My two sons, ages 8 and 11 have gone through your Basic Rifle Safety Class. At first I had concerns about enrolling my 8 year old (thought he was too young) but you were right on the money when you advised he would benefit from it. Not only was he able to keep up with your class, but he came away with a basic understanding on how a rifle works and a solid knowledge of the rules for safe handling. Your training has also given my wife and I piece of mind knowing that our children now know the do’s and don'ts when handling their rifles. We highly recommend your training to anyone, especially those with children.

Hi Richard- It's Torie - got back from Cody, Wyoming last week.
Yes-it did have a cold breeze all the time. Thanks for pointing that
out-HA! Well let me tell you about my first hunt: we went to my area-
most of the mule/white tail deer were on private land (How do they
know?!)-but we spotted about 5 doe about 365 yards off the road- so my
husband & I squat-crawled through a drainage ditch (luckily just
long grass in it which helped camouflage us)& got about 150 yards
away. Used shooting sticks in a squat-sit position. After catching my
breath or at least trying to, I shot my first shot & missed
-thankfully! They ran 50 yards or so to my right so we just readjusted
& I shot her a little high but in the lungs so she went down 50
yards away. I cried as I watched her attempt to run, but after seeing my
kids, sister & brother-in-law & their kids coming running
across the field from the road- I soon realized I just brought meat to
the table (BOY-is doe good-we got most of it ground & didn't add any
soot)
JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK
YOU- YOU'RE A GREAT TEACHER -very patient & knowledgeable.
Hope our paths meet
again -received the certificate -thank you. Take Care & God Bless!

Torie took both the California Hunter
Education Course and the NRA Basic Rifle Course. She was an
extraordinary student. Excellent shooting Torie! That's a beautiful Mule
Deer doe. Thanks for the great picture and hunting story!

Richard, Thanks for the great hunter safety class which I took with my
son Benjamin in August 2006. Benjamin really got some great insight from
this class and retained all of the necessary safety training. Although I
personaly have had my hunting license for over 30 years I found it very
useful having a refresher course. Here are some pictures of 10 year old
Benjamin hunting in the 2006 dove opener. On opening morning Benjamin
bagged 2 whitewings using a 410 gauge single shot. I will never forget
that moment or the smile on Bens face. Thanks again, John Stock.

Thanks Richard.. Went hunting on Thursday, got this Black Hawaiian out
in Redlands.. He was up on a ridge about 400 yards away 150 ft above me.
Got down prone, aimed about a foot over his head just up from heart
and lung, hit him through and through hip to hip. Immediately laid
down, took about 1-2 min for the head to fall. Unfortunately he rolled
off of a cliff he was standing near. Only took one shot. The rancher
couldn't believe it, he watched the shot from behind me and said he
wished he had it on tape. I ordered a new fixed 10x tactical scope this
week, wish I had that for the shot.
I was using a Remington 673 with a Nikon 3-9x40 buckmaster scope and
Federal Power-shok 180 grain .308 ammunition. I have a new rifle on the
way right now from Virginia (see pic), Remington 700 SPS tactical and a
brand new SWFA 10x42mm Super Sniper tactical scope (see pic).. Can't
wait to get that rifle. I'm going to immediately send the bolt out for a
tactical bolt knob and to change the angle. I should be spot on after
that. I've been practicing a lot with my mil-dot ranging and windage
and elevation calculations. I just got lucky on Thursday with the
3-9x40..
Thanks for your time.

I just wanted to send a quick note regarding a class my son and I
attended on 7/28/2007. I want to let you know that my 12 yr. old son and
I took the hunter safety class at Prado Shooting range on 7/28/2007
given by your instructor Bo Greger. I want to let you know he is an
outstanding instuctor. He covered the material passionately , clearly
and added personal hunting experiences which made the material much more
relevant. For example, my 12yr. old son scored a 97 on the test, due in
large part to the way the material was presented by Bo. Your website
advertised your classes as being family oriented, and this is very much
the case. I will take additional classes offered by your organization
soon, such as the NRA class, as well as recommend to anyone interested
in taking a hunter safety class that they take one offered by your
organization and taught by Bo.Thank you for the incredible experience.
PS. You may, if you want use this email on your website as a testimonial to your organization if you wish.
Sincerly,
Dan Baudino
