Please note, we expect this particular trip to fill up fast. Take advantage of this rare opportunity for one of the most enjoyable high-volume shoots of a lifetime.

We have been able to attract the best of the television outdoor shows, including The Shotgun Journal with Bruce Scott and Marty Fischer, who did two shows on ducks and pigeons with us, and Tom Knapp of Benelli’s American Bird Hunter, who did two great dove shows and is coming back this year to do two, or more, duck, pigeon, and perdiz shows.

We recently hosted the “Divas, Women Outdoors Worldwide” with President Judy Rhodes at El Cortijo lodge, and to say they all had a good time would be an understatement. Regular Shotgun Life readers would know of Judy from the articles about her that have appeared.

Griffin and Howe, the fine gun company, recently hosted 10 shooters at the first of what we hope will be a number of live field seminars with their chief shooting instructor, Allen Pana. Good shooting was had by all and the quality of instruction in a genuine high volume setting was unbeatable. For all of you who genuinely want to become incredible field shots, this is an event really worth considering.

With our excellent track record in attracting great shooters, we expect our
“Hunting With Hank” shoot to fill up quickly. For more information, or to book your trip, please contact:

"Helping make your wing shooting dream a reality"

Argentina Doves with Shooting Sportsman

*** Offer ***
The adventures begin when we in the States are about the farthest removed from wingshooting as we are at any time of year: during the dog days of summer. From August 19 to 23 we'll host four days of dove shooting at SYC Sporting Adventures' Estancia El Cortijo. On day one guests will be met in the morning at the Cordoba airport and then driven to the estancia, where they will settle in before heading to the field for an afternoon shoot. Following that come three full days of shooting, mornings and afternoons, and then a final morning session on the day before the return to the airport.

The cost of $2,658 per Gun includes ground transportation, all-inclusive lodging in double-occupancy rooms, hunting licenses, professional guides, all field and lodge gratuities, the import fee for one shotgun, and the first 1,000 rounds of ammunition. Not included are airfare, import fees for additional guns ($100 per) or gun-rental fees ($25 per day). Additional shells will cost $12 per box.

The game is the challenging eared dove, and Cordoba's population is said to number more than 50 million. In August the shooting is for birds traveling to and from roosts.

El Cortijo is a five-star resort replete with a Jacuzzi, heated pool, satellite television, and a computer room with Internet access. All of the bedrooms have private baths. The food is excellent and includes a wide range of Argentinean dishes accompanied by a selection of fine wines.
