Safety
Safety is our top priority. A full safety brief and range rules will be reviewed before any handling or live-fire.
Our Woman's Marksmanship session will be taught by TJ Kliparchuk, owner of the Alberta Outdoors Academy.With a background in conservation enforcement, TJ is a seasoned outdoorsman and educator who has spent decades refining his skills, so you don’t have to learn the hard way. He’s been fishing since the age of three and hunting since eight, with over 20 years of backwoods camping experience.
TJ is a certified hunting instructor, Canadian Firearms Safety Course instructor, shotgun coach, range officer, and former television personality on several outdoor shows. His expertise spans tracking and blood trailing, whitetail and predator behaviour, fishing techniques, marksmanship, and conservation practices.
Passionate about sharing knowledge, TJ helps people build the confidence and skills they need to truly enjoy the outdoors.
