You can break more targets consistently!

From the very first lesson with Daniel Schindler:

You'll break more targets.

Know how to Self-Correct your Misses.

Understand how to Duplicate your Successful Shot - Consistently.

 

Simple, Clear, Easy Steps to Consistently Shooting Better using our proven process!

Excellent shooting instruction is a wonderful gift that keeps on giving!

 

The coaching/instruction I received from Dan was phenomenal. I took my first two-day session earlier this year. I experienced such an improvement in my swing and hitting crossers, quartering, and chandelle targets, I had to come back for more. I sought his help with targets beyond 50 yards. Dan taught me how to approach them and I was hitting them within a few minutes of Dan's instruction. I wish I had met Dan years ago! I wasted so much time and money trying to figure it out on my own. The Paragon system works! As long as one puts in the time working on the techniques Dan teaches, improvement is certain to come to their clay game.

The atmosphere is relaxed and happy. Shooting should be fun, safe, and educational too. Paragon sessions not only build confidence in the shooting box but also teach respect for the game, guns, and targets. The overall experience is both enlightening and gratifying. We completely understand this passion to get behind the trigger. We'll teach you how to be successful - on the range and in the hunting fields.

Of course, our first goal is always safety mindedness, which you can count on. Our second goal is to provide you with an educational and truly memorable experience for you and your guests. We will patiently walk you through every step, every question, allowing you to successfully build one accomplishment after another. What you will feel is our genuine desire to assist you in a patient and professional manner.

We take time to talk with you before you schedule a lesson so you understand - precisely - what you can honestly expect to learn during your lesson(s). We are committed to helping you move your game forward. We provide simple, clear, easy-to-understand instruction so you can be successful when your instructor is not standing behind you in the shooting box. We patiently answer all of your questions. All instruction is tailored to you and your goals. If we feel you need a little more time to achieve the fundamentals being taught, we'll extend your lesson at no extra charge. We value each and every one of our clients. We know people learn differently and we've invested decades to help our clients maximize their time with us so they can implement the teachings into their shooting. We put you - our client - first. 

Paragon's training is cutting edge. For 3+ Decades, we've done double-blind tests to distill our training down to the essence of good shooting. We've held roundtable discussions with professionals from all walks of life to create proprietary techniques, exercises and teachings to help our clients learn faster.  

This IS the Paragon teaching philosophy: 

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. 

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." 

Lao Tzu, Chinese Philosopher and founder of Taoism

Great Article: Gentleman's Calling, Town Magazine by Stephanie Trotter // Photography by Derek Luzio

"Folks fly from around the world to take lessons with Schindler at River Bend Sportsman’s Resort, his home course in Inman, South Carolina. Clients have included Bush staffers to NASCAR drivers to the U.S. Ambassador to Belgium. The approachable teacher has spent 25 years on “gentleman’s coaching” (with social and corporate shooters) and formal instruction (with individuals, groups, and competitors). Schindler has even certified more than 270 instructors using his handcrafted curriculum—a system that signaled his qualification as the first American admitted to the British Guild of Shooting Instructors... “Shooting, like golf, or anything like that, is a mental sport, and he has the mental game down so well.” To find out how he calibrated mind with metal, we head to Japan."

Instructor Certification

Paragon School of Sporting Instructor Certification

Center for Instructor Study (C.I.S.)

 

"I teach our Instructors – when we are teaching – it’s not about us. It is ALL about our students.

 

We are not there just to instruct but to inspire…to elevate their spirit…their self-esteem…and their soul.

 

And when we do…our gift of enlightenment comes back to us."

 

Daniel Schindler, Paragon Master Sporting Clays and Wingshooting Instructor, U.S.

Guild of Shooting Instructors, U.K.

NSCA Level III Instructor, U.S.

 

Paragon C.I.S. (Center for Instructor Study) is a comprehensive Sporting Clays and Wingshooting Instructor certification program for those individuals who seek the very highest level of Instructor training. With a goal to excel, the Instructor Candidates who join us have carefully researched their certification training options. Mediocrity is not a part of their standards. What matters greatly to these individuals is their reputation and providing excellent instruction to their students.

An Instructor certification program has obligations to its Candidates. Those obligations are to teach competency, to prepare the Candidate for the many questions, issues, problems and challenges his/her students will bring. That puts the burden squarely on the certification program to prepare their Candidates accordingly. Paragon C.I.S. teaches Sporting Clays and Wingshooting Instructor competence, emphasizing safety, communication, teaching and people skills. The Paragon C.I.S. certification program does precisely that.
