had to say and I look forward to working with you soon!
