Orvis Shooting School - July 23rd through October 19th
Novices and seasoned veterans can take advantage of our instinctive approach to shotgunning, based on
the English Churchill method. Enjoy a complete shooting system applicable to upland hunting,
waterfowling, and sporting clays. A key component of our teaching method includes grouping students
together according to their levels of ability and experience. By doing this, we can give all students
a sensible starting point and then help them progress through the various clay target venues with
positive results. Our courses include:
- Individual Wingshooting Instruction: Instruction includes the use of an Orvis shotgun (subject to availability). Price for one shooter is $175 per hour, and additional shooters are $25 each. Price does not include ammunition. Shooters must be at least 14 years old.
- Two Day Workshops: To offer students a total shooting experience, targets are launched from one of the country's best-planned collections of automatic and manual traps. Stations have been set up to simulate a wide variety of typical field shots -- including upland-type going-away and crossing angles, driven-style (high and low) incoming target presentations, and dove / waterfowl pass shooting situations. Instruction includes the use of an Orvis shotgun.
