While doubled up plastic bags may have worked for a four year stint, they don’t travel as well with your outdoor gear, tux or business attire. These days, a dapper and leakproof flask complements the weekend away much better. Though they come in a plethora of styles, sizes and shapes, we picked three that you’ll be proud to pull out when toasting your mates.

-J.L. Powell, Hunter’s Flask (Leather & Sterling): Made from hand-bound sterling and English bridle leather, this companion carries 7.5 ounces and includes two stainless steel shot-size cups. $178

-Filson, Bridle Leather & Stainless Steel Hip Flask: Traditionally shaped and wrapped in bridle leather, this carrier holds 6 ounces and features an attached screw cap so you don’t misplace it when pouring. $67.50

-Orvis, CFO Flask: The largest of the three, this circular flask features leather wrapped over stainless steel, includes a funnel and holds 10 ounces. $69

Through real-time practice on clays, the school teaches a complete shooting system, focusing on key areas like stance and footwork, swing, gun handling, visual concentration, proper mounting and gun fit.

Located just 60 miles north of Atlanta, Barnsley Gardens was voted one of the “Top Places in the World to Stay” by Conde Nast Traveler and offers services including golf, fly-fishing, hunting, riding and a full-service spa.
