This hands-on course is designed for adults eager to enter (or advance in) big game hunting with a modern, scoped bolt-action rifle—the most popular and precise choice for ethical big game pursuits.

Course Objectives:

- Basics of ammunition, ballistics, and selection.
- Fundamental marksmanship principles (stance, breathing, trigger control)

- Range practice to build accuracy and confidence
Whether you're new to rifle shooting or want to sharpen your skills before hunting season, this workshop is a great opportunity to build your confidence and knowledge!
