Advanced Turkey Hunting

Join us at the range to learn more about turkey hunting and gain hands-on experience using a shotgun. Compare the turkey patterns created at different yardage with different shotguns and ammunition. This will help you determine what to look for when selecting ammunition and purchasing a firearm for turkey hunting.

This workshop is offered in Wilton, Augusta, and Auburn in April. Must be at least 12 to participate in live fire. All firearms and ammunition will be provided. 

This workshops combines Introduction to Turkey Hunting and Advanced Turkey Hunting into a one-day event. The morning session will discuss laws and regulations, equipment, scouting, hunting methods and tactics, shot placements, and what to do after the shot. In the afternoon we'll take to the range to learn about firearms and ammunition selection, with plenty of time to practice patterning a variety of shotguns.

This workshop takes place in Augusta and Auburn on two different dates in April. Must be at least 12 to participate in live fire. All firearms and ammunition will be provided.
