Perdiz Shooting Course
Perdiz Shooting CoursePerdiz Shooting Course is located 2 miles south of the historic town of Eureka, Nevada, in the Windfall Canyon below the majestic Prospect Peak. The course is designed so that each shooting station simulates a certain species of game. A short walk from one point to another may provide shooting at incoming kamikaze chukkar, pass shooting at huns on the horizon, or the "wabbit" breaking from cover flushing the "wooster". Think of it as “golfing with a shotgun.”
