Raised in a hunting household, I have been around firearms all my life. Eventually Dad started a shooting range on our farm in rural Indiana where I pulled countless rounds of trap, skeet, and our version of 5-stand. About fifteen years later, I picked up my 20ga Ithaca O/U and started shooting 5-stand regularly, moved to a 12ga Churchill and slowly got into competitive sporting clays. That led to sitting in a blind each fall/winter watching ducks and geese drop from the sky and my Chessie retrieving them. Nothing’s more important than smiling, laughing and being there for your family and friends.
What Kim’s students are saying…
— We took the shotgun course because we were burning through way too many shells while duck hunting, and it was absolutely worth it. Kim was a phenomenal instructor—knowledgeable, attentive, safety‑focused, and truly fun to work with. She really listens and tailored the session to everything we needed, from waterfowl technique to shooting together as a family. We had a great time, improved a ton, and will definitely be back!
Dirk M.
— As an avid waterfowl hunter I’m no stranger to shotguns, but I was having a hard time hitting the targets, so I booked a lesson mid-season with Kim. She was absolutely phenomenal! I learned more from her in an hour than I have the last 3 years of hunting. She listened to my wants and goals, and tailored the lesson specifically to what I needed. She made it very fun and easy to learn. She also gave me some tips on what to work on next time I’m at the range by myself. I 100% recommend taking a lesson with Kim, and I plan on taking a lesson mid-season every year to keep brushing up on my shooting.

— I took my first skeet shooting lesson from Kim and she was an absolutely wonderful instructor. She was full of lots of great tips and was very helpful.
Jesse T.
— Kim is a phenomenal instructor and a truly wonderful teacher. Her systemic, methodical approach particularly stood out when she explained the fundamental concepts of the sport and reviewed them during the follow-up lessons. One of the aspects I appreciated most was her commitment to safety and her professional redundancy in the shotgun handling protocols. She is remarkably flexible in adapting her instruction to my physical limitations, introducing alternative techniques drawn from her immense competence & experience without compromising safe practices. Kim shares her thoughtful observations, a warm sense of humor while being professional & encouraging. I received an exceptional learning experience from an exceptional instructor.
