1-Day School
9:00 | Arrival at Sandanona Clubhouse - make yourself at home with a snack and a cup of coffee or tea. |
9:15 | Instructor introductions – Our team of instructors will introduce themselves and outline the agenda for the day. At this point we will also conduct student evaluations, establishing what specific experience you are hoping to have, and what skills you hope to gain. This segment is followed by a screening of our wingshooting video and a safety briefing, ensuring confidence that the shooting to come will be both safe and enjoyable. |
10:00 | Students and instructors work in shooting instruction areas – This session will take students through the arc of the Orvis Instinctive Method of Wingshooting. Students will learn proper technique and application of the method as they break clay targets that mimic real-life bird presentations. Repetition, assessment, and practice will build confidence and muscle memory. |
Noon | Lunch in the Sandanona Clubhouse. |
1:00 | Students paired with instructors and field guides then depart to hunting grounds for a 2-hour walk-up field hunt – In this segment, students enter the beautiful hunting fields of Orvis Sandanona in the company of an instructor, a professional field guide, and a team of gundogs. The instructor remains at your side as you learn to navigate the cover, efficiently approach the dogs, and take safe and ethical shots on chukar partridge and ring-necked pheasants. All the while the instructor will share feedback and direction, ensuring that your experience is paced and orchestrated according to your needs. |
3:00 | End of day – At the end of the field hunt, students will return to the clubhouse to address final questions and receive the birds that were harvested if desired. An overview of bird processing can be requested if students wish to gain those skills. |
