Our Mission Statement

At Valor Ridge, our purpose is to ensure that you leave with the confidence, competence, and ability to protect yourself and your family. We emphasize the practical elements of training and self-defense in our classes.

Valor Ridge

Our trainers have a mix of military, law enforcement, and security services background. In short, they have walked the walk, and wish to share their experience and methods with YOU.

Valor Ridge is a firearms training school. We offer handgun training and rifle training in East Tennessee. We have a pistol range, several rifle ranges that span from 3 yards to over 600 yards. This firearms training school is dedicated to the American Republic, its Founding Fathers, and principles, and to our students, who have inherited that birthright of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

We forge the past and the present, and history literally resonates in the hills. Spread across eighty-one acres of pristine land, Valor Ridge is an experience. Come walk, train, and shoot in the same hills that Daniel Boone ran through.

We believe that self-defense is a God-given natural right, inalienable, and absolute. We believe in the principles of the Declaration of Independence, limited government as expressed by our Constitution, and an armed society of free citizens as expressed in our Bill of Rights.

“As a woman who grew up around guns and married a man extremely interested in firearms, I was no stranger to the idea or handling of guns. I have carried a pistol with me for over 3 years with the hopes that I would never have to use it.“

R.D.
