Sporting Clays-skolan på Orvis Sandanona Shooting Grounds, NY

I was nervous about my stance going in, but the instructors here break everything down so clearly that by the end of the first afternoon I was confidently breaking targets I’d always struggled with. The hands-on format at this specific New York grounds is worth the drive.

The hands-on format is exactly what I needed—getting immediate feedback on my stance while breaking targets made the lessons stick way better than watching videos. Left the grounds feeling like I finally trust my swing on the sporting clays course.

Drove up from the city on a Saturday not knowing what to expect, and the hands-on format had me breaking targets I’d been missing for months by the end of the session. The instructors broke down my stance and swing in a way that actually stuck with me. Worth every mile of the trip.
