I am trying to help put together a group of people to attend a Precision/Hunting Rifle course in September at the Yellowstone Rifle Club right outside of Billings, MT.
Let's to get the word out so that this course happens, I really want to take it
Pat has to have at least eight people in the class to make it happen, any less and he can't justify the plane tickets to MT, etc. Also he limits the number of people to twelve so that everyone get's plenty of personal instruction.
If you have ever taken a course from Pat you will know that he is an excellent instructor and your shooting skills will improve dramatically.
This is a field course so he will have your blood pumping and put you under stress, safely of course.
Pat's contact information is below if you have any questions about the course.
If you need help finding a place to stay feel free to contact me here on the Hide or [email protected]
One last thing, Pat has to have all of the slots reserved by the first week of September. You can get the application here.
Thanks!

Hunting/Precision Rifle Course - (24 Hours, 300 Rounds)
Pat Goodale Practical Firearm Training (PFT)
Yellowstone Rifle Club - Billings, MT
September 25-27, 2009
PFT will be offering a three day course for hunters, which is essentially field courses adapted from Precision Rifle specifically for centerfire rifle hunters. This course provides a thorough exposure to precision/hunting rifle use, beginning with fundamentals of safety, manipulation, rifle theory, marksmanship, zeroing, firing positions, and field shooting. Most shooting is at reasonable distances (25-250 yards), however long range (300-600 yards) shooting is taught and expected. The course stresses fast but accurate shooting from field-expedient positions (snap shooting, kneeling, sitting, and prone positions) both offhand and slung, or while using bipods / shooting sticks, and from improvised rests including isometric body positions, backpacks, and trees or other steady improvised rests. The course includes introduction to ballistics and ammunition, range and wind estimation, achieving a good zero, and other material specifically relevant to the rifle hunter.
Class size must be a minimum of 8 shooters and a maximum of 12 shooters.
A scoped precision rifle or hunting rifle capable of reasonable accuracy is required; 3" group at 100 yards maximum.
Cost: $450 ($150 per 8 hour training day, 3 day course)
