Wingshooting Lessons
For the avid wing shooter, few things compare with the satisfaction of a successful day in the field, and few things can match the frustration of missing a bird that should have been an easy shot. Although anyone can have an ‘off day’, but when the problem occurs again and again, it is time to consider a lesson with us at Sandy Oaks Ranch.
Clients are tutored utilizing wingshooting (sporting clay) techniques that quickly and dramatically improve shooting skills. This method is based upon several fundamental principles – correct shooter posture/stance, proper gun mounting, and target concentration.
Gun Fitting & Patterning Board
A gun that fits properly will shoot precisely where the shooter is looking. Fitting a gun really means alteration of the gun stock. Shooters are often astounded by visual proof on our patterning board. Packages include individual/private hours, sporting clays groups, and corporate promotional days.
The Shooting Pavilion
Our shooting facilities have been designed to provide the best in practice and shooting activities. It also serves as an additional event space with both a covered outdoor pavilion and indoor climate controlled facility.
- 7,700 square foot outdoor covered pavilion
- 6' x 15' - 3 tap keg serving bar
- Four televisions & public announcement (PA) system
- 225 square foot climate control room & restrooms
