The Honeybear Team

Charneta became a firearms instructor to provide the female presence she saw missing when she first started shooting.  Her goal is to provide a safe, encouraging space where anyone with interest can come and learn, especially women.  How many skills do you learn that are fun but can also save your life? 

Charneta is an instructor who believes in continuous learning.  Not only does she provide training,  she continues training herself to be a better shooter and to learn new skills she can share.  Competitive shooting is a new passion she is pursuing having competed in dozens of Action Shooting International matches at her local range and now getting into more formal competitions with multi-gun formats.
