"Went here for a day of skeet shooting for my buddies bachelor party and it was a BLAST!!! Denise was a ton of fun and a great instructor. She did an amazing job of preaching the importance of safety while still letting us enjoy ourselves. I would recommend coming here for their clay shooting to anybody.
