Dear Tim and the FTW Staff

Thanks to the SAAM course I took at FTW Ranch a few months ago, I was able to take the bear with a single, well-placed shot—right behind the left shoulder, with the bullet exiting through the heart. And this was with a rented rifle that I only had the chance to test with two practice shots before the hunt!

The reason I’m writing is to express my gratitude and acknowledge the confidence the SAAM course gave me in handling firearms properly, which enabled an ethical and responsible hunt. SAAM gave me the skills and confidence to hunt safely—even with unfamiliar rifles.

Thank you again for all your attention and support during the course I attended last June 2025. I’m certain that the success of my recent hunt in Romania wouldn’t have been possible without your guidance.

Sending you a warm greeting from a good friend!
