Reviews
"What a great place! Few of us went to Sandanona on the weekend, we were greeted very nicely by the ladies behind the counter. They made sure we had everything we needed to go out. We then met our guide, Rod Stewart, who was phenomenal. We had a couple new shooters in our party and he went out of his way to make sure they felt comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend him as your guide the next time you book! A++"
"Want to say Orvis knows there stuff. Best in Class. Dinning, shooting, staff are top notch. This experience is to truly be remembered. Most importantly I had the best trapper. Her name was Lindsay. Helpful, gave tips, and was like she was added to the group!!! Will be requesting her each time! Thank you Lindsay and the the rest of the Orvis team! Great job!"
"I took my boyfriend here for a fun surprise and we had the best time! We started with a late lunch at the cafe. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The service in the shop and during the reservation process was also perfect. I bought the Groupon for a one hour guided session, Erik was our teacher, and we had the best time. I couldn't recommend Erik enough. He was so professional, polite, and incredibly good at what he does. We would love to come back to take another class with him in the future!"
"I have been shooting here for well over 10 years. I finally bought a Family Membership this year and it has paid for itself 3x over already. I have never had a bad experience or a Grumpy Trapper. They are also very kid friendly. My son just turned 14 and has been consistently shooting north of the half-way mark."
"First Class Experience across the board. Beginner and intermediate shooters had a trapper and an instructor for the whole time. Great bonding, great instructing. A must go."
