I contacted the Deer HUB because I was looking to take up deer stalking. The provenance of the food I eat is important to me, so ultimately, I wanted to be able to put food I had shot, butchered and prepared myself on the table for me and my family to eat. The Foundation Skills course was very comprehensive and has really given me a great start on my quest. I now look forward to going out stalking and developing my skills further with the Deer HUB team.
The Foundation Skills course that the Deer HUB delivers is so much more than just an ordinary training course. With one on one tuition, I now feel much more confidence with my rifle shooting and along with the new knowledge I have gained, am now excited about putting my new skills to the test in the field. The training was delivered with the utmost professionalism and is definitely the best training course I have ever attended; I cannot speak highly enough about the whole experience.
From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by James with a big smile and a warm welcome. His approach was personable, patient and engaging. Although I had been on several deer stalking outings over the years, I soon discovered that I knew very little. I am pleased to say that the training has firmly put me on the right course and the shooting skills/knowledge I gained will stay with me for the rest of my life. I now feel far more confident – thank you James.
