My dad and I spent the last week hunting West Texas, and were finally able to put what we learned, at the FTW, into action! The ram we identified was 391 yards away and I dialed in my scope. As we were waiting for him to turn, we began discussing wind speed, direction and hold (like we heard Dave and Fredo do countless times). The wind was howling from about 10 o’clock, so we decided on a 1.5 – 2 minute hold. The ram turned broadside, I dug in my toes and squeezed off a round. I saw him lurch forward in the scope, as the bullet struck inches behind the front shoulder. He ran 15-20 yards, back up the mountain, and stopped. By that time, I had already reloaded and touched off another round as insurance. (These guys are tough!) With the second hit, he crumpled! All-in-all, 3 – 4 seconds elapsed from beginning to end. You couldn’t possibly ask for a better outcome.
Thanks SAAM!

The SAAM Training Paid off again!!! Hume Argali and Mid Asian Ibex were tough shots but, I was ready and the DOPE cards worked perfectly!
Thanks,

440 yards, 1 shot. It didn’t even take a step, just dropped. I definitely wouldn’t have been able or confident enough to do that without you guys. Hopefully we will be down again next summer.
Thanks!

Thank you for making another hunt a success and a pleasure!! Everything you all taught me or suggested has paid off in a big way. This safari gave me a much better handle on what my gun and I am capable of. My standards and expectations for a hunt have gone way up, too! Warm Hugs to Everyone!

Dearest SAAM Team, thank you , thank you!!!!! I did it!!!! My dream come true… a magnificent Bukharan Markhor from Tajikistan. The training I received from SAAM, “because you only have one first shot”, worked like a charm. With my gun already set for the bullets I was using, the altitude and temperature, I got my one shot through the heart, instant kill. I memorized my special “Tajik” card and had all the calmness and confidence needed for that ethical shot.
Again, my heartfelt thanks.

I was really thankful for my SAAM training while on the Mongolia Ibex hunt recently. Who knew I’d have to tap into everything I learned and all my tools to pull this off. Altai ibex was steep down hill at 380 yards. The Gobi ibex was even tougher, extremely steep uphill shot was made at 500 yards! Seriously I nailed stuff I would have in the past been very unsure of! Thanks SAAM!
