Our practical, hands-on exercises, in real field shooting situations, will ensure that you're completely prepared for "the shot" when it presents itself.


We are conveniently located 1.5 hours from Austin or San Antonio in Mason, Texas. In the heart of the beautiful Texas Hill Country, our 250-acre facility is devoted exclusively to the school's operations. Our facilities include:

> 400-yard shooting range and chronograph
> well equipped reloading room
> sitting and standing bench rests
> newly constructed log guest cabin and lodge
> relaxing patio with African-style fire pit
> most importantly, our exclusive hunting courses.

Our courses accurately simulate and prepare you for most types of hunting scenarios you're likely to encounter in the field. Each course is designed to place emphasis on preparation for hunting a particular terrain or species. Mastering our courses and becoming more proficient in our drills will improve your in-field shooting skills and build confidence in both your abilities and equipment.

Whether you're a beginner planning your first trip, or a seasoned hunter with many Safaris under your belt, we guarantee that you will be challenged, and a better shot when you leave us.

Our instructional classes are exclusively 1 on 1, or 2 on 2. We will add additional instructors for your group, but will not mix groups. You or your group will have exclusive use of Safari Shooting School.

The day will begin with breakfast, then a hard look at your rifles for appropriate caliber, ammunition, accessories and field worthiness. Sight-in, bullet drop and wind drift work is next, out to 250 yards, and further if you prefer. Later, we'll look at your other gear you will carry daily on your hunt, then embark on our hunting course as a real life hunt!

No bench rests out here. This is where we focus on actual field craft. Your guide will have shooting sticks like your PH, but there may be better rests available. We will help you recognize, and take advantage of the best field rests available. You will encounter game (steel silhouettes) from 35 to 250 yards and more, uphill, downhill and across valleys. The course is hunted as if you are actually on safari with time-outs taken after each shooting event to discuss what went well – and what didn't!

That evening, you will enjoy dinner and cocktails around the fire pit with your staff where all subjects on hunting, shooting and firearms are fair game.

The next morning's activities focus on more targets, areas of concern, and another trek down the hunting course.

Your trip to Safari Shooting School includes access to all shooting facilities on the ranch along with personalized instruction from our staff on how to improve your hunting and shooting skills, rifle and ammunition assessments, gear recommendations, and lots of shooting! Meals and lodging are also included.
