For a fun and unique idea for a team build, our VP decided that skeet shooting was a good bonding activity. The ladies that I work with were a little hesitant (and so was I), none of us had ever gone shooting before! Our wonderful Exec Assistant organized with the club so we could enjoy a steak lunch on the deck before our afternoon of fun. After the waivers were signed, we got briefed on gun safety and shooting. We split up into teams of 4 and assigned a guide. Our guide was Rick and he was awesome! Taking into account that our group of ladies were first time shooters, he was really patient and coached us through each station. Everyone had a blast, what a great way to spend a sunny afternoon getting to know your coworkers. I'm really looking forward for summer to come; I can't wait to head out here again! read more

Attended a "Ladies learn to shoot" event, they served a lovely light breakfast, followed by a quick safety demo, then off with an instructor to shoot guns at flying targets! Really good fun, our instructor was fantastic! I have a lapsed PAL, so I am not completely a stranger to firearms, but I haven't shot for years. the instructors were clear about the basics without being condescending, which is great. But you can come here having never touched a real firearm, and by the end we were all able to hit a few targets. If you are curious about skeet shooting, or firearms in general, this is a very welcoming place for beginners. The best part is that they are very environmentally aware. The targets are biodegradable, and the whole club is off grid on solar and wind. If you are at all curious, check out their website, I found everyone there friendly, helpful, and patient with beginners. read more

I was invited to a charity shoot and didn't have time to practice. The ten station sporting clay course offers targets flung at many angles so even for a novice like myself gets the satisfaction of blowing apart a clay or two. The staff are courteous, knowledgable and make learning fun. The meal they prepared for us was great, big barbecued beef burgers, impeccable coleslaw, beans and Saskatoon berry pie. Oh, back to the course for a moment, the way the stations are nestled into the coulee bank and ample tree cover you won't be distracted by the muzzle blast from other shooters. They also have a pro shop offering pretty much everything made by Browning for shot gunners, reasonable prices too. Can't wait to go back. read more

I came to Silver Willow just this last weekend with a customer for a customer/vendor team building day. The two owners really showed us the ropes and left me feeling confident with the guns. (not too confident don't worry) The land is beautiful and very well kept. They provided a paid lunch which was delicious. I would recommend Silver Willow for any type of personal or corporate functions, what a great day! read more
