Construction began earlier this year at Hidden Brook Sporting Club, setting the stage for a top-tier shooting destination in Wilkes County’s Blue Ridge foothills. Crews have been clearing trees across our 285-acre property, shaping paths for sporting clays, Five Stand, skeet, and trap ranges, and marking stand locations to leverage the rugged terrain. A welcome and registration tent has been in place, greeting early visitors as progress unfolds. Founders and instructors Kelly and Tracey Dickson beamed: “Seeing the land evolve into a shooter’s paradise is beyond exciting—we’re eager for what’s ahead.” With work already rolling, HBSC is on track to become a must-visit spot for all shooters.

In December, the Wilkes County local government and Wilkes EDC announced the upcoming Hidden Brook Sporting Club, a new outdoor recreation destination located in North Wilkesboro. Developed by Kelly and Tracey Dickson, this project will enhance Wilkes County’s outdoor economy by offering activities such as sporting clays, archery, hiking, and event spaces. Hidden Brook Sporting Club will not only attract outdoor enthusiasts but also create jobs, draw tourism, and provide opportunities for residents of all ages and experience levels.
