Guntry, an indoor shooting facility, will open its second location at The Highlands in Ohio County, West Virginia.

Warton says The Highlands was selected as Guntry’s second national location because of the people.
”It’s always a good thing when you’re when you’ve got something new, something that’s just not the same old thing that’s been around forever and something that really adds a little bit of quality to the people that are going to really enjoy this.”
