Shotguns, golf carts and whiskey…sweet! This is a trip like no other. Join us for an exciting day of sporting clay shooting and whiskey tasting and relive the glory days of the Wild West. We’ll start the morning off with a 2-hour guided session of sporting clay shooting with nationally acclaimed instructors.

Imagine heading around a course with golf carts, only instead of hitting balls you’re crushing flying clay targets with a 12-gauge shotgun. As the clay targets fly, our expert guides (the lead instructor has been written up in Forbes as one of the country’s top shooting instructors) will teach you how to hold and fire the shotguns to ensure you blast the targets every time!

After a couple of hours, we’ll finish off with a shoot-out and then (once the guns are put away) head down to a picturesque whiskey distillery. Here we’ll have a picnic lunch overlooking the flowing river, then step inside to enjoy a private tour of the facility and see how they hand-make the whiskey before trying a few different whiskeys and vodkas. This is truly a unique trip and one that you’ll never forget.
