course design

_DSC9426After seeing and shooting thousands of different target presentations over the course of his career David has also designed many different courses over all different types of terrain and backgrounds.

He has learned how to keep the targets close and slow utilizing the lay of the land or the trees and bushes to create fun and interesting target presentations. He says that fun targets are ones that you can see; too often we see targets that are meant to be a challenge and the only reason they are is because they are far and fast. David says that well set targets should give all shooters plenty of time to visually lock onto the target and create a strategy on how to break them, there should be several good places to shoot a target during its flight path. This way everyone has an opportunity, young or old to beginner or master.

David has designed the following , just to name a few :

  • City of Polo, Missouri – Fun Shoot at the park
  • Brush Creek Hunting Preserve, Mayview, Missouri –  monthly registered targets
  • Bird Fever Hunting Preserve, Richmond, Missouri –  sporting clays course design
