NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, has awarded Hyatt Farms Shooting Complex its coveted Five-Star rating for range excellence. Five stars is the highest rating in NSSF’s star-rating system, which evaluates shooting facilities based on appearance, management, shooting sports development and amenities.

Hyatt Farms is located in Polkton, North Carolina, about an hour southeast of Charlotte. Given the facility’s top-tier shooting and social amenities, customers from Charlotte’s metro area gladly make the trip to Hyatt Farms to spend a quality day at the range.

“Hyatt Farms is a most worthy recipient of NSSF’s five-star rating designation,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Member Development. “As you would expect from a five-star-rated range, Hyatt Farms Shooting Complex offers a full menu services for customers with diverse shooting interests, including first-timers and novices to target shooting. Hyatt Farms is an impressive facility with a friendly, welcoming staff.”

Open seven days a week, Hyatt Farms can accommodate every type of shooter with its many rifle, pistol and shotgun ranges. The 600-yeard rifle range is the longest in the Charlotte area, has covered shooting benches and includes impact areas at 100, 200 and 300 yards. Its 50-yard sight-in range is the place to dial in your rifle and carbine accuracy. The tactical shooting bay offers steel and paper targets for pistol, rifle and shotgun. And there’s a new 100-yard range for law enforcement and competition use.

For clay target-shooting enthusiasts, Hyatt Farms boasts two 14-station sporting clays ranges, plus a covered five-stand facility. For sporting clays, there’s a Woods course and a Field course that each take advantage of the natural terrain, making for challenging target presentations. A popular new event for shotgun shooters is Friday Night Lights—a fun night shooting experience throwing glowing clay targets lit by black lights.

Education is a big part of the Hyatt Farms experience. The complex offers the largest number of training classes in the Charlotte area, including training for North Carolina concealed carry. Training classes cover the full gamut of shooting interests, including handgun fundamentals and advanced skills, defensive pistol, sporting clays introduction, introduction to the AR-15, precision long-range rifle, introduction to reloading and popular private training classes. All education sessions make use of comfortable indoor classrooms as well as the ranges.

When it comes to products and equipment, Hyatt Farms has a fully stocked retail shop and provides gunsmithing services. The shop offers firearms and ammunition for sale as well as for rent, plus shooting apparel, accessories, hunting supplies and concealed carry products.

The climate-controlled clubhouse is the place to relax and socialize. The Clubhouse Grille serves lunch, dinner and beverages and features wrap-around windows that look out on the grounds.
