WELCOME TO BASSI RANCH!
Bassi Ranch at Hightowers, North Carolina, is home to the Distinguished Pistol Outdoor Shooting Range.
We teach safety and marksmanship skills to new shooters! Everyone is welcome to join us for a wonderful first marksmanship experience!
We are a small family-owned and operated business that caters primarily to new shooters.
The basics are taught here, such as how to handle a firearm safely and to load, shoot and maintain a firearm.
We are also North Carolina's number one destination for women shooters! Come and join the DP Ladies Club!
At Distinguished Pistol, we're all about having some country-style family fun! As far as we're concerned, nothing beats a day in the countryside with family and friends, or the rush you get from shooting a .50 caliber revolver or a .30-06 hunting pistol! If you're anything like us, after your first shot, you'll be hooked on outdoor competitive shooting forever. Whether you're interested in honing your marksmanship skills, entering one of our unique shooting matches, or just trying out some different handguns, rifles or shotguns ... here at Bassi Ranch is the place you'll want to be.
SAFETY STATEMENT: We welcome all shooters! Please read our safety rules posted at each range and practice firearms safety at all times. Never point or direct the muzzle of any firearm at another person, including yourself, regardless if it is unloaded! Do not clear, cycle, manipulate or openly handle firearms while in the parking lot or while carrying firearms to and from the ranges. Place all carry bags on the bench inside your respective shooting stall before removing and handling firearms on the line. We are an open-carry and concealed-carry friendly ranch!
A Tradition of Bullseye Marksmanship
Pistol shooting can be more than just a leisure activity! Come chat with Master-Class Shooter Clint Hilbert and learn more about handgun safety and how to improve your overall shot-group and marksmanship skill.
It's our goal to get folks involved in outdoor shooting sports and to recruit new shooters for all disciplines!
