Gun range in Tullahoma?

[Kelemvor]

I was out cycling with my wife and her folks and we rode by this nice looking gun range with a bunch of covered shooting lanes. It was on Cumberland Springs road. Do any of you guys know anything about this range? My father-in-law wants to get back to shooting more often, but he doesn't want to do the 40min drive out to Terry Walden's place.

I used to shoot there many years ago, like in the late 80's or early 90's. I'm pretty sure that a club owns/runs it and it's for members only. I'm thinking it was like a black powder club or something similar.

Edit: Don't hold me to this. I'm going off what I remember my step-dad telling me when we quit going there 15+ years ago.

In the late 70's / early 80's i think the local police dept. used it.Maybe check with them and see who runs it now.

I believe there is a range out at Hoselton Ventures on Turkey Creek Rd. I know they dug it out, but I never see anyone there, so I don't know if they are open or what.

The pistol range is open.

I don't think this is Hoselton Ventures. It's definitely in Cumberland Springs. I think this is it on google maps:

turkey creek rd, tullahoma, tn - Google Maps

ignore where it says turkey creek, that was just in the search field when I grabbed the link.

Is Hoselton pretty good though?

I called my step-dad last night to confirm this. It was a muzzleloader only club and at the time they were prosecuting any others caught there. Again this would have been in the early 90's so I have no idea what it's used for now.

Hoselton's is probably 5+ miles away from this range. You can't confuse the two, there is a gun shop at Hoselton's range.

I went there last year so I don't remember a lot of the details but it was okay by me. I can't swear to the following details so call if you want to be sure. I don't remember the max distance but I'm thinking it was around 15-18 yards or so. They had 8 lanes I believe and they were covered. The shooting area and where you walk out to the targets is all gravel, so no getting muddy. Each lane has it's own target holder sled that can be pulled closer if you want but there was a minimum distance of about 7 yards. Each lane had a chair. You can keep your brass if you want but you still have to clean your area if you don't. The cost was something odd like maybe $16-$18. When I shot there was no range officer so everybody calls the clear and hot on there own.

The store/shop is geared more towards long guns since it's more of an outdoors/hunting shop but does have pistols.

I hope this helps.

Was it really that high?! When I called to ask the price they told me like $6 a day.

Cumberland Springs is a club owned/operated range and is for all weapons. A friend of mine is a member. The maximum range is 100 yds. Unfortunately, I have no futher details.

My bad. I called at it's $8 per shooter. That makes sense now when I said the $16 because my son was with me.

Also the distance is 55 ft. or roughly 18 yards.

I was just going to post this info. I stopped by there today and asked.

Do you know the name of the club? Is there any way I could get an email address or a phone number?
