THAT'S THE ORVIS WAY.
In the rolling countryside of Central New York, a storied family farm has been reimagined as one of the region’s most distinguished sporting destinations — Vernon National Shooting Preserve. Here, timeless tradition meets exceptional sport, offering guests the thrill of world-class pheasant hunting, challenging sporting clays, fine firearm sales, and an array of premium amenities.
For more than 25 years, Vernon National Shooting Preserve has welcomed sportspeople from near and far, providing both members and guests with a setting that blends rustic charm and modern excellence. Our status as an Orvis-Endorsed Hunting Grounds Facility is a mark of distinction—a promise that every visit will be defined by superior service, impeccable grounds, and an unforgettable experience.
Whether you join us for a day hunt, a weekend immersed in the countryside, or an all-day Continental Tower Shoot, Vernon National offers sporting opportunities for every level of enthusiast. For those seeking year-round access, our exclusive Unlimited Access Pheasant Membership allows you to hunt at your leisure throughout the season. Birds are pre-released regularly to ensure prime conditions, with additional releases available upon request. Membership also includes use of training fields in the off-season, along with member privileges and preferred pricing across club facilities—from the Pro Shop to clay sports, and the rifle and pistol ranges.
As the preserve season approaches, secure your hunt today and prepare to immerse yourself in a sporting tradition where every moment is crafted to be remembered.
Orvis is pleased to offer our travel customers access to two valuable services: Global Rescue travel membership and IMG Signature Travel Insurance℠.

Located in the rolling hills of central New York, near the top of Oneida County, Vernon National sits on an old family farm ideally suited for upland hunting. The property spans more than 600 acres, with an additional hundred acres leased from neighboring land. The varied terrain includes rolling hills, pine stands, hedgerows, old apple orchards, and hardwoods. Expansive fields are naturally divided by the landscape, with some offering spectacular views of the countryside.
Each hunt is designated to one or more of our 20- to 30-acre fields, giving you plenty of room to work birds and pursue that one that got away. Cover varies annually and may include corn, wild grasses, sunflowers, and other natural habitats designed to provide excellent bird-hunting conditions.
While you’re here, plan to enjoy the many other sporting opportunities at Vernon National. During hunting season, our renowned Stone Fence Sporting Clays Course is closed, but you can test your skills on the original Ravine Course, winding along two deep ravines with a diverse set of challenging targets. Step onto the historic 5-Stand, where Vernon National first entered the clay shooting world, and be challenged by eight unique traps in a shaded woodland setting. For those looking to sharpen their aim, our pistol range remains open year-round and features numerous steel targets, along with opportunities to sight-in rifles out to 150 yards.
At Vernon National, multiple packages are available, though we always recommend speaking with our staff to design the hunt that best fits your goals. Below are some of our standard offerings. For the most up-to-date details, visit vernonnational.com.
