The Experience
Take aim at the sporting life as you test your skills in our 18-stand sporting clay course. Our experienced instructors teach a foundation of etiquette and technique while providing plenty of challenges to improve your mastery of the sport. In keeping with our deep commitment to the environment, all of our clay discs are biodegradable so that they don't pollute the Earth, our ammunition is specially ordered from Europe to include paper wads, rather than plastic wads, and all bullet casings are recycled.
