All previous reviews still stand true, even under the new management or ownership. Clays course changes weekly and is a nice easy walk. Staff is friendly and entire facility is great. Look forward to shooting there for a long time.

Suzanna Parks was extremely helpful and informative with a new comer to the course and it was a pleasant experience. The sporting clays course was set up vey well and it was nice being outside and walking the course. The senerios were set up well and it had a good variation of far shots and close shots. I will definitely be back and I will bring my friends! These are good people and I look forward to their business!

I’ve been a member for 3 + years, and have made many new shooting friends there. 4 to 10 of us meet every thursday for breakfast and continue on to shoot no matter the weather. If it is raining we can shoot under cover at the five stand. we usually shoot the course and sometimes shoot skeet or trap after having some lunch in their dog friendly club house. Our young dogs have the run of the entire course and enjoy playing with the other dogs there. Added to our enjoyment is feeding apples and carrots to Sussane’s horses. I’ve shot at 4 other courses in Oregon and find this club to be my favorite. You can purchase package deals and save $20.00 on four rounds of sporting clays.I look forward to thursdays, and think my dog even knows it’s shooting day. Visit and shoot and you will enjoy the friendly people you meet there too.

Mitchell’s provides a valuable resource for Boy Scouts. The owners and staff have long supported scouts, giving of their time and materials to encourage responsible gun use by youth. I have attended their annual Sporting Clays event to support the scouting program and are always impressed with the organization and professionalism. I would recommend their instructions and facilities to anyone.

Mitchells is a great place to shoot. The facilities are very nice and the employees are freindly and professional, no prima donnas here. I would highly recommend Mitchells to anyone shooting clay sports.

As a Commercial Realtor of 38 years experience, I have analyzed numerous businesses, large and small. Mitchell’s is extremely well run. The operators and employees are knowledgable, alert, considerate, and helpful. It’s a pleasure to witness such a fine run operation.

We shot skeet a number of times at this club before deciding to get serious and buy a dedicated sporting gun for each of us. Naturally, Mitchell’s Beretta Pro-shop was our first choice. When it came time to purchase our guns, Suzanne and Stephen were wonderful to deal with. We did quite a bit of research before choosing our guns and Stephen’s prices were competitive with big box stores while supplying superior service with knowledgeable fitting and gun advice to boot. We even got a brief lesson from Stephen when we picked up our guns. The members are as friendly and helpful as the staff. I cannot say enough good things about our experiences at Mitchel’s Clay Target Sports, we will be frequent customers for a long time.

Mitchell’s is a great place to shoot. Always a fun sporting clays course set-up which, we shoot the most, with a variety of targets and presentations. The club is very friendly and accommodating to members and new shooters alike. We shoot a lot of the events and tournaments there and they are always very well run and lots of fun. Excited to have the 2012 Oregon State Sporting Clays Championship at our “home club” this summer!
Stephen and Suzanne do a great job managing the club.

Highly recommend-5 Stars! Nice friendly, clean, and well organized place to shoot or learn to shoot. We visited with our extended family having various degrees of firearm proficiency and everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. Stephen and Suzanne were very helpful and patient sharing their wealth of experience and knowledge. We can’t wait to go back.

Stephen has made this a great place to shoot with challenging and varied presentations. Much better than other clubs in Tucson and Louisville that I have visited in the past year. The club is well organized and takes an interest in all the shooters regardless of experience level. Suzanne, in particular seems to “go the extra mile” to help everyone.
The Beretta Line of guns and clothing, etc. adds to the complete experience.
Thanks Stephen for moving this club to a level of excellence!

As someone new to shooting sports, the staff at Mitchells were both friendly and helpful. They helped get me and my boys set up for trap shooting then even came out, pulled for us and gave us a few pointers. We will definitely be back for more fun!

As a first time visitor I was immediately impressed with the clean and professional atmosphere. Great proshop, attentive service and very interesting range layout. The management is topnotch and very welcoming to folks new to the sport and the place is dog friendly to boot! I look forward to going back many times. I highly recommend this place.

Very well run facility with a friendly, fun, knowledgeable staff that is always willing to help in any way possible. Saturdays are perfect for women with a discounted rate on the sporting clays course. Excellent variety of targets that change nearly weekly so you feel like you’re on a different course each time you’re there. Great for beginners and youth as well. Highly recommend this facility.

Top notch sporting clay course. Stephen and Suzanne run a tight ship and the friendly staff are always willing to help out. My dad and I are becoming regulars because we enjoy the sporting clays and that fact the course is always changing. Highly recommend going here if you are looking for a clean, friendly atmosphere that welcomes all abilities, and enjoys camaraderie. It’s a little busy right at opening, we usually postpone our start until 30 minutes after opening or more.

Great facility. Stephan and crew are organized and the facility is maintained and well-run. We took a skeet lesson from Stephan Parks; it was well worth the money and really helped improve our scores. Lunch is served on Sundays, though we never seem to make it on time. Love the Beretta room and the well stocked Pro shop!

Very Very Nice Facilities. They have a “Pro” shop and Snack Bar facilities with a very professional atmosphere. Friendly Staff and Members. I shot my First round of Sporting Clays here. Nice presentations, good variety of targets. Will be back here for sure!

Outstanding. Friendly staff, explained how they set things up, handed us a counter, we had a problem with one of the stations, no questions asked. My co-shooter even decided some lesson would work well next weekend. VERY FRIENDLY to new beginners and quite an interesting course for the seasoned pro. Reasonably priced and laid back with safety as long as you follow the rules. I would truly recommend having tried several of these. Go for dust, but if not just bust!

My son and I visited on 2/3/08 and had a great experience,as we are rookies in this sport with no experience at all, the staff took the time to get us started and get us going in the right direction and very friendly and helpful while doing so. Even all the members that where there where helpful and friendly to us noobs. I think we found a new hobby !

These folks are first class and most accommodating. Dan is a fantastic instructor and a friend from day one. He has done a great job on his facilities as well. I always look forward to shooting at Dan’s place.
Steve Parks ( known as “SPARKS” ) has a great pro shop and can fit you with a gun quite well. He was very helpful in getting my new Beretta 391 located back in to the difficult state of California.

I have found the Mitchell’s clay target sports center to be the premier sporting clays center as well as a great beretta shotgun sales center , the class of clientele are world class and i could not suggest a better place to go and shoot or buy long guns.

Dan runs a first rate facility. I drive 2 hours one way to shoot Sporting Clays. He always has a very interesting layout. The pro shop is very well appointed. I have purchased several items so far.
I would suggest taking lessons from Dan or his staff. Dan helped me deal with a vision issue.

Excellent facilities with lots of different shoots. It features sporting clays, skeet, trap, and a new wobble skeet shooting area. Dan will set up all sorts of interesting challenges through the year. The sporting shop is quite good. I usually travel to Mitchell’s Clays by myself and have had no trouble finding a group to shoot with.
I took my hit 1 in 25 shooter, my daughter. Dan got her to hit 15 out of 25 in just one lesson and told her where to buy a new shotgun in Washington. She was extremely pleased with the instruction. I have had lessons and they have helped me shoot better.

I have been going down to Mitchell’s for just under a year now. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and grounds of Mittchells’. I would recomend any one to make the drive down to Gervias. Especially those who are new to the sport. The staff is very welcoming to beginners.
