Welcome!
​I'm Laura Ruoff, owner of Hips n Clips Women's Self Defense. My journey started in spring of 2023 when I learned how to shoot and instantly fell in love with it! Many women I talk to express their interest in learning about firearms and/or various forms of self-defense, but don't know where to start. I've become passionate about ALL things women's self-defense and making it available & affordable to others here in Northwest Arkansas.
Hips n Clips offers a variety of private lessons & group classes and is all about having fun while building confidence in valuable skills.
I am a USCCA Certified Firearms Instructor & Range Safety Officer, Empower USA Certified Physical Self-Defense Instructor, ACS Certified Stop the Bleed Instructor, and hold an enhanced concealed carry permit.
