Pre-shooting life, Dale was an avid Golfer and Martial Artist (3rd degree black belt, don’t mess with him!) With always having a desire to help fellow friends and enthusiasts in both sports, he channeled his desire to coach once he began his shooting journey with beginners at his local club, Forrest City Gun Club in Savannah, Georgia. With an already lengthy list of accomplishments, Dale decided to sell his business and retire in 2019 and focus entirely on his shooting career.
Today, Dale travels to gun clubs all over the South East coaching on average 450 students per year from 5 man clinics to private individual lessons and is head coach of the local Savannah Lowcountry Annie Oakelys. Along the way, Dale has mastered his gun fit skills and has gained an extensive amount of knowledge in the various lines of premium shotguns, so come for a lesson and stay for a fitting.
As the 2020 Georgia Sporting Clays Association Hall of Fame Inductee, Dale represents the core ‘Woolley’ shooting fundamentals and is a key contributor of Woolley Shooting Clinics and Providence Hill.
