Shooting Instruction at Peaceable Hill

For over three decades, Lars Jacob has taught the fine art of wingshooting. His unique approach to “instinctive shooting” makes shooting relaxing, comfortable, and instills confidence, whether wing or clay. Having worked with thousands of individuals, Lars knows we do not come out of a textbook. Instead of dismissing one’s bias toward certain methods, Lars works with the shooter’s bias and teaches them how to accentuate the good habits and change the bad ones.

The Peaceable Hill Preserve instructional field is equipped with four wobble traps, a high tower, and several fixed traps throwing for countless presentations. An elevated shooting platform with benches and gun racks creates a comfortable learning area and lends to the already stunning views. A pattern plate and gun-fitting area are also available for when it is time to take wingshooting to the next level.
