We are invested in Cordoba, the staff lives here, they raise their children in the region, and the places you’ll be shooting are the farms of friends, the ranches of neighbors. It’s old school.

We are Cordoba. Notice how nobody ever talks about going anyplace else to shoot doves anymore?

We are Cordoba. When we first started shooting here, the airport was a tin shed, we shipped ammunition as luggage, and most of the roads were gravel. The shooting? It was excellent—but it has gotten better and better, and we have gotten better at providing the shooting and the service.  Come see our paved roads and nice, new airport for yourself. You might like what we’ve done with our lodges  too.  

When shooters talk dove shooting, there is one name-- Cordoba. And when shooters talk about Cordoba, they talk about one name--David Denies Wingshooting . We are Cordoba.

We are Cordoba, and what sets us apart is our staff and our service.

Used to shooting in other destinations with “bird boys?” Children that gather your birds for few coins and a pat on the head, or sleep in the shade while you wait for the doves? Experience shooting with field assistants. Grown men who make sure you are shooting right where you should be-who keep the shells coming, and who can load a double gun as fast as you’ll ever see it done. Think they have had a little practice? We are Cordoba.

Here is something most dove shooters don’t consider. The variety of shooting that we offer. Most guides or outfitters are looking for an area with the most birds. Make sense right? But we always take it one step further. We like to find the most birds, and then we follow them to the best terrain. Why? Because interesting terrain makes for interesting shooting. Sure, doves are fun to shoot over a flat field, but  that is like going to the amusement park and only riding the ponies around in a circle. You want to ride the roller coaster, right? That’s why we look for sloped ground, steep ground, cliffs, hills, valleys, creek beds and terrain features that allow us to conceive dove shoots that will provide variety and challenge and make you a better and more accomplished shot. That’s why you come to Cordoba, and we are Cordoba.  

We are Cordoba. And in Cordoba we know how to dine. We find chefs who care about nice food and ingredients. Chefs who know that a good steak is better with a good wine, who know that a picnic is better if the napkins are linen, not paper. We designed our menu to be unique—and to be every bit as exciting as the shooting. We care about the shooting, but we care about shooting in style. After all, we are Cordoba

These are all things we can quantify. We don't know exactly what is in the wine cellar, but the selection is vast. We don't keep track of laughs, smiles, hand shakes, or thank you's.. but there are plenty. We absolutely love what we do, and we want to keep doing it, we're here, we are local, and we are Cordoba.        

Leather-covered coolers, directors’ chairs, glass stemware. Do you think we'd have these niceities at our picnic lunch each day if we had not done our homework on the shooting? We take time to prepare, to serve the best cuts of meat and the use the freshest ingredients, because we have done our homework with the doves. Shooting with us is like going to a casino where the games are fixed--except with us, you win…. every time. We are Cordoba.

Our repeat clients tell us they are impressed by the amount of waves. Not by the wave after wave of doves that fly over the guns each minute of every day, but by the number of waves our guides and managers get when we are on a gravel roads, or on the pavement, or in the airport parking space. It seems everyone is waving. There is the "two -finger" farmer wave, or the enthusiastic "have not seen you in a couple days!" wave.  They wave from John Deere combines, from bread trucks, from pick ups, from rusty Citroens. They know us. They know we are serious about our business, serious about great shooting and leaving a positive mark on the community. They know when we leave a field there won't be empty hulls left behind, just tire tracks. We are proud to be here. We are Cordoba.   

References are important, they’ll generally  tell you what they think of a shooting operation.  But we are proud to tell you who might be our best reference. Call Hermana (Sister) Theresa in the little town of Cruz del Eje about forty minutes away from our lodges, and have her tell you about the David Denies operation. We’ll tell you--she’s a big fan. For twenty years we have delivered doves, pasta, other foods, clothing, and school supplies to her food kitchens, and with our help she feeds over a thousand children per day--children who might not get that meal otherwise. We’ve built a community center, and with the help from our shooting guests we hope to do much more. It’s all part of being local, and being  part of the community, we’re part of it, we’re here and we are Cordoba.  

Years ago, our clients told us, “You do such a great job, why don’t you expand?” We always  planned to grow our programs, but with a nudge from our clients, we added a duck program at Jacana lodge, mixed bag shooting in Uruguay, and decoyed pigeon shooting in a more remote part of Cordoba province. We applied the principles of our dove shooting to our other wingshooting destinations, and we now offer the most consistent mixed bag shooting portfolio in the southern hemisphere. That sounds like a mouthful, but we still operate one group at a time, with an emphasis on great shooting and great service, no matter the quarry or the destination.           

David Denies is a real, living person, and he virtually founded wingshooting in Argentina. He discovered the Cordoba dove shooting destination while returning from a road trip to Patagonia with a friend. David had the vision to see what was possible here over 30 years ago, and we still use his name to celebrate that vision. It was easy to be “the best
“ when we were the only ones here, but to stay number one we have had to work harder than everyone else. Come and experience why we still are. We are here for good, and we are Cordoba.
