WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

DRY FIRE & QUICK DRAW

In this crucial training aspect, participants will learn the fundamentals of marksmanship and firearms safety. We will then practice grip, sight picture, trigger pull, and drawing from a holster, all while using unloaded firearms. Then we will use wax bullets to safely learn how to apply these skills before transitioning to traditional live ammunition.

SNUB NOSE REVOLVER

Retreat guests will first review the principles of marksmanship and firearms safety. After that we will take a deep dive into effective use of short barrel pocket revolvers, often referred to as "snub noses". We will then begin practicing from concealed holsters.

PUMP/LEVER SHOTGUN

Participants will learn the use of a pump-shotgun by practicing with a Winchester 1887 Lever and '97 Pump as they pertains to fast paced Action 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! In this part of the training we will also be engaging moving targets!

PRECISION RIFLE HIKE

In this session guests will go on a scenic hike through the property while playing a friendly target shooting game similar to golf, but with a Bolt Action Rifle.

TEAM COMPETITION

Attendees will get to form teams and race through a tactical action shooting competition!

Yes. Attendees are expected to dress appropriately for the experience. A tie and waistcoat is required, or variations on turn of the century formal hunting wear. Here are some examples of appropriate clothing:

Not at all! This camp is well suited to new shooters and those just getting started in the hobby.

Do I need any camping equipment?
Not if you do not want to camp outside. However, basic toiletries, a towel, flip flops, and a water bottle are recommended. The guest bunkhouse is a step above camping, but the nights can still be cold in certain parts of the year, so long underwear is a good idea just in case.
