About | She Shoots Training

MEET KRISTIN

Kristin Pressburg founded She Shoots Training in 2020 driven by the mission to equip women to defend themselves in an increasingly dangerous world.

Today, Kristin is a nationally recognized pistol and shotgun instructor and offers concierge-style training throughout the United States for those that are serious about learning to defend themselves and the ones they love- men and women alike.

Her journey into firearms began on her 30th birthday when she received a handgun and a carry permit class as a gift. Despite initial nervousness, she quickly developed a passion for shooting and eventually dedicated herself entirely to the skill of defensive shooting by training with an extensive list of the most well-known and respected instructors in the country.

Kristin is married to Chuck Pressburg - a retired U.S. Army veteran with over 26 years of service, primarily in Special Operations. Together they run Presscheck Training & Consulting, which provides training to military, law enforcement, and vetted civilians.

Kristin is also a staff instructor at the world famous Thunder Ranch - a premier destination for firearms training in the United States, located in Lakeview, Oregon. Additionally, Kristin sits on the board of the Freedom Forever - a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on the prevention of child exploitation, abuse, and trafficking and offers business consulting services to select companies in the firearms training space.

Training

Some people train to be a reluctant hero if a g*n fight breaks out at an In N Out. They save lives.

Other people run away, helpless, in fear. Which one do you want to be?

A shooting intensive can have even the most inexperienced person ready to be the hero of “that” moment in 6 days, not years.

Are there shortcuts? No. It’s 6 days of hard work. 6 days of failure and frustration, of learning and triumph. Of trusting the process and never giving up.

And most importantly, it’s 6 days that get you ready as quickly as possible and prepare you for the ongoing work to become the protector you want to be.

Do you have some experience already but recognize you need and want MORE? A 2- or 3- day Intensive may be the better fit for you. Level up with the undivided attention of an instructor who knows you may be the one everyone looks to in that worst case scenario and pushes you, trains you, to be prepared.

This is the new She Shoots- it’s not just for women. It’s for anyone that is serious about putting in the work to go from zero to prepared but wants it NOW, not a year from now.

One email could be the catalyst that changes your future. It sounds dramatic, but if you’re tired of feeling like prey, then you need to do this- your family needs you to do this.

Comment EVOLUTION to get today’s announcement straight to your DMs.

My @hillpeoplegear chest rig configuration has some non-negotiables that never change; but also other pieces that are fluid based on what I’m doing, where, and for how long.

For a three-hour guided horseback ride in Alaska, this kit was pretty basic- mostly just the stuff that never leaves the kit. We weren’t going deep into remote areas or far from base camp, I wasn’t alone, and I knew it was a set window of time.

• Med gear, including aspirin, Benadryl, boo-boo stuffs, essential oils for upset tummy and headache
• Chapstick (non-negotiable)
• Smith 10mm (bc obviously)
• @surefire_llc stiletto pro II
• cordage (bc you never know)
• tissues (bc you DO know lol)
• Water bottle (not shown)

That’s it. No need to overdo it. The ONLY thing I didn’t have that I would normally, is a pointy, stabby, which was a complete oversight in packing for the trip.
