Last week, our friends at Orvis, the clothing and sporting goods company, invited a group of magazine editors up to their Sandanona hunting preserve in Milbrook, New York.
Among the group were my colleague Chip Rowe and myself, and–brace yourself, pun ahead–we had a blast. Sandanona, which is open to the public, is a terrific facility, now entering its second century as a preserve, set on 400 beautifully maintained acres, and like all of Orvis’ products, it’s first class. We went up to shoot clays, and after receiving a lesson on how to handle a shotgun, we moved among the 20-odd shooting stations, each of which provided a different presentation of the targets. Some of them were flung away from us, some diverge in the distance, some go directly over your head, some skitter across the ground. Hitting them is challenging work and righteously tiring–-but fun. Thanks to our hosts Perk Perkins and Dave Perkins, our maestro James Hathaway, our shooting guru Mike Quartararo, and everyone else who provided us with such a wonderful day.
