Ellsworth Adult & Community Education is collaborating with Axe Women Loggers of Maine to offer a workshop for women who want to learn how to use a chainsaw safely, for working in the woods or for timbersports      competition. Learn from World Timbersports Champion Alissa Wetherbee.  

Safety-toed boots or shoes are required, and please bring leather work gloves as well. Chainsaws and safety equipment  are provided for the workshop, which will be a combination of presentation, demonstration and practice using the saw.  The presentation/demonstration and some practical will be indoors, and small teams will rotate outdoors for chainsaw practice, so dress appropriately.

Over two weeks in a safe environment, you will learn the mindset and skills to protect yourself and those that you care deeply about with and without a firearm. Women shoot and learn differently from men, so this is a women's only class. You will learn or review the basics of handling a firearm and then about self-defense and more importantly how to be safe when moving in public.

Learn the difference between accurate target shooting and defensive shooting. Practice will be inside the classroom using SIRT pistols (laser only shooting pistols) but you will be seriously challenged. Holsters and special clothing will be used. A $35 textbook is included. No firearms are to be brought to class. This course meets Maine's Concealed Carry Permit application requirements. Optional but strongly suggested two-hour semi-private range lesson time will be scheduled separately from class and is an additional fee. Please call 563-2811 to register.
