Orvis sent out a notice this weekend that the previously private Hill Country shooting club will now be a Sandanona type Orvis facility.

ORVIS HILL COUNTRY SHOOTING GROUNDS AND SPORTING CLAYS COURSE TO OPEN IN SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA

In Early November, 2018 Orvis Hill Country Shooting Grounds and Sporting Clays Course will open in the rolling hills of southern Pennsylvania in the town of Blue Ridge Summit, just 25 minutes south of Gettysburg, and 1.5 hours from the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, D.C.

The third property in the growing Orvis collection of shooting grounds and sporting clays courses, Orvis Hill Country joins Orvis Sandanona in New Yorks Hudson Valley, and the Orvis Shooting Grounds at Pursell Farms in central Alabama as three of the premier shooting grounds in the country, all offering the finest in sporting clays and upland hunting.

Encompassing 520 acres, Hill Country will offer a 15 station sporting clays course, 5-Stand, upland hunts, Continental pheasant shoots, and have planned to make it a premier location for their renown Wingshooting Schools. As at the other Orvis shooting grounds, private instruction is always available with Orviss highly trained instructional fly-fishing and wingshooting staff who can help you at any experience level, from the novice to the pro.

The Sporting Clays Course and all instructional features will be open to the public, but both private upland and sporting clays memberships with extended privileges and the highest level of access and exclusive services will be offered. These memberships will have the added benefit of reciprocal privileges at both Sandanona and Pursell Farms as a premier feature of membership in the Orvis Shooting Grounds Collection.

Operating as a private shooting club for the past five decades, the historic Main House at Hill Country dates from the 1700s and will house the full-service Orvis Pro Shop and Gun Room similar to the facilities at Sandanona and Pursell. The shop will carry the finest in shooting and upland hunting gear and the full-service gun room will feature fine shotguns and access to Orviss highly respected gunsmithing services.

I really like Sandanona so this new place should be nice.

I have lived 25 minutes from Blue Ridge Summit for 30 years but will be moving away soon to the Eastern Shore. Just my luck. There will be nothing like that where I'm moving.

Eeb is right, it might be a great venue for a Vintage Gunners Cup.

10 Miles North of the Thurmont Club were I have shot a number of f times. Beautiful country and a pleasant drive from South . You can avoid the DC area completely crossing the Potomac at Leesburg Rt 15, easy drive from North on I 78 too.

Vintagers ought to take a good look

I own a share of S&M Lodge (hunting preserve) near Gettysburg. I'll have to stop by on my trip next month.

S&M and Hill Country are very close together, both nice facilities. I am not a member or shareholder at S&M, but my dad and I have shot pheasants there since the early sixties when I was barely a teenager. I have also shot at Hill Country and found it a great facility with a husky membership fee. Now we can all go. Camp David is almost visible from Hill Country.
