Just over five years ago Aaron’s accident occurred and changed his life forever. After warming up his shot on clay pigeons he was ready to show us how it was done.
We have a few individuals who are interested in hunting with Second Shot this season and we’re excited to try and fit them all in the schedule. Our first hunt is coming up fast in less than two weeks! We have worked with a number of clients who have needed physical accommodations to make the experience successful. Here are our tips to those interested in getting involved or want to lead their own adaptive hunt.

Who says that you can’t look good while hunting?! Not me, that’s for sure. Of course you need to think about the weather and what type of hunting you’ll be doing, but surprisingly there’s some good looking hunting apparel out there! Let’s take a look at tops/bottoms, hats and shoes (every girl’s favorite).
My personal experience meeting and spending a short weekend with Chris Gallegos was nothing short of inspiring.
