We were following a small group of sheep as they disappeared over the next ridge of rough rocks. We scurried up to our ridge and they were facing us 200 yards away at the same elevation. It had to be a quick shot and a frontal one at that. Nowhere to get prone. Had to use a huge bolder that was chest high for a rest with my left hand supporting the gun stock. No time to rig a right elbow rest. I had to just count on the good habits learned at SAAM……. breath control, no wood drag, complete follow through to the back of the trigger guard after squeezing with both eyes open. Rode the bull and was back on him as I saw his hooves in the air falling off the opposing ridge. He rolled downhill about 5 yards. The 180 grain Nosler Partition was found lodged against his rump hide, having penetrated the length of his body. -W. Fox

I thoroughly enjoyed my brief time on the ranch and would highly recommend the SAAM Precision L1 to any outdoor enthusiasts. I felt that I was a decent shooter and after day one, I was humbled. The isolation from the crazy world coupled with your professional staff, ensured my success of killing my first deer with one humane shot.The accommodations were extremely comfortable and the social interaction between the shooter/hunters and staff was outstanding. The FTW Ranch is truly world class! Thank you so much for the awesome experience.-D. A. Noel, Retired Navy SEAL

I have hunted all of my life. I am 52 years old and I have never had any better training than SAAM I and SAAM II. I just completed my first sheep hunt in the Northwest Territory and had 300+ yard shots on both my Dall sheep and caribou and got them both on my first shot. SAAM I and SAAM II gave me all of the confidence I need now and for the future. It is exciting. -D. Adams, South Carolina

You probably get stuff like this all the time but who can get enough of success?! Just a few pictures and heartfelt thanks! All one-shot kills and no big tracking jobs. Couldn’t have done it without you guys.

I attended the SAAM training course for the sole purpose of better preparing for my first upcoming dangerous game hunt in Zambia. The hunt turned out fabulous; the shot placement and shooting sticks exercises I completed during the SAAM course turned out to be a God send. I was able to take what I had learned during the SAAM course and apply it to real time hunting. My trophy Cape Buffalo was taken with two great shot placements from the skills I learned during the SAAM course. To increase your chances of taking your trophy animals, I would highly recommend this course.

I’ve taken a lot of firearms classes and training in my lengthy time—military (Army), law enforcement, and civilian. And I am the senior concealed carry permit instructor in the state of Louisiana (there are over 500 now!) I teach a heck of a lot of classes every year to civilians. We send more people every year to the Louisiana State Police for their concealed carry permits than any other school or instructor in the state—we are very proud of our reputation for quality training. Yours is the best firearms training class I have ever experienced. I learned more in three days from you guys than I have picked up in a lifetime of dedicated rifle shooting—and I thought I knew some stuff. I have never learned so much in a course, or enjoyed the training as much as I did taking it with you, Doug, Fredo, and Carlos… Monday, the stuff was flying so fast and furious, I thought “I will never remember all this…” By Wednesday, it was mostly all down, and understandable. I cannot wait now to work out my own DOPE card on my Ruger American once I get it, and mount a new scope on it. Oh, and I doubt I will ever buy another scope that doesn’t have target turrets. You guys run a world-class operation. I am going to write an article on SAAM (and FTW) on my blog (www.theshootist.net ) and for the Sportsman magazines… I will send you copies or a link when they appear. Best wishes to everyone at FTW/SAAM. -Gordon “3-Power” Hutchinson www.gordonhutchinson.com -Author, “The Great New Orleans Gun Grab”, www.neworleansgungrab.com “The Quest and the Quarry”, www.thequestandthequarry.com P.S. Last night, every muscle in my body ached, and I have a knot on my right lower jawbone from grinding into that rifle stock, and “Riding the Bull.” But it’s good pain.
