A TRUE FIELD EXPERIENCE

Continental Pheasant
Hunting at LWSSC

LWSSC’s Continental Pheasant Hunt brings the excitement of European-style driven shooting to Central Alabama.

Shooters are positioned at stations arranged in a circle around an 80-foot tower. Pheasants are released from the tower, creating challenging high-flying shots as birds move across the field.

Throughout the hunt, shooters rotate between stations so each participant experiences a variety of shooting positions and opportunities.
