Things are often up in the air at Rose Hill Farm Sporting Clays and Quail Preserve.
The skeet-shooting business is situated on a scenic, 800-acre wooded farm called Rose Hill Conference Center in Nashville, N.C., and has 14 automated courses available for use by both novice and expert rifle shooters. In fact, Rose Hill bills itself as a skeet-shooting course that is challenging without being overwhelming.
There is also a 60-foot tower on site that officials can use to monitor all of the sporting clay action each day, and the tower can also be rented by the public during quail and pheasant hunting seasons. The shooting destination also features professional instruction and information workshops hosted by gun aficionados who all have won a number of awards for their marksmanship.
Rose Hill’s pro shop is well stocked with a variety of different ammunition products at reasonable prices. In fact, Rose Hill boasts its own brand of shells from NC Cartridge Co. and Hull Cartridge.
Clay accessories are also available from such top manufacturers as Wild Hare and Lewis Creek. For clay skeet enthusiasts, Rose Hill Farm is open Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays and by appointment.
Rose Hill Farm is a private preserve but welcomes visitors and guests, even walk-ins.
Prices vary according to the amount of time you want to rent the facility and what equipment you want to use. Memberships are available, and many people who belong to the club are among the best shooters in North Carolina.
The facility’s rustic Quail Preserve is also available for both guided and unguided hunts, and personal dogs are welcome on the property. Rose Hill also rents hunting dogs. Quail hunts are booked by appointment only during the regular quail season.
