Become a master marksman. This course will give you personal training by some of the most accomplished professional hunters and long-range snipers on the planet. Combine this world class shooting course with five-star lodging, gourmet meals, and a group of like-minded sportsmen and you end up with the trip of a lifetime.

During this 3 day course you'll get to build a curriculum of shooting rifle/pistol/shotgun that best aligns with the skills you are looking to hone in the most.  Whatever you choose, we will get to shoot...a lot.

If you choose to focus on rifle, you'll become an expert marksman. We’ll take shots you wouldn’t even imagine upon arrival, but by the time you leave they will be second nature. We’ll practice downhill shots, uphill shots, and shots with wind coming from all directions. We will shoot offhand, kneeling, prone, and sitting. Whether we are using a monopod, bipod, boulder or nothing at all, you’ll learn how to not only find out how to put lead on target consistently and accurately, but also how to do it when the circumstances are less than perfect.

If you prefer shotgun you can shoot clays at the clays course, pistol range, and really master the perfect lead regardless of the game or shot angles.

Whatever you choose, at Ball and Buck we know that when you finally do go on the hunt of your dreams, there is nothing more important than making it count, because you will have worked far too hard, hiked far too many miles, and spent far too many sleepless nights dreaming of that trip, to miss.

Spouses and families are welcome to attend for $250 per night which includes lodging and food. There are plenty of non shooting activities at Branded Rock Canyon like nature hikes, spa services, shopping and other family friendly activities to ensure everyone has a great time.
