In addition, the group will have the opportunity to set up glassing areas looking of deer, elk and bears.
Day Three: Participants will clean up the camps, and hike back into civilization, where lunch will be served.
At the end of the training, the participants will see improvement in their marksmanship through the use of reactive steel targets.
