At request we can arrange courses in rifle use and a run-down of methods to alert against and warn off visiting polar bears. There is little point in carrying a rifle if you don't have sufficient training in how to use it. Furthermore, shooting a polar bear should be considered an absolute last resort. We are all visitors in Svalbard and the polar bear has been legally protected since the 1970s. The course guide will not only train practical firearm skills, but will teach and explain necessary skills in correct and safe behaviour when in contact with bears.
