Reviews
- John Pozar·
Craig's instructions are clear and logical. He's a good teacher!
- Steve Blackwood·
Vandy is such a good instructor. She is patient and so good at pointing me in the right direction. I am improving with each lesson.
- Brandy Knight·
Had my first sporting clays lesson with Craig Miya today and it was awesome! Craig is an excellent instructor. Coming from a Bunker Trap and Skeet background he was able to teach me the other methods that I really wanted to learn pull away and swing through and when to apply them. I have been a sustained lead shooter in sporting clays mainly due to my skeet background until now. By the end of the 2 hour lesson I was applying all the methods with control and confidence. True pairs with first target being taken with swing through and second target with pull away or what ever the pairs called for. It was a great session with Craig and can’t wait to get out and apply what I learned today. The staff and facility is second to none definitely the best in the northwest. PS. If you book a 2hr lesson prepare to get a lot of trigger time and see a lot of great target presentations. Thank you Dave, Vandy and Craig for a great day.
- Scott Strong·
Vandy is a fantastic instructor, truly a great teacher! I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience at Mid-Valley Clays and Shooting. I hadn’t shot much in several years so we started with the basics and she had me breaking clays and feeling comfortable in short order. MVCS is a very nice facility and I was made to feel welcome, safe and at ease during my learning. Highly recommend.
- Trevor Jacobson·
My brother and I - both complete novices with shotguns, took a lesson from Vandy and it was a fantastic experience. She was extremely patient and really took the time to evaluate where we were and how she could best help us each find some success.
Highly recommend!!! - Heather Warren·
My husband and I have done a few buddy lessons with Vandy. She is a rockstar! So knowledgeable and such a great teacher! Not only that but everyone at Mid Valley has been positive and friendly and the facility is such a lovely way to spend a weekend.
