The Wilderness Escape provides women 18 and older with a nine-day "get away" opportunity to experience the softer side of firearm education with exposure to a wide variety of shooting sports activities and an array of enticing hunting and outdoor related activities. It's an adventure you'll want to repeat again and again!
No experience is necessary, and all firearms and ammunition are provided. You'll learn to shoot smallbore rifle silhouette, scoped/tactical carbine, long-range high power rifle, conventional and tactical pistol, historic firearms, shotgun (five-stand), machine gun and archery. |
