Here are some photos of the result of SAAM training from last week in British Columbia  

Thanks, SAAM! What an amazing hunt, all made possible by the training!    

Tim and FTW family - I just got back a few days ago from this hunt in the Italian Alps. Some tough angles to shoot from, especially huffing and puffing from all the up and down. Thanks for all the...

My FTW training gave me the confidence and calm to put three quick rounds into this British Columbia moose. Kept it from getting back into the lake. Thanks, FTW. What a great place to learn!

Thank you FTW/SAAM for getting us ready for this amazing hunt. Our confidence in making these shots was 100% thanks to all the wonderful skills you teach! We will be back! The Lester Family

1300-yard stalk. He was limping badly; 400 yd shot, behind the shoulder. Thanks for the great training!

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...
