Lanier Shooting Sports Lifestyles
This is a new column dedicated to recreational shotgun pursuits in both the clay target disciplines and the feathered kind. From the first moment I ever pulled the trigger of a shotgun, I loved it. I had to really work at it but I enjoyed it so much I was willing to do so. The more I shot, the more I wanted to learn. I took lessons from a variety of instructors and, over time, my skills evolved as did my passion for just about everything involving shotguns.

My love of travel has led me to many clay courses, as well as to Argentina shooting doves, South Carolina and Georgia to shoot quail, Oregon to shoot a mixed bag of birds and even Scotland to shoot driven pheasants. I was becoming acutely aware that this was a sport that had many wonderful places to shoot. Opportunities to shoot not only close to home, but at beautiful places all over the country, and the world for that matter.
Through these travels with friends and clients alike, I have had the great pleasure of meeting wonderful people and experiencing some great shooting destinations. I have watched these shooters grow both in proficiency with their shotguns and seen their passion for wingshooting come alive first hand.
I look forward to sharing not only great travel destinations, but all the fabulous gear and all that goes along with shooting adventures each month in Lanier Shooting Sports….Lifestyles.
To sum up the photos in this first issue, getting out and shooting is more fun “than should be legal.” See you next month with more photo adventures!
