Then go to the ready area, they have 2 minutes 30 seconds to run to the firing station shoot their targets, run back to the ready area and tag their team member which runs to a different firing station and clear the second set of targets. Then she must run back to the ready area and tag the final member that must run to the first firing station and clear the targets before the time / buzzer sounds off.

A special thanks to all that made this possible for these boys. This was truly a great experience for them that they will remember for a long time.

Congratulations to the participants: Trapper Hooten, Gideon Luck, and Zachary Ramsey. We are very proud of you!!!!!

What a great evening hunting. This is what we have so far and we are still waiting for some kids to come in.

Monday Afternoon:

We have spent the afternoon so far with work on all 4 positions: prone, sitting, kneeling, standing
at the range by the lodge. They have been shooting the 100 yard target. At 4pm, they will head to the shed to clean their guns before going out to hunt again at 4:30pm. They will come in from hunting around 7pm. Supper will be at 8pm. I have a feeling these guys are going to be a little tired on Wed morn.

SAAM Training FTW Ranch

Out of the 8 kids, two came home with axis does this morning. Trapper killed a huge doe and Jessica from Happy Hills in Granbury killed a smaller doe. It was a first kill for Jessica. The first time she has ever picked up a gun was Saturday. The other kids will go back out again this after noon.

It is Monday morning, the boys are all out hunting for Axis does and Wild Hogs , we are waiting for them to come back in with the guides, so no pics yet. I am fixing to post some more from yesterday. Zach & Trapper got slighted on pics yesterday. Everyone was split up and Gideon was the only one left with me, so I did not get pics on them.

Will work on fixing that today!!
