Pacific Shotgun Academy
Welcome to the Pacific Shotgun Academy website and we appreciate your interest. In the following pages you will learn about us, and how we are striving to bring affordable shotgunning to the west coast. This includes opportunities for both shooters and sporting clays clubs alike.
Latest Highlights:
It is official: Quail Point Hunt Club has been awarded the 2013 California State Shoot! We will spend the next year trying out different areas that we think are best suited to throw superb targets at our facility. The 2012 Pautzke, "Soft but Satisfying Shoot" will most likely be an area used for a Main Event Course. More information coming soon.
2012 Pautzke, "Soft but Satisfying Shoot" is on Saturday June 30th. This is our version of "easy" in the Quail Point Trees located northwest of the clubhouse. We fully expect to see lots of scores in the 90s. There will be side events including 12 gauge, pump, SxS and subgauge offerings. Click the title above for more information.
2012 Prestate FITASC/5-Stand Challenge Results go to the Results Page. We had 44 people brave the wind and join us. Wind speeds in the surrounding lowlands (Woodland) had wind speeds of 30 mph just prior to shoot time. Those shooting early atop the Quail Point hills found wind speeds to significantly higher at times.
For those of you who have won either 1940s Walking Liberty Half Dollars or the 1881 Morgan Silver Dollar... they are waiting safely for your return.
FITASC/5-Stand Shootoffs will be held after lunch of the Pautzke Soft but Satisfying event on our new Shoot Off Venue.
M1: Richard McCready vs Jim Crouse
A1: Ted Conrad vs Cyndy Vogl vs Hal Beaver

Good news: Over the winter we purchased wireless trap equipment from LongRange Wireless. This is truly state of the art "pull cords" which allow for us to move machines quickly to a lot of different areas. At the same time they are wonderful for SOLO SHOOTERS as they are able to simulate report pairs. This will help Quail Point become California's premier Sporting Clay Training Center:
More news: We have 20 more Laporte Traps arrived in early March. This will give us the ability to run two course. For weekly shooting this has allowed us to have a Hunters course as well as a Target Shooters Course.
Training Sessions: We have set up a couple training areas for both our competitive shooters AND our hunters. With hunting seasons right around the corner its that time to get the new and old hunters warmed up. Nothing worse than being on the "X" but unable to connect. We WILL be able to make you a more effective shotgunner!
Duck Club Flurries and 5-Stands: Interested in bringing the warm up/fun clay shooting to your club? Let us help by bringing in the best machines on the market on our specially designed carts to give you the closest thing to live birds that doesn't require plucking feathers. We are set for a couple duck clubs for pre-season shoots already, so call early and we will put you on the calendar.
