Gunsite Training and Upcoming Inspection Trips

As the 2007 hunting seasons begin throughout Africa we are preparing for a number of trips. First we are off to Gunsite for rifle training in May then back up there in June for a Safari Prep class. I firmly believe in training to use your firearms to the best of your ability. I think that hunting ethics demand that you make the most accurate shot you can. This can only be achieved with training and practice. Gunsite's reputation is second to none. They have been the premiere private firearms training facility since Col. Jeff Cooper founded it over 20 years ago. I am really looking forward to it and will let you know how it goes.

In August we will be off to South Africa for the NRA Women on Target hunt. Shannon will stay there with the ladies who are participating. I will be there for a few days and then I will be off for a series of inspection visits. I will be visiting some outfitters who I've never met before and I will be visiting with some old friends. The inspections will start in South Africa and, move on to Namibia and then to Tanzania. I will be visiting our outfitters in the Kalahari, some other folks in Central Namibia, then off to the Caprivi strip for a buffalo hunt. I will be making my third trip to Tanzania to visit the Selous game reserve to check out the camps of an outfitter I am hoping we will represent starting in the 2008 season.
