Beginner to Advanced Shooter Instruction
Our instructors can help improve the beginning to advanced shooter. If you have never shot a shotgun or sporting clays before, we encourage you to spend some time with one of our instructors to review gun safety and the fundamentals of how to shoot Sporting Clays. It will make your experience much more enjoyable. For the intermediate to advanced shooter, an instructor can likely improve your scores through close examination of your stance, move, mount, hold point, etc. Instructors should be scheduled in advance and contacted directly via the information below.
