Shelley Esposito Gurley lives in the Raleigh/Durham area, Shelley has been shooting for over 15 years and instructing for over 12 years.  

She enjoys working with new/newer shooters and has 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."
With my work in law enforcement, I am able to bring a dynamic and defensive approach to self-defense, which makes my one-on-one lessons exciting, interesting, and realistic.
 

I teach classes throughout the year and I am available for private lessons.  

Shelley enjoys developing shooting drills for the range and dry fire drills for at-home training for all of her clients.
