Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a responsible gun owner seeking professional instruction, or simply someone looking to unwind in the mountains, Blue Ridge Stay and Shoot has something for everyone. Relax in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit, or enjoy the peaceful scenery from our cozy outdoor seating areas.

Easy level driveway and parking. Located just a short drive between Blue Ridge and McCaysville, you're never far from scenic hiking trails, charming local shops, and top area attractions—all within 30 minutes or less.

As a brand-new property, we're still putting on the final touches. Interior décor is being added and the lawn is still in progress—but rest assured, your stay will still be comfortable, peaceful, and memorable. We welcome your feedback and reviews as we grow both our rental and training programs.. We appreciate the feedback. We are very fairly priced when compared to other schools and instructors offering anything similar. I teach Monday through Saturday (approximately 10 months of the year due to weather, holidays etc.) to students that pay these fees and return weekly. I have shot at large fancy gun clubs to rural Rod and Gun clubs across the country for over 25 years, none offer what we have created at Blue Ridge Stay and Shoot for the prices we are at.

We also have a variety of targets. Stationary, reactive, and moving - we can set up nearly any scenario we choose on a private and safe range. This is not a standard range where you stand in place while shooting. At Blue Ridge Stay and Shoot you will learn to shoot targets 4” to 8” in diameter from 5-40 yards while building marksmanship and life saving skills. Moving and shooting, elevating your skills. Exactly as I teach my family.

Building a range is not cheap. Upkeep, insurance, licensing, taxes and fees all contribute to the price of lessons. Don’t forget it cost me over 25 years of training and tens of thousands of dollars to give me the ability to quickly improve your shooting skills. Nothing has come cheap for me; if you want a cheap safety lesson, this is not it. You can pick one - good or cheap.

Not everyone is willing to spend what is necessary to train and that is OK. I just leave the decision up to you as to how much you value your life.

Please feel free to call if you want to discuss further. You might be surprised after a phone call as to why you might just want to pay for quality training session with an instructor who cares about seeing you win should your life ever be in peril.
