My first experience with Coal Creek Armory

[Major Kong]

For what it's worth, I had some friends that were relatively new to handguns ask me to take them to the range last weekend. We all live in West Knoxville, less than 10 minutes from CCA. I drove them 30 minutes to Gunny's instead. Frontier Firearms also has much better service, is less than 30 minutes away from Knoxville and will have a new indoor range open up this spring (March I think).

Short answer = far.

We're north of Nashville a bit, by about 20-30mins or so.

But if you want to make a day of it, lemme know, I'll tell you a day I have off and we can shoot on our range/eyeball stuff all you want.

I looked on the gunshop map and figured it out. I might take you up on the offer sometime I have a friend that lives in cookville and I might just stay the night with him sometime and we could come the rest of the way. He loves shooting my ar-15 when its cold like it is now we take 5 gallon buckets and use them as molds and take out the ice chunks and shoot them for fun.

Cool! I'm going home to fill up some 5 gallon buckets, great idea

I've bought guns and shot at Coal Creek's range a number of times. I'ver never been a member. Service is okay from my perspective if they aren't real busy. Prices? I bought a collector grade gun and the price was fair to slightly high based on my knowledge. Still bought it.
