Quail Creek Clay Shoot- Okeechobee, Florida
Quail Creek managers Fred and Maria Fanizzi have overseen Quail Creek operations since they opened the first sporting clays warm-up course for actual quail hunters in 2001. Although they both graduated with degrees in agriculture from the University of Florida, neither of them had prior experience with competitive clay target shooting, which the couple said are set up like golf courses into stations that are accessed by guests in golf carts. The Fanizzi’s originally came to the Okeechobee area to help the owner of the property, the late Harris “Whit” Hudson, set up a private hunting preserve.
