Orvis Hill Country is thrilled to offer a unique learning opportunity for anyone interested in becoming an upland bird hunter!
The Complete Upland Hunting School at Orvis Hill Country is an incredible resource for those who are entirely new to bird hunting, or for those interested in honing their understanding of the field hunting experience. This course divides the educational focus into two parts: in the first, aspiring students are introduced to the basics of wingshooting including shotgun selection, safe gun handling, and effective technique as outlined by the Orvis Instinctive Method of shotgunning. From there, students apply the skills learned on the clays course to actual upland field hunts over working gundogs. Professional guides and instructors will be at each student's side every step of the way to provide a safe and enjoyable entry into the wonderful world of upland bird hunting.
The Orvis Complete Upland Schools represent one of the most unique opportunities available for aspiring upland hunters.
