Advanced Live-fire Training Courses

Safety in Bear Country 

Working in wilderness areas can be unforgiving. If your organization works in a remote area, you may be in the backyard of some dangerous animals. There are a lot of myths about bear encounters and there is little room for outdated techniques or options that may not work when you need them. Learn to how spot an attack before it happens; how to deter bears using noisemakers' or bear spray and learn how to keep yourself and your fellow employees alive should a sudden attack happen.Safety in Bear Country can be structured anywhere from a one hour presentation to provide some simple tips for staying safe in bear country, to a full day of classroom and live-fire training.

Vertically-Integrated Safety
Vertically-Integrated Safety in Bear Country forms a comprehensive program of employee safety when paired with two to three days of the Canadian Firearms Safety Course that meets the Canadian requirements to apply for a Possession and Acquisition Licence, plus half a day of bear awareness and half a day of live-fire shotgun training.

Live-fire Shotgun Training
Live-fire Shotgun Training uses techniques specifically designed for practical use in wilderness areas by the average person in the middle of a stressful situation. This is not the place for skills developed by target shooters or game players, nor techniques more applicable to experienced hunters. Bears do not politely stand still, nor do they provide advance warning of predatory behaviour. Employees who live and work in bear country can suddenly be thrust into a life-threatening situation during a bear attack that will be quick, violent and over in a heartbeat.
