TESTIMONIALS

“I recently took my 12 year old daughter and 19 year old son to shooting instruction with Doug Erck.  Both had no previous shotgun experience.  Within 30 minutes Doug had them both busting clays.  Doug has a very professional and easy going manner of instruction that completely reduced any stress and allowed for a very enjoyable afternoon.  I would completely recommend anyone who would like to learn how to use a shotgun, to get a lesson from Doug.”  Steve Wade

“You helped me realize in one hour that I have been doing it wrong for 30 years.  I am looking forward to getting in the field and enjoying what you have taught me.  What impressed Rita the most was one particular comment you made during a lesson, and I think any woman might agree.  You said if she wasn’t breaking targets it was your fault, not hers.  Rita is pretty hard on herself, and as silly as it sounds, your ownership of the student/teacher relationship helped her relax.  As I remember she smoked several targets shortly afterward.” --- Lin and Rita Cook

“I can vouch (as can many others) for Doug’s prowess in improving both the accuracy and fun of shot-gunning.  My 14 year old and I are much closer to being ready for a successful dove season (hopefully, without spending a small fortune on ammo).”  --- John Montgomery

“Doug got my daughter through her apprehensions and turned her into an enthused shooter in one lesson, and knew just how to encourage and motivate her.”  --- Dave Peterson

“First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to teach me a new skill in shooting.  I am 49 and all my life I have wanted to sit under someone to teach me wing shooting.  I have never had anyone teach me like you did yesterday.  I had a blast!” – Ronney Pope

“My two teenage sons and I had a blast (literally) with Doug.  All of us are basically beginners and we were able to take the simple concepts he taught us and start hitting targets right away. We can’t wait to do it again!” --- Steve VanHuss

“I’m one of those old shotgun guys that never had any training before our lessons with Doug.  His style and relaxed manner worked for both my 14 year old and myself. Thank goodness for kids!” --- Bill Wilson
