Visit Madison County

Fowler Farms Sporting Clays sits in Madison County, North Carolina, about 30 miles outside Asheville. The location is deliberate: you get world-class terrain for shooting mixed with the natural beauty of the Appalachian foothills.

This isn't a range where you show up, shoot, and leave. Fowler Farms combines instruction with course shooting. The hosts are knowledgeable about both sporting clays and game bird hunting. They work with:

• •Complete beginners who've never handled a firearm
• •Experienced shooters refining their technique
• •Groups looking for a structured day of shooting

"My friends and I had such an awesome experience here. Jon was an A++ instructor and guide. My girlfriend had never fired a gun before and he helped her not only feel comfortable but also get halfway decent by the end of the day. Amazingly beautiful landscape, and great variety in the clays as well." — Hunter S.

The course is accessed by a scenic drive through the foothills. You're shooting in actual mountain terrain with wildlife present, not a flat manicured range. The variety in clay presentations comes from the natural landscape, which means you're training on shots that actually translate to hunting.

Madison County is positioned between Asheville and the higher Appalachian peaks. Whether you're visiting for outdoor recreation or live in the region, the location is accessible but far enough out to feel genuinely remote.
