Sylacauga, Alabama Wingshooting School

The Orvis Wingshooting Schools were the first of their kind offered in the United States, and for more than 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 as well as 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.

Make sure to bring the family along when you come. In addition the beautiful lakes and ponds on the property, you and your family can take advantage of the new sporting clays course or play golf at Alabama's #1 ranked public access golf course. The grounds have something for everyone.

You'll cover it all at the Alabama Wingshooting School at Pursell Farms:

• Basic shotgun safety
• How to mount a shotgun so you will shoot exactly where you're looking
• How to shoot all types of clays scenarios: going away, crossing, low incomers, singles, and doubles
• Proper stance
• Proper shotgun fit

The Orvis 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 are treated to a uniquely designed, fully automated instruction area that provides a full array of clay target angles.

The tuition includes 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. A complimentary gun fitting to establish and record individual stock dimensions is also available for students participating in the two-day school at this location.
