I wanted to do something special for my son’s 15th birthday. Neither of us have ever shot a gun of any kind, so I thought we’d learn sporting clays together. We had a blast! Jon made the whole experience very enjoyable with instructions that were easy to understand. Both of us were breaking clays consistently in short order. My son had the time of his life and hopes to shoot sporting clays in the very near future. I highly recommend Jon as an instructor.

We had a fantastic time at Fowler Farms with Jon as our guide. We had big group of 13 people - most were brand new to the sport. Jon provided a thorough safety lesson and good beginner lessons so that all were able to break some clays and have a fantastic time! Highly recommend if you are looking to take a big, beginner group out for sporting clays in the Asheville area.

I’ve been working with Jon for over a year now. I’ve shot sporting clays for several years but my scores plateaued long ago. I was shooting in the low 70’s when we started. On a good day I can now shoot in the mid-90’s. I started competing in tournaments last year and have gone from D Class to A Class in that time with Jon’s help. I am hoping to join Jon in Master Class in another year or so! I highly recommend Jon’s service to anyone.
