Our Story

Thirty years of East Tennessee wing shooting.

A family-run outdoor enterprise built on recreation, quality, and doing things the local, sustainable way.

Who We Are

Making memories in the field for three decades.

For 30 years, R&D Adventures has provided high-quality, affordable wing shooting for ring-necked pheasant, bobwhite quail, and chukar partridge. We're in the business of making memories — unforgettable dog work, hard-flying birds, and customer service second to none.

We appeal to nature lovers of every kind: hunters, anglers, bird watchers, agri-tourists, and localvores. And we're firmly committed to the responsible use of the land and lakes of East Tennessee, which is our home and our primary base of operation.

Owners

Dale & Rebecca Myers.

R&D Adventures is a family operation, run by Dale and Rebecca Myers. We consistently receive five-star Google reviews from both longtime and first-time customers — and we think that's because we treat every guest like family.

Whether it's a child's first flush, a corporate group's retreat, or a seasoned wingshooter's return trip, we build the experience around you.

More Than a Hunt
