Trap and Sporting Clay Shooting

If you're interested in trap and sporting clays shooting, we have a treat for you. DestinationKohler has an awesome set up for sporting clays shooting. It's all held at River Wildlife, a private recreational club encompassing more than 500 acres of unspoiled land.

We're putting together a special shooting package for only around $100.

First, Tom Bartenstein, Marketing Manager for Sterling/Kohler, is a huge sporting clays fan with tons of experience! Tom's agreed to act as guide for up to 15 Remodelers Advantage folks who would like to join him at River Wildlife.

You'll start with a warm up of shooting trap and then move to the sporting clays. In total, you'll shoot around 75 targets. The fee includes the targets, the shotgun rental, and the shells-- in other words, everything you need.

Date: Saturday, October 9th, 10:00 a.m. This is the morning immediately after the Summit.

Only 15 people can take part so grab your spot today. Just email Victoria at Victoria@RemodelersAdvantage.com and she'll track the responses.

This is certainly something you can't do everywhere!

Dozens of other Activites are listed here! From Horseback riding to historic tours to garden walks, they have it all!

The 2010 Business Summit is a unique opportunity to participate in the Remodelers Advantage Experience and learn why hundreds of remodelers have become long-term members of this effective network. Here's What Our Members Say...

We have spent a lot of time and money in the past with consultants but nothing has compared to the Remodelers Advantage experience. R.P.

We could not imagine braving the rough tides of late without you and Remodelers Advantage Roundtables! I can only hope that those owners who are not yet members are not because they are not aware of the priceless value of peer review, professional applicable guidance and encouragement through tough love. J.K.

I can't afford to not attend the meetings. I think Remodelers Advantage Roundtables is the best thing I do for my company. G.P.

It is REALLY nice to see that the REALITY of your organization meets the ADVERTISING. We are looking forward to the focus and direction that Remodelers Advantage helps give our company! W.F.
