Until now, no such rating-system has been available for hunting and shooting venues. Branded by Beretta, the Trident Program requires venues – offering hunting and or shotgun sports – to undergo a detailed assessment of every area that impacts the guest experience. Beretta, a nearly 500 year-old brand, has permitted its name to be used to signify the exceptional quality of a hunting or shooting experience.

Just like Beretta we share a commitment to excellence and a genuine passion for the sporting life.”
A “Trident” is awarded for excellence-much like Michelin stars are for restaurants. While emphasizing the outstanding hunting or shooting experience, the evaluation system recognizes and rates everything from the spectacular bird hunting, food on the table to the bird dogs and kennels.

The necessary quality standards must be both attained and maintained for the destination to stay in the program and ensure that the time-honored Beretta brand remains associated with excellence and high performance. When making a reservation with Joshua Creek Ranch, the Beretta Trident rating provides consumer confidence in the quality of the field sports, guest services, and accommodations.
