Located in the Appalachian foothills just off Highway 400, our layout offers scenic views, walkable terrain, and a relaxed outdoor setting. Come enjoy a day outdoors and have a blast with us!

Skeet Shooting

Skeet shooting is where clay targets are thrown into the air by two mechanical clay throwers at high speeds at different arcs. Learn more about our skeet shooting rates!

Shooting Lessons
