The Story

Learn from the best at the Orvis Two-Day Quail School on your wingshooting trip to Prairie Wildlife in West Point, Mississippi. This quail school starts with the basics of gun safety, gun selection, and the instinctive method of shotgun shooting that we teach at Orvis. From there, we move outside where we put those techniques to work. We work on stance, gun mount, target focus, and follow-through. These are the elements that make you an effective and efficient wingshooter. You will then walk with the instructor as you come up on mimicked points, where you will experience singles and multiple bird presentations. By the end of these sessions, students will be ready to put the skills they've acquired and accomplished to work. You will go to the field with an Orvis-Endorsed guide as well as a qualified wingshooting instructor. There, you will execute the skills you have acquired over our well-trained bird dogs that love their job. It is suggested that you take advantage of the comfortable lodging and fine dining Prairie Wildlife has to offer on the property.

Prairie Wildlife is excited to offer a unique opportunity for anyone interested in becoming an upland bird hunter. The Orvis Two-Day Quail School at Prairie Wildlife is perfect for those who are new to bird hunting, or those who are interested in homing in on their understanding of the quail-hunting experience.

Orvis is pleased to offer our travel customers access to two valuable services: Global Rescue travel membership and IMG Signature Travel Insurance℠.
