This is an action-packed day on an established Pheasant Preserve!

Festivities start at 8:00AM at the farmhouse beginning with an all-you-can-eat farm fresh breakfast. Before heading up to the tower shoot area, shooters are paired in groups of twos and are given brief safety instructions.

Upon arrival at the tower release area, shooters will find twelve stations in a circle surrounded by towering evergreens. Pheasants are launched one-by-one from a 40-foot rock ledge allowing each station ample shooting opportunities. Be assured…this is a challenging rotating shoot for all.

Halfway through the tower shoot, shooters meet at the rock ledge, complete with fireplace, picnic tables and gun racks, for a hot lunch and then continue on to the final six stations.

At the conclusion of the tower shoot, dogs and handlers are provided for walk-up shoots to rustle up the ones that got away.

Package includes:
  • Tower Shoot, Walk-Up Shoot, Dogs & Handlers, Bird Cleaning
  • (22) Pheasants are released for every two shooters
  • Country Breakfast - Farm-fresh, home-cooked, and all-you-can-eat
  • Hot Lunch - Home-cooked and served at rock ledge
  • Roast Pork & Game Dinner - Served with all the trimmings
