Guidance Steel Target Shooting is excited to present a new series of multi-day action shooting retreats for Guidance Shooting Club members and invited guests held in the foothills of Yosemite on a private 120 acre ranch! These retreat will include all firearms and ammo required for each session, meals and snacks each day, a bunk house for sleeping or a tent site for those who prefer to camp, and a visit to a private Wild West action shooting range! Each session will be taught by Reilly Bodycomb.
There is no skill requirement for these retreats, however all students must be legally allowed to possess a firearm in the USA. All ammunition and firearms are provided. If you have any questions about the retreat, please email guidancesteel@gmail.com for more information.




WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
DRY-FIRE ORIENTATION
In this crucial training aspect, participants will learn the fundamentals of marksmanship and firearms safety. We will then practice grip, sight picture, trigger pull, drawing from a holster, and safely moving between shooting positions, all while using unloaded firearms.
LEVER RIFLE
Retreat guests will first review the principles of marksmanship and firearms safety. After that we will take a deep dive into the effective use of lever-action rifles. Attendees will then get to shoot a Henry Golden Boy. They will also get the opportunity to handle a Winchester model 1873 and a Marlin model 1895.
LONG RANGE PRECISION
After being introduced to the basics of ballistic physics and long-range marksmanship, the guests will get to go on a beautiful hike throughout the property where small targets have been placed at various distances and angles providing a fun introduction to precision shooting.
SPEED & ACCURACY
Attendees will push their limits of vintage firearms manipulation! They will attempt to shoot multiple targets quickly and transition between shooting positions while being timed to see how fast they can hit all the targets without missing!
REVOLVERS
In this session guests will learn everything from basic handling to drawing and speed shooting a pair of Colt Single Action Army Revolvers, often referred to in the Old West as 'Colt Peacemakers!'
FAST DRAW
The myth of the lightning fast draw of Wild West gun slingers is legendary. There are safe ways to practice these techniques, and attendees will get the rare opportunity to be the quickest gun in town!
OLD WEST SHOOTOUT
Attendees will get to run through an Old West town setting and shoot their twin six-shooters through windows and doorways engaging multiple targets as fast as they can!
SHOTGUN
Participants will have the rare opportunity to use a vintage Winchester 370 shotgun to try to knock aerial clay targets out of the sky.
