Hunters Pointe Sporting Clays is a premier shotgun and handgun shooting complex established over 25 years ago in Eastern North Carolina. Located near the scenic waterfront of Little Washington, the venue caters to shooters of all skill levels, from beginners looking to pick up a new hobby to elite national competitors. What makes the range truly unique is its elite sporting heritage; it is owned and operated by the Oliver family, with training and facility management heavily influenced by Braxton Oliver—a multiple-time All-American, five-year Team USA member, and double World Championship gold medalist.
The facility boasts a broad array of fully automated and professionally designed ranges, allowing shooters to practice in highly dynamic environments that replicate real hunting scenarios. Its diverse setups accommodate multiple disciplines under strict safety protocols, ensuring a secure environment for families and professionals alike.
