Valor Ridge

Valor Ridge operates a firearms training school in East Tennessee with instructors who've walked the tactical walk. The team includes military veterans and law enforcement professionals with actual field experience—they're teaching what works when it matters.

Spread across eighty-one acres in Harrogate near the Cumberland Gap, Valor Ridge includes:

• •100-yard paper target range for fundamentals
• •200–600 yard steel target rifle range for distance work
• •Multi-room shoot house for close-quarters battle (CQB) training
• •Private session availability for groups up to 12 people

Pistol Courses cover self-defense fundamentals and tactical skills. The school emphasizes marksmanship applied quickly, accurately, and decisively.

Rifle Courses turn out actual riflemen—people capable of making precise hits on threats at any distance. This is not basic shooting; it's real tactical rifle training.

Private Sessions available on non-class days for individuals or groups who want customized instruction.

Our purpose is to ensure that you leave with the confidence, competence, and ability to protect yourself and your family.

Valor Ridge uses logically-sequenced training modules that work for complete novices through armed professionals. The school's system has been refined over 20 years. Instruction is realistic, safe, and actually educational—they focus on practical self-defense elements rather than range theater.

Reid Henrichs and J.J. Wittenborn lead the operation. Client feedback consistently highlights their professionalism and ability to teach people with different experience levels.
