Kyle Hanson –
I was fortunate to be able to attend the Level 1, Fundamentals of long range shooting course this June and I am so glad that I did, I will definitely be attending the level 2 Development course next year! The course structure was very well put together over a three day period. The instructors were very professional and informative all throughout the class and I believe that everyone could take something away from the course. As a matter of fact, there were all experience levels there. Everyone from “I’ve never shot a gun before” to experienced hunters and long range shooters.
