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.

Ideal for beginners or those transitioning to centerfire rifles, this course combines classroom instruction with live-fire range time to turn knowledge into real-world capability.

Course Objectives:

Detailed understanding of bolt-action rifle components and operation.
Proper selection, mounting, and zeroing of scopes and optics
Basics of ammunition, ballistics, and selection.
Fundamental marksmanship principles (stance, breathing, trigger control)
Practical shooting from field positions (prone, sitting, kneeling, offhand)
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!
