Traverse City, MI – (December 14th, 2022) IMPACT is an “experience” like no other. IMPACT Experience, a premier event company catering to the shooting sports industry, provides events specialized in all-terrain marksmanship training in partnership with FTW Ranch. IMPACT events are designed to be a stress-free experience for all levels hunters preparing for their next adventure, or shooters simply wishing to sharpen their skills with guidance from some of the best instructors in the world.

The IMPACT Experience event is focused on making certain that participants fully understand their rifle/optic as well as how to make necessary in-field adjustments.  Part of the IMPACT Experience is an offering of premier field-tested rifles and optics that are then “fit” to the participants who are guided through FTW’s SAAM Precision class by their elite instruction staff.  This hands-on training experience will provide participants the confidence of actually “using” and adjusting their equipment while understanding ethical yardages from various shooting positions in order to “Reach New Limits”.

IMPACT Experience events are also keenly targeted on assisting companies within and outside of the hunting and shooting sports industry. Custom IMPACT “experiences” can be implemented to focus on new product launch events, staff training, team building, as well as valuable time with select key accounts and customers.

“Having spent over 30 years in the consumer goods industry, I realized that a number of manufacturers did not recognize the value of a proper product launch strategy, impactful staff training or even creative ways of getting additional face time with key accounts and partners,” said Stephen Graham, Owner and Operator of IMPACT Experience.

So, whether you need a refresher on “Building Your House” or looking to further develop your skills individually or with a group, IMPACT and FTW are prepared to help you redefine your shooting limitations.  Very few ranges in the world compare to the training in the hill country of Texas across FTW Ranch’s 12,500 acres consisting of 32 ranges and over 1400 targets where instructors will have access to create most any scenario you will likely encounter.
