Hunter Prep Course
$275
8 hours
The Hunter Prep Course is for individuals, couples, or groups planning to hunt together. This course can be tailored to your hunt location and species. We encourage ethical shooting ranges and this course goes out to 1000 yards. In the Hunter Prep Course, you will train in various shooting positions and find out what works for you and what does not. You will practice shooting with your equipment the way you will use it on your hunt, under field conditions, not the way you have to do it at a traditional range or course.
Please feel free to contact Skip Clarkin by emailing c2contact@c2tacitcal.com with any questions regarding this course.
