GROWING SEASONS
When I started working in the firearm industry three years ago, I had not yet devel oped a passion for hunting I did not grow up in an avid hunting family. My dad was a hunter, but hunting was his vacation each fall with his buddies. I was raised around firearms, though, and like many kids growing up in Minnesota, I shot old cans off fence posts at my grandparents’ farm.
Years later I accepted a position at Savage Arms, and I knew I’d need to learn more about shooting than just plinking. It was time to take my shooting education to a new level. I was blessed to spend an amazing couple days at the range under the instruction of Patrick Kelley, a world-class shooter, patient teacher and member of Team Savage. He helped me become comfortable operating all types of firearms, mounting and using optics, and properly shooting from different positions. He also stressed the importance of regular practice; his skills were the direct result of it.
