“I was keen to stretch the legs on the rifle. Kerry’s instruction not only helped me get the most out of my existing rifle, his pointers on the fundamentals meant that I finally got to see the rounds impacting on target! That was a first!”

“Great course to take your basic shooting to the next level.
Had a superb time out with Kerry. He took me through the basics and helped spot bad practice before it became bad habits.
Came away feeling far more confident than I’d been before being there. Kerry was very patient.
Overall, a superb course. I thoroughly recommend it.”
