George Ellis, Paragon School of Sporting Associate Instructor (left) and "Red" (right): Not long before we met Red, he was 1 of 300 homeless youngsters in Hendersonville, NC desperately trying to get their high school diplomas while living on the street. Like most young people in this situation, the only thing they know about guns is gun violence. Something I personally want to see changed.
I met Red when I became involved with fundraising for the private organization that gave Red and 3 other young men a safe place to live. After months of meetings and careful considerations, we invited Red to be a shooter in a Paragon School of Sporting Instructor Training Class. Our goal was to help Red gain a new perspective on shooting and have an opportunity to be mentored by some of the finest men I know. This experience was incredibly successful thanks to the dedication and grace of our Paragon Instructors, the Paragon Instructor Candidates, Dan Schindler, River Bend Sportsmans Resort and others. Those we sought to change that day, changed us forevermore.
I’m happy to report… Red got his high school diploma, completed his Associate's degree at the local community college and is gainfully employed.
Most of the organizations and people involved in this segment of the population have no idea the world of shooting you and I live in exists. They have no idea about the fundraising we do to help underprivileged and abused and neglected children. It takes patience and a determined heart to help them get a glimpse of our world and the good shooting provides.

A few Facebook comments on Dan Schindler's and Dan's Books:
Mark Engen, DVM These three books are a must-read for all clay target shooters. They are clear, concise, logical instructions on how to shoot clay targets and how to improve your scores. Taking a lesson from Dan would be very advantageous & help hasten the learning process. He has been my instructor for 15 years. With each lesson, I always come away amazed how much I have learned & how my scores improve.
He also emphasizes how important it is to practice regularly & stay with his advice & recommendations to really learn new skills to improve your scores. He has helped me tremendously & I highly recommend him.
Don N Lisha Sante Got my three-book set. Read Take Your Best Shot (Book I) and can’t put book II down. Can’t wait to apply all I’ve learned tomorrow now that the rains gone.
Steve Powers I got my copy about a month ago. I’ve read it twice, cover to cover & reviewed the sequence of steps multiple times. Good Book.
Jim Butler I've read my copies twice now and it has absolutely picked up my game. Joined a sporting clays league this spring. Increased my top score by 7. Thought them to be expensive at first, but now find them extremely valuable now. Thank You !!!
Telford Scott Great book !! Simple steps with great results!!
Randall C. Burl Best investment a shooter could make!
David Parks Received mine yesterday and have one chapter left to read. Can’t wait to get to the range and practice the new techniques I have learned. Now I feel like I have a system to work with instead of shoot and hope.
"Called the number on their website, ( leary of ordering through Facebook posts) and Mr. Schlinder himself answered the phone. One of the most pleasant people I have ever talked to about anything. Whenever I get a chance to get down his way, I am going to get in touch with him to shoot. Got my books this weekend, read the first one and it reminded me of the basics. Just started on the second one, going to keep reading them over and over. The best reading you have for shooting clays.
