17-18 February 2023 – Amtac Shooting Intro to Winter Skills Course
Amtac Shooting Intro to Winter Skills Course
Led by Bill Rapier
Amtac Training Center (North Idaho)
This two-day course is designed to teach you how to shoot, move and survive in a cold weather environment.
This course will start with a 1 mile snowshoe to the training location carrying all of the required equipment. Once at the training site students will learn how to build shelters/ fires, and shoot. Additional skills that will be covered include basics on snowmobile recovery and the benefits of skishoes/AT skies. A pre-trip recording will be available via a link in your course confirmation email and Live Zoom Meeting will be scheduled in January to go over gear and answer questions.
*In order to participate in this course, you must be able to carry a 30-40 lbs pack uphill for about a mile. Do not sign up if you cannot move multiple miles with a ruck under non-snowed-in conditions.*
