A long weekend at Montardy.
You will not shoot the same way again.

Wingshooting · Dordogne, France · Est. 12th Century

Most wingshooting experiences give you a guide and a field. Jean du Lau d'Allemans gives you 35 years of elite coaching, 1,235 private acres, and a château his family has owned since the 12th century.

The Shooting School

Jean doesn't teach a method.
He diagnoses.

After 35 years and thousands of students, he can identify your specific fault — your mount, your timing, your eye dominance, your read of the bird — usually within the first few drives. Then he fixes it. Not with theory. With repetition, on live birds, on 1,235 private acres, until it's gone.

Guests leave Montardy shooting with a confidence they didn't have before. Not because they learned new rules — because the old problems aren't there anymore.

Three days is enough. Jean has fixed in an afternoon what other coaches couldn't solve in a season.
