You will be happy, and Doug will be happy, to hear 8 of 10 killed on the first shot, the other 2 were buffalo and it took an extra shot for each. Both were great first shots, but they needed a second. All the training really pays off! I think so much differently when hunting now!
After attending the SAAM basic and advanced courses I have an entirely new confidence when shooting. These courses allowed me to confidently take, and ethically make, every shot Africa offered me on a recent safari.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the great training that led up to our Safari in S. Africa. To think that Samuel (and myself) first attended FTW in August of 2021 for the New Hunter Course and then to see him harvest these animals in Africa is just outstanding. Quite a journey, skill set wise, in less than two years and a lot of fun too!
The two highlights, shooting wise, on the safari were Samuel’s one shot kill of his Kudu at 260 yds standing off of sticks; and for his Blesbock, the training for quick, snap-style shooting served him well.
FTW training is a game changer.
Thanks SAAM, had a great hunt in Zimbabwe after the training, all with ONE shot!
One rifle safari with Shaun Buffee in Bubye Valley ZW, in 2017 after custom SAAM clinic for DSC S TX chapter. All pictured were one shot, quick kills thanks to FTW and stalking skills of Shaun Buffee.
