I can't express how much has changed since attending the FTW SAAM course.  Our recent safari to Mozambique was the best out of many trips to Africa because of FTW.  I have struggled with hunting for...

This was my fourth trip to Africa, but the first one hunting dangerous game.  Your school gave me so much more confidence while making some shots under pressure. The training at your school to...

FTW gave me the tools and confidence to harvest this beautiful black bear! Our hunting efficiency is all due to our time at the ranch and the skills acquired. We are huge fans of the SAAM courses!

"Thanks FTW! 135 off sticks, 375 Ruger. Didn’t take a step!"

This situation required the shooting skills I learned at FTW.  I used all the pre-shot steps, I had to build my house about three times on the sheep to get an acceptable reticle movement down to...

I dropped this Topi today in Tanzania near the Rungwa River! Please pass my thanks for instruction and patience to Dave and Efren - it seems to be soaking in!

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...

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...

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...

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...

  My most exciting kill, came in running full speed, teeth barred, snarling, shot him 10 yards. SAAM, your training made the difference, without it, it would have been ugly.

Here are a few pics of the brown bear I shot last in Alaska. He was about a 9 ft bear. The shot was 400 yards with a 30-degree uphill angle. I only felt confident to take the shot because of my FTW...

I had a great time at the last SAAM class & am looking forward to next year. I'm sending a belated update on the nilgai hunt that I had the week following the class. It was a great success....

  After all these years, SAAM is still paying off!  Our safari in South Africa was an exceptional trip.  All of the trophies were taken with “only one first shot”! Thanks again for the training...

To Everyone at FTW, words can’t describe how appreciative I am of the outstanding instruction I received when I attended the SAAM Precision Rifle Course. Attached is a picture of the Rocky Mountain...

Thank you so much!  This is the shot I mentioned in New Zealand with Don, 385 yards downhill in wind.  Never would've tried without y'all's training.

I showed up with complete confidence because of my training at the FTW! The guide that was with me said this bull was about 14 years old judging by his teeth. Means this boy was good at hiding!...
