Welcome to FAB Firearms Academy, where our mission is to create a safe and comfortable learning environment in which women can thrive and gain the knowledge needed to protect and defend themselves.
About The Owner
My name is Desstoni Holman, owner of FAB Firearms Academy, a firearms instruction school in Central Arkansas founded with women in mind. I was inspired to start this company after being a victim of gun violence myself. It was a traumatic experience that made me realize the importance of actually being equipped to protect yourself in an emergency. I wanted to do what I could to ensure that no one feels vulnerable or helpless in the face of imminent danger the way I did.
One of the things that sets FAB Firearms Academy apart is our tailor-made approach to firearms training. We believe that women have their own set of concerns in this world, and our training reflects that. By creating a space where women feel understood and supported, we foster a learning environment that promotes growth and confidence.
Since our inception in 2020, we have trained over 1,000 women, a milestone that we are incredibly proud of. Seeing the transformative impact of our training on the lives of our students fuels our passion and drives us to continue making a difference!
