Not used Chicken Barns?

[Hozzie]

Strange request maybe, but does anyone in middle TN know of any old chicken barns that are not being used and may have a contact?

As many know I shoot Rimfire Benchrest and we have various venues around the southeast where we shoot indoors during the fall and winter and many of them are old chicken barns.  It wouldn’t have to be, but it needs to be able to have room for 50 yards and some room for a cleaning area.  
 

I would like to see if I can find somewhere within say an hour of Nashville (preferably south) where I could lease one of these old buildings to hold matches.  I’ll be glad of course to discuss all details with anyone who may have more info.  
 

if you happen to know of somewhere that could be a possibility I would appreciate any info.  Please PM if you do. 
 

Thanks,

Jamie

Strange request indeed but I’m curiously interested.  

If you find such a facility is all the chicken poop cleared out?

It would be before we put in benches and shoot .

May also look for old warehouses.

Be aware that there may be some serious ventilation requirements for indoor shooting. The last thing you want is to be even remotely responsible for your participants breathing in lead and mercury vapors. The second to the last thing you want is a visit from the EPA.

I’m well aware.  This isn’t for commercial use.

Luckily, most chicken barns have huge ventilation fans.

Just to give an idea, this is one in NC we used to shoot at.  (Bad pic, but gives you an idea of what we do with them).

Yeah, it would be ARA matches.
