 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. See the Orvis Sandanona video on CNN Orvis Sandanona Anniversary The oldest permitted sporting clays and shotgun shooting club in the country celebrates 100 years. |

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. |

In addition to firing hundreds of rounds of ammunition, each student participates in classroom instruction on basic shotgun safety, shotshell selection and shotgun patterning.
