Some questions about Stones River Shooting Range??

[DaveTN]

I have never been there, I am going to shoot both handgun and rifle and I have some questions.

I thought I read somewhere that they don’t allow silhouette targets; true? That is all I have; do they sell targets?

Do I need anything to put up targets… stapler, hammer, etc?? (I’m spoiled by indoor ranges )

Any other tips I should know?

They have push pins for the targets. You are correct, no silhouettes, but the provide targets free of charge.

I STRONGLY suggest calling them 1st before going out there. I dove out there a couple of weeks ago only to be greeted by locked gates.

Here's all the info I have on them:
