Step into a one-of-a-kind Colorado shooting experience with our Sporting Clays course—often called “golf with a shotgun.” Set in a picturesque outdoor setting with sweeping mountain views, our clays course offers a fun, fast-paced challenge that’s perfect for both first-timers and experienced shooters.
You’ll rotate through multiple shooting stations that mimic real hunting scenarios—like birds flushing from brush or rabbits darting across open ground. It’s engaging, safe, and highly addictive. Our experienced instructors will coach you through the basics or help sharpen your technique, depending on your experience level.
