 Orvis Sandanona is a step back in time, to a place where the traditions of the field and the hunt are held in the highest regard, and where wingshooting is a passion that links the past with the present. This venerable sporting institution is the oldest permitted shotgun shooting club in the country, so old in fact, that the main lodge was built during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson.
Using its richly textured past as a foundation, Orvis Sandanona has built upon that history a thriving, modern sporting clays shooting ground; one that welcomes and accommodates corporate outings and large groups with the same vivacity as it does with individual guests. With a sporting clays course that is consistently ranked among the very best in the nation, Orvis Fly Fishing and Wingshooting Schools, and a fully-catered lodge facility that includes ample meeting space, Orvis Sandanona is the benchmark for both corporate recreation and individual sporting pursuits. We are open 363 days a year.

SPORTING CLAYS
 Sporting clays is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. In fact, Orvis was responsible for introducing one of the first prototype sporting clays shooting courses at its shooting school in Manchester, Vermont. The Sandanona shotgun course is recognized worldwide as one of the best and also was a leader in the development of sporting clays in this country. It was listed in Esquire magazine’s top 10 list of courses in the United States.
The 30-stand sporting clays course has been the site of numerous prestigious championships and the diversity of the course offers shooters an ever-changing challenge in shooting.
Shooting hours are between 9 am & 5 pm. Minimum reservation is for two people (single shooters MUST shoot a double round). In most cases the maximum number of people in one group is 5. Groups larger than 5 will be split into groups accordingly. Non-shooting observers are welcome, but we do not allow persons unattended on the sporting clays course. Children must be attended at all times, both on the sporting clays course and in the clubhouse.
Must be at least 12 years old to participate.

SHOOTING SCHOOL
 The Orvis Shotgun Shooting Schools were the first of their kind offered in the United States, and for over twenty-five years have offered shooters the finest wingshooting and hunting instruction available anywhere in the world.
Based on the English Churchill method, our instinctive approach to shotgunning offers both the novice and the seasoned veteran a complete shooting system that can be used for upland and waterfowl hunting and sporting clays. The fundamentals of the Orvis system include stance, footwork, gun handling, swing, visual concentration, proper gun mount, and correct fit of the gun stock.
The Orvis shotung shooting instructors are consummate professionals who are beside you at every shot quietly analyzing and improving your style.
In addition to firing hundreds of rounds of ammunition, each student participates in classroom instruction on basic shotgun safety, shotshell selection and shotgun patterning. Students are grouped together according to their level of skill and experience, and treated to a uniquely designed, fully automated instruction area that provides a full array of clay target angles.
The tuition includes a complimentary gunfitting to establish and record individual stock dimensions, comprehensive shooting instruction, all targets and ammunition, lunches each school day, and a copy of the Orvis Wingshooting Handbook. The use of an Orvis shotgun is available at no additional charge if desired.
Must be at least 12 years old to participate.
