Hello all, first post here.Hope this is posted in the right place. I live in West Knoxville and have two boys I am easing into shooting/hunting. I am looking for a place to shoot/plink with my boys and our 22's mostly. We went to an indoor range yesterday which is ok in a sense, but I would much prefer an outdoor range. I know there are a few ranges in the area, but I am looking somewhere to join that we can plink and not be too crowded. I would also like a range where we can shoot basically any (safe) target we bring with us. I was wondering if you all could provide any insight to this for me. Options are listed below:
1) ORSA - $120 for all family membership, have heard its a great facility and I have someone that could sponsor me as well. The 120 does cover the whole family from what I've read. Worried about being crowded, but have read they a have dedicated plinking range.
2) Norris Watershed Range - $40? a year, haven't confirmed this yet, need to make some phone calls. Does this apply to just one person, or would that cover my boys as well?
I will not go to the range at John Sevier on Rifle Range Rd. I understand being safe, but being a butt hole at the same time should not be a requirement.
Thanks,
Jordan
