Whitetail Preserve Shooting Range | Clay Shooting & Guided Hunts in Bloomsburg
Whitetail Preserve in Bloomsburg has grown from its origins as a continental-style pheasant hunt into one of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s premier destinations for upland bird hunting and clay target shooting. Established in 1988 by a group of passionate hunters, the Preserve was inspired by a South Dakota pheasant hunt and built on the idea of recreating that exhilarating experience right here in PA. Today, it offers a dynamic mix of field hunting, clay sports, and certified firearms instruction in a welcoming, inclusive setting.

The Preserve features professionally guided field hunts for pheasant, chukar, and quail, offering a controlled, skill-focused experience for hunters of all levels.

These shooting ranges provide a safe and scenic environment to practice, compete, or simply enjoy a day on the course.
