Instruction

With every customer, it’s Quinn’s goal to provide friendly, exceptional service, education, and accessible instruction for shotgun sports. Quinn works with shooters of various skill levels from helping students fire their first shot to coaching competitive shooters to honing their skills and developing new tools. As a certified NSCA Level I instructor and Orvis Staff instructor, Quinn is invested in helping shooters achieve all of their goals, whether it be learning a new hobby, taking down more birds in the field, earning punches to advance NSCA classes, or just becoming a more proficient shooter. The diverse terrain and multiple courses at Cherokee Rose allow Quinn to set up a broad range of targets tailored to everyone’s abilities.

Quinn also taught multiple wing shooting schools at Orvis Sandanona, well known as the oldest permitted shooting preserves in the United States. In addition to being a competitive sporting clay and FITASC shooter, Quinn is an avid multi-gun, USPSA, and steel challenges competitor.
