The pursuit of winged game is a life-style as well as a hunt, so we’ll discuss topics that will help make you feel more confident taking part - especially if you’re new to winged game! We’ll engage you in the ethos of the hunt from etiquette in the field, to unwritten dress codes and what not to wear, loads and chokes, and safety with other Guns and around dogs. The focus will be on upland game birds, although the shooting techniques are equally applicable to waterfowl as well.
On a practical level you’ll learn to anticipate and execute the shot, enabling you to feel connected to the bird with more time than you thought possible. There’s plenty of hands-on practice with simulated hunting scenarios ensuring you gain practical skills.
This course is suited for those with a background in shotgun shooting and now wish to progress to winged game. If you’re unsure if this course fits with your skill level, we can have a free video chat to help guide you toward the clinic (or lesson) that fits your needs best.
You can expect to shoot 100-200 rounds - bring your own ammo (available for purchase on site).
Dress for the weather and bring both ear and eye protection, as well as a range bag or similar to carry your ammo, etc.
Registration fee - $265 per person, plus target fees.
