Upland wingshooting for grouse with gundogs

Journey Afield 

Welcome to Journey Afield where we hope to inspire others to enjoy the outdoors, and for those keen to pursue wing shooting activities, we provide clay shooting lessons and wing shooting instruction in Alberta, Canada. We tailor lessons to individual needs and, break down perceived barriers to make wing shooting more approachable. Confidence comes from consistency, and we work with participants to heighten their ability to progress as a shot.

We all have days when we’re ‘off our game’ and, if dwelled upon, this can lead to the dreaded slump!

A solid shooting foundation helps us understand why misses occur, and when combined with self reflection, provides a reliable path to get back on track and shooting with trust. Without development of these skills, and the insight to apply them consistently, we have nothing to fall back upon when doubt creeps in. And, it will creep in!

Clay shooting lessons and wingshooting instruction with Journey Afield
My daughter had a shooting lesson with Doug yesterday that exceeded all our expectations. - - - The session was so accessible and Doug’s style of teaching is exceptional. My daughter got the perfect shooting introduction, I learnt a lot from watching and am looking forward to my own lesson!
