Rifle ranges in Knoxville?

[wareagle]

Guys: I need to site in a couple of rifles sometome over next few weeks. I have a membership @ Owl Hollow in franklin area, but nothing in Knoxville. Are there any "open" ranges in Knoxville area that can accomodate high power rifles?

Not knoxville but Chilhowee rod and gun club has a rifle range, 300 yrds is the longest I think.

Is that range open to prospects or limited to members only? tHANKS,

Norris Watershed is the only rifle range that I've been to here in Knoxville other than the privte range that we are allowed to use during our monthly TGO shoots. I think Norris Watershed 's has target stands out to 200 yrds....and I'm sure there are some TWRA ranges around that might give you 100yrds.

Yeah I'd suggest the Norris Watershed Range. Just stop by the Norris Police Department to pay the fee ($15 for a day or $25 per year, cash only), they'll give you a key and directions to the range.

There's a range on Rifle Range Rd. in north Knoxville.

Open to the public, closed on wensday's The military has it the first weekend of every month, so it's off limit's then.

Only a hundred yard rifle range. They also have a shotgun/skeet range and an archiery range.

Lot of cool history behind the place also.

I can meet you out at our place or I can take you as a guest out to ORSA. I've been wanting to work on my mini-30 and SKS. The benchrest range at ORSA has target stands out to 200 yds and if you are really feeling stout we can set up on the 600 yd, 800 yd or 1000 yd range. Otherwise, Norris is going to be your best bet.
