Marksmanship in the Wilderness
This multi-day all inclusive course will cover a variety of topics including the use of magnified optics, understanding trajectory and ballistics, speed shooting, offline overland navigation, equipment maintenance, and caliber choice.
RETREAT ACTIVITIES
FIREARMS SAFETY
In this crucial training step, participants will learn the fundamentals of marksmanship and firearms safety. We will then practice grip, sight picture, trigger pull, and reloading, all while using unloaded firearms.
ACTION SHOOTING
Retreat guests will be introduced to fundamentals of semi-auto rifle use as it pertains to action shooting including transitioning between targets and safely moving while shooting.
PRECISION PRINCIPLES
Guests will enjoy the challenging art of long range shooting, where calculating for bullet drop, adjusting for wind, and estimating target distance are all required skills.
OVERLAND NAVIGATION
Navigating the wilderness using only a map, compass and the sun are essential skills for outdoorsmanship. We will use these skills throughout the weekend to get our group between shooting positions.
