If you are a serious shooter, your Sporting Clays or Wingshooting lessons will be tailored to move your shooting forward in the most direct manner. We'll take the time to talk with you to discuss what kind of instruction you are looking for, where you are with your shooting and what your goals are.  If you wish to proceed, we'll schedule your Sporting Clays or Wingshooting lesson(s) and go over the details of what you can expect from your time with Dan and what you need to bring. At the end of your lesson(s), you will be given a personal practice plan emphasizing what and what not to practice.

Just wanted to write you a quick note to say how much both Monica and I really enjoyed the last three days with you. Clearly you have the gift of teaching and we both found your instructions simple and easy to follow. You can tell that you care for your students. I particularly want to thank you for the gentle and loving way you we're always looking out for Monica and aware of her tiredness and pain level.
