Hunt fast-flying quail, pheasant and chukar in the rolling broomstraw fields and hardwood ridges that surround the River Bend lodge in upstate South Carolina. Friendly, experienced guides and well-trained dogs assure you of a great day afield. You can even hunt behind your own dogs if you wish.
Field Hunts
The trembling energy of a splendid English setter holding point. The sudden rush of frantic feathers as a covey of bobwhite bursts from the broomstraw. Later, a cold drink, a warm fireplace, and good conversation...for the company building internal morale, the salesman cultivating customer goodwill, or simply the father strengthening a bond with his youngster, it’s hard to find a better setting than River Bend Resort.
River Bend offers a variety of exciting hunting opportunities, but our major interest is in Quail, Pheasant, and Chukar hunting. You can choose one of our package hunts, or arrange your own special hunt. Enjoy your hunt by using your own dogs, or if you prefer, hunt behind some of our superior dogs and guides. Whether it is a half day or full day hunt you choose, we are ready to serve you.
Pheasant Tower ShootA unique hunting experience is our Pheasant Tower Shoot. River Bend Tower Shoots are scheduled once a month, October through March and present an opportunity to entertain up to 30 guests with a great day of shooting.
Individual and Corporate Shooting Memberships are available, in addition to River Bend Corporate Hunting Memberships.

Shooting School
Owned and directed by Dan Schindler, the Paragon School of Sporting is the premiere school in the US, located right here at River Bend. With US and British credentials, Dan is the author of two popular wing-shooting books and his articles appear regularly in Sporting Clays Magazine. Dan and his staff have a complete program to assist and entertain your clients on the sporting clays range at River Bend.
In a safe, educational environment, Paragon programs provide a particularly gratifying and entertaining experience for the new shooter; and take competitors to the very highest level. Men, women and youngsters in Paragon are successful more often because they are learning how to break targets.
For the entry-level shooter, Paragon instruction accelerates the learning process by providing step-by-step instruction that is reliable, easy to understand and implement. This is the cornerstone of Paragon's teaching principles. There are no substitutes for the fundamentals and bypassing them only leads to inconsistencies and mediocrity. Learning the basics from a patient and experienced Paragon teacher provides a solid foundation upon which to build more advanced skills in the field and on the sporting course.
For the intermediate shooter, shooting improvement does not have to be complicated. It requires fewer steps, not more. At Paragon, we simplify your strategies, shooting equations, and equipment selections. Learning to balance technique and trust will deliver that elusive improvement!
Advanced competitors know, shooting in competition is different, tougher. You need three, four, maybe just one more target. Though shooting mechanics are evaluated, Paragon focuses on teaching you how to concentrate-and maintain that concentration shot after shot. Emphasis shifts from technique to developing mental skills and tactics. Learning how to control your game is the final step to your ultimate performance.
Sporting Clays
Shoot Sporting Clays in beautiful upstate South Carolina.
Sporting Clays is a shotgunner's sport that offers the thrill of game hunting without the kill. Clay targets of different sizes and shapes are thrown at varying speeds, angles and heights to simulate the path of hunting game. At River Bend, shooters find out why Sporting Clays is the nation's fastest growing shooting sport.
 
Our all new fully automated sporting clays course has made "waiting for a trapper" a thing of the past. Shooters can now come in to the lodge and within minutes be on their way out to the course. It is even possible for shooters to shoot and practice solo. The control allows you to set a delay of up to ten seconds so you can push the button and have plenty of time to prepare for the target.
You can also sharpen your skills on our Rifle and Pistol Range.
SHOOTING MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE
Individual and Corporate Shooting Memberships are available, in addition to River Bend Corporate Hunting Memberships.

Tower Shoots
Waiting in a blind for pheasants to rocket past from a fifty foot tower makes for a unique and unforgettable hunting experience. This is the perfect activity for large groups of up to 30.
