Mountain Hunters — Rifle Course
Instructor team
Combat-tested precision shooters and veteran instructors. All courses are led by experienced veterans and
first responders who teach practical field skills to the public.
Overview
This two-day Mountain Hunters Rifle Course is built to prepare hunters for real Rocky Mountain conditions. Bring your rifle, ammo, and field sense — we’ll put you to work at 7,800 ft on varied terrain to sharpen long-range marksmanship, wind reading, and decision-making under pressure. Meals (lunch and dinner) are provided to keep the team focused and learning together.
How your fee helps
Course fees support Overwatch 6 programs that provide access to licensed providers and accredited treatment programs for veterans and first responders. OW6 does not provide medical treatment; when financial assistance is granted, OW6 pays providers or programs directly on behalf of approved participants. (OW6 is a Wyoming nonprofit pending IRS 501(c)(3) determination.)
