Whether you’re new to sporting clays or have been shooting for years, our recommended instructors can help you out! We’ve vetted these folks and trust they’ll improve your game. Each instructor has a different focus, style, and personality, so please contact each of them directly to discuss your needs and make your choice.
Our instructors determine their own pricing and scheduling. You’ll pay your instructor for the lesson and Kiowa Creek for the targets used.
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.”

Certified NRA Instructor
“As a Masterclass sporting clays shooter and NSCA level 2 instructor, I have found an innovative approach that takes your style of shooting and makes the targets slower and easier while bringing out your natural talent. These are some of the basic fundamentals that I teach that can accelerate the learning curve.”

While Kiowa Creek does not board or train dogs directly, we do have an on-site professional who provides these services.

Services available are on site boarding (all dogs welcome, not just hunting companions!), monthly board & train programs, or one-on-one hourly training for dog and owner at any level of experience. Dennis Vanin is also still around and performing training on a limited basis for clients here at Creekside Kennels.
