Finally, warmer temperatures have returned, Thank God, and it's time to start shooting and enjoying the outdoors again. As we all know to well, if you wait to tune up your shooting technique a week or two before bird season opens, you'll be one disappointed bird hunter. Simply by shooting once a week from now through September - on either sporting clays or skeet - you're bound to shoot much better, come October. The most important advise I can give you as a shooting instructor is to start all your shooting efforts from a gun down or "ready" position starting point. Practicing with the gun up and pre-mounted will not give you the same muscle memory benefits as will shooting and practicing from a "gun down" position...improvements and results guaranteed. And speaking of practice....

The 2010 FIELDSPORT Wingshooting School dates are now posted on line. As I submit this new home page copy in mid-April, all our school programs are 75% booked. If you are considering any of the schools, please call us asap. Our schools are limited to just 6 or 9 students, so the programs appear like they are going to be sold out quite soon. Don't be disappointed, call now. For a first time, we are also very excited to be offering a Grand Traverse Vinyard Wine Tasting Tour on August 25th with our schools this year. This is going to be lots of fun...we plan to have a shuttle pick you up and drop you back off at your hotel, so a good time and memorable experience can be had by all.

Our store is being restocked daily with a number of exciting new and staple items for you, the wingshooter. We also offer a great selection of high quality lines of shotgun shells at very competitive prices. Stop in or call us and mail order a case or two of your favorite shotshell load by makers such as: RST, B & P, Kemen, Diana, Fiocchi, Kent, Hevi-Shotand many others.

Lastly, we just received in a handsome selection of new, AyA Model No 2's and 4/53's in various gauges and barrel lengths. I have been actively selling and importing AyA's for almost 30 years now and I truly believe that AyA is making some of their finest, well fitted and finished game guns that they have ever made... right now. Check out our web site gun room and browse through the various AyA offerings. Bird season is right around the corner, you know.

We hope you will visit us again or for the first time this year. Northern Michigan is a beautiful area of our country to tour and enjoy. We look forward to serving you soon... Thank you for your business and support.

Sincerely, Bryan Bilinski,

President / FIELDSPORT Ltd.
