For pistol cartridge firearms OnTarget south of I-40 on 25a and near Unicoi TN is a forestry shooting range for handgun and rifle 25- 50 and 100 yards only . Scioto WMA Firing Range - Unicoi, TN 37692
I can run my defensive drill and some fun plinking in my back yard but I'm in yancey county where noise of firearms being shoot is more normal .
How well we all like structured shooting ranges is up to each of us . I'll shoot occasionally at on target , more so at the TN forestry range around 7am but find little need for them over all .

Thanks for that info hardluk1! Have you taken any advanced instruction from anyone in the area? In particular I’m looking for AR training and advanced combat training on my Glock handgun.
I took my training courses back in florida when we lived there years ago but you might talk to Jeff at On Target about training center advise at least who to avoid ! If I was planning to take a class today I'm not sure where I go . Sorry . On Target has a Monday night match for pistol or if pistol carbines in a mini match and the APSA club might be of use to you .
We do have a local shooting range over here where the above group hold monthly matches and a general range needs if it works for you . PracticalShooting
If you have not visited Prices Creek General Store in west yancey county for most everything firearm related or Coppers Trading post a couple miles toward Burnsville you have to visit them .
We are moving down to the Weaverville area in the fall and I see there's no sportsman's club anywhere nearby for target shooting. I'm spoiled since my club in W. PA is minutes from home, dues are cheap and the range is never crowded on week days. Does anyone know if you can go into the Pisgah National Forest out past Barnardsville and set up a target and shoot? I know nothing of the laws in NC regarding shooting on public land.
I would not but if live in Barnardsville area if you have a couple acres you may be able to shoot at home ! I did list a couple places that might pass for sportsmans clubs for you and if its not close by I guess you should have bought a larger piece of rural property . Much of Buncombe county and some of the surrounding areas are a hub for that other political party mind set and those types don't even want a LE training center . I shoot some on my property and run my defensive drills there and do so with in our county's laws . But I also go to Unico Tn to shoot sometimes on a forestry range .
Theres moss knob (NFS range) between Cullowhee and franklin. Long drive but might be worth your while.
You do need a day pass or annual pass. I always get the annual pass. If you are lucky, there might not be anyone there.
But dont show up at 3PM on a Saturday expecting no one to be there.
