NSCA Certified Level 1 Sporting Clays Instructor
“In 2008 I was certified as a Level 1 Sporting Clays Instructor by the National Sporting Clays Association. Since then I have been instructing all levels of shooters from beginner to tournament shooter. I instruct individuals, families, husbands and wives, and groups. I work to increase your ability to hit the target and enjoy shooting sporting clays.”
NSCA Level I Instructor
“I started shooting at the age of 7 following my father around the shooting range. Over the past 45+ years I have placed at the state and national level, most notably becoming the Colorado State Champion 5 different years and becoming the National Pump and Side by Side Champion. My favorite part of shooting is spending time with my family at most shoots and introducing new shooters to my passion.”

Team GunDogs also provides boarding for any period of time, with exercise and/or training included for an additional charge.
