When my friend Don Wills asked me to show him how to better use his guns back in 2009, I excitedly joined him in the Gros Ventre wilderness and we had a great time reviewing nomenclature, shooting the guns and practicing safety. Afterward, Don suggested that I should start a shooting instruction business. And thus the seed was planted.
From teaching a Wyoming old timer like Don in the back country to serving clients from around the world, we have had quite a ride! We have had our ups and our downs, and have faced many challenges, and have emerged stronger on the other side. We have served well over 6,000 clients, and have earned the trust of many individuals and organizations that refer their friends and clients to us. We get many repeat clients, like a physician from the East Coast (that brings his right hand man at the medical facility he owns) that comes out annually for a full week of intensive advanced defensive pistol training, families that make us a part of their annual vacations, locals that use us as personal trainers for firearms. We are proud of our hard work, and of our international ranking as a Top 10 Shooting instruction firm and for remaining #1 in the industry sector we created; Luxury Entertainment Shooting Experiences. I want to extend a HUGE thanks to all of our clients that take the time to write a review on Trip Advisor!

We currently have a team of almost 2 dozen instructors that help us serve our guests. All of our instructors are subject matter experts in at least one aspect of shooting instruction, from archery to shotgun, rifle, pistol, survival, defensive tactics, protective operations and customer service. Our instructors reside in three states and three countries, allowing us to provide our mobile instructional and consultation services more effectively.
Many go WAY above and beyond to not only serve our guests with excellence, but to make the range a better place to shoot. One instructor for example, spent a full day working on range improvement duties and declined to allow us to pay him saying, “The better we make the range, the more people that will come – which means more time for me to teach!” This sense of ownership is pervasive in our organization, and we are very humbled and grateful for it!
We have SO many people to thank … you know who you are! Thank you, thank you!!! –Shepard Humphries & Lynn Sherwood

“Shepard runs the finest shooting experience classes I can imagine.”

I thoroughly enjoyed an NRA Basic Pistol class with Shepard yesterday and can’t say enough about the instructor or the course. It was as welcome an introduction to the shooting sports as I could have asked for. The sign up and registration is easy and efficient and the confirmation was a nice touch. Once there (and the JH Gun Club is a very nice shooting range) there was a wonderful in-class course on all the aspects of pistols – safety, use, care and other topics. There was an easy to appreciate powerpoint presentation interspersed with lots of practical information and dummy pistols to use for training purposes. Despite a very large array of functional pistols on hand for demonstration, it was evident (and repeatedly made evident) that they were all unloaded and harmless in the classroom. Having the selection available made the hands on aspect all the better, and the teaching all the more valuable for it. In the latter part of the day we were all taken to the range for live fire instruction and were all made to feel comfortable with the use and safety of pistols. Evaluating fellow students was a useful tool both to refresh what we’d learned as well as gain valuable perspective that only an onlooker would have. Shepard made a number of caliber pistols available to the students to try, as well as a variety of makes and models of each caliber as well. For someone thinking about purchasing a pistol this was perhaps the most valuable portion of the course, and it was a real treat to try all the different options for comfort, ‘feel’ and accuracy. Once finished on the range we all had a hand at cleaning our handgun, and having someone walk me through the process made me feel so much more confident in cleaning my own on a regular basis.
While the course work and range time were valuable, what really set the course apart were Shepard’s skills and passion. He’s a natural born teacher, speaker and entertainer and his fascination for the shooting sports shines through and makes the course so much more than the sum of it’s parts. He went above and beyond at every turn. I’ll be taking more classes as soon as I have the chance.
“Unique and different experience with a great instructor!”

Spent a day with Shepard H learning basics of pistol use. He’s a super instructor, very focused on your interests and assures that you have an excellent experience that is both fun and educational. He kept the classroom portion of the course entertaining, well-pace and interesting with a lot of stories, demonstrations and class involvement.
When we moved to the range the safety practices and training were comprehensive and extremely thorough. The range itself is a very nice one set in the beautiful surroundings of Jackson Hole. Shepard worked very hard to assure that everyone gained a good understanding of the material and was able to experience the differences in firing numerous types of pistols, All in all a top quality experience with a superb instructor.
Understand that he offers a variety of shooting activities and classes ( e.g. skeet shooting,…) and we intend to visit again. .
