Welcome to Piney Woods Shooting

About the Creator
I’m Ethan Darnell, a lifelong shooter and outdoor enthusiast who grew up learning the value of precision, patience, and responsibility at the range. After years of participating in competitions and mentoring new shooters, I noticed a gap: too many people lacked access to clear, honest, and locally relevant information. That’s why I created Piney Woods Shooting—to build a space where knowledge is shared freely, safety is prioritized, and the shooting community can thrive.
Why This Website Exists
Piney Woods Shooting was born from a simple idea: great shooting experiences shouldn’t be reserved for those who already know the ropes. I’ve seen too many beginners feel overwhelmed or misinformed. This site exists to change that. Every article, guide, and event listing is written with one goal in mind—helping you feel confident, prepared, and connected.
Our Values
Our approach is grounded in three core principles:
- Safety First—Every tip, tutorial, and recommendation prioritizes responsible handling and awareness.
- Community Over Competition—We celebrate progress, not just precision.
- Authenticity—No fluff, no sponsored hype—just real advice from real shooters.
