Point of Impact Training
Point of Impact Training is an education-first personal defense training company focused on safety, awareness, and real-world preparedness.
While firearms training is part of what we offer, it is not the only path to personal protection. We teach a layered approach to self-defense that empowers everyone to make informed choices, whether that means using non-lethal tools, practicing situational awareness, or carrying a concealed weapon.

Astrid Russell
Hi, I’m Astrid Russell, Lead Instructor at Point of Impact Training. I am a Certified NRA Pistol Instructor, USCCA Concealed Carry & Home Defense Instructor, and Certified Range Safety Officer, as well as a Marine Corps Veteran.
My background emphasizes safety, accountability, and calm decision-making under pressure. I teach with the belief that confidence comes from education, not fear or force. My goal is to help anyone feel capable and informed, whether they choose non-lethal tools, firearms, or a combination of both.
