What we do
Training & Development

Testimonials
“Overall I thought Dave covered many topics in the 2 day course. We learnt how to firstly be safe around firearms. Sighting in a scope. Cleaning a rifle (several different ways). Finally we learnt how to safely load a rifle and shoot a firearm in a way that is most humane for the animal. “
“I would highly recommend Dave at Morningstar Training. “
