Orvis Always Delivers
I took the 2 day sporting clay course at Sandanona earlier in August with the expectation of picking up a new hobby for when fishing was slow. Little did I know that after the first day, I would be hooked and researching my first shotgun that evening. As usual, for an Orvis run facility, the staff and instructors were amazing and always professional. The grounds were immaculate, and I had a great time learning the proper way to shoot. An added bonus was meeting some great shooting partners in my class!
Today, I went to pick up my new gun fresh from the factory and had a first time shooter in tow for a round of the clay course. The craftsmanship and quality of the gun is fantastic and I am extremely happy with my purchase through Sandanona. Our trapper, Kevin, was equally fantastic; he not only provided a friendly and fun atmosphere, but also took the time to make sure my colleague was comfortable with shooting and provided assistance and guidance until he too was blasting clays out of the sky. You really can't go wrong with a morning or afternoon cruising the grounds. While it may be a little pricey (think greens fees at a nice golf course), you get what you pay for and that is an experience at a top notch facility that will make you want to come back again and again.

2 Day Wingshooting School
For some time now I wanted to take one of the Orvis Wingshooting Schools and I finally had the chance to do it. First of all is was definitely well worth the wait. As someone who also teaches people in manual skills I was very impressed in both their skill and patience. I have never met two better instructors than Jack & Joe. I came away from this school with a far greater understanding of Wingshooting and look forward taking what they have taught me and improving on my skills in the future.

Awesome experience
Shooting trap for over 20 years and finally decided to enroll in a program where I could 'learn' in a professional and supportive setting. This was a straight up fantastic program, The instruction and setting was everything I expected. A must for someone who is interested in fine tuning their skills and enjoying a great day.

And also....
Just an addendum to my last post. I made an error and misspelled one the instructor's names. It Joe Waasi, not Joe Stassi. Sorry bout that. Yesterday, my brother and I came back yesterday to shoot 100+ rounds each and I learned 2 things. You need to practice, practice and practice your proper shooting form, if you want to have any hope of getting good at this sport and this is a classy place to do just that.
Also, I can see why the 2 day school - if you can go for the extra $$ and have the time, is so preferable to the 1 day class; it simply and immediately reinforces what you've learned on the first day. But either class will be a most pleasant, memorable and enjoyable experience.

Wonderful experience
I attended the 1 day class at the Sandanona school yesterday with my brother and will echo what others have said. Our instructors - Joe Staasi and Andy McDermott, couldn't have been more helpful and the wealth of knowledge they imparted is amazing. Rank beginners to experienced shooters can benefit from this program or with enough time allowed, the 2 day course. Too many accolades to mention, simply put, if you are on the fence about attending, just do it. A memorable experience.

I know that my shooting skills have been be greatly enhanced through this class. Very worthwhile to any field hunter or sporting clay enthusiast who wants to increase their success in and their enjoyment of the sport.

a bang-up weekend
My daughter and I walked around Gamefair for a day this past September (highly recommended); she had a chance to shoot clays under the watchful eye of Jack Neubauer. Returned the next weekend for two days of instruction with Jack and Joe. The birds back home evidently never received the news, and the first two to flush, when I returned to my home fields, went into my bag as a "double." Never was there so sweet a compliment as when Jack said "Nice shootin'" on my having run a stand. Thanks, fellers.

Rifle shooter converted!
All Marines are riflemen...now maybe this one is a wingshooter.
This was a superb course of instruction. I was looking for a shooting sport that I could get my wife and family into. Outside the military, I have never been to a more professionally run course. The instructors are not only excellent instructors who clearly know wingshooting, they are interesting people as well from varied backgrounds.
You will shoot quite a bit. I was in rotation with my wife and son and I easily had well over 100 shots.
No politics...just shooting. By the end of the day, I was making shots I had never even imagined making before. Most importantly to me, my wife and son (who hit many more targets than me, who knew?) had a great time and looking forward to shooting again.
I highly recommend.
