Elevate your wing shooting skills at the 2025 National Conclave!

We've all experienced the chaos of the flush. Your dog is locked on point. As you step in, a covey erupts from the brush, the flush causing your heart rate to explode and your hand-eye coordination to disappear. You take your shot — nothing falls. A second shot — still nothing.

Frustration sets in, followed by a few choice words, and then you look at your EB, who returns a look of pure disappointment. What happened? Why did you miss?

At the 2025 CEB-US Conclave, we’re offering the opportunity to find out and improve your skills. Join us for an exclusive shotgun seminar and professional shotgun fitting led by expert instructor Pat LaBoone. Learn how proper gun fit, stance, and technique can make all the difference in the field.

Seminar Details:

📍 Location: 2025 CEB-US Conclave
🎯Instructor: Pat LaBoone, Professional Shotgun Coach
💡 Includes: Shotgun seminar & professional fitting
🍽 Complimentary with Meal Plan Purchase
