Nice looking pistol. Looking forward to a range report on it.

no indoor ranges in chattanooga?

I'm moving down there in a couple of weeks and need to know where to go. I saw a sign for a rifle club near the entrance to the subdivision we are moving into (Ooletawah). Any info on that?

there are a couple of indoor ranges in town but i like prentice cooper,its free, and my saved dollars(I save $40-100 bucks/trip)goes to more shooting:D

I have only heard of the place you speak of,let me know how it is if you choose to go!!

[Guest abailey362]

So where is this free range located? and what's the catch?

Prentice Cooper is a Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Most WMA's have free ranges. There is no catch. Just bring your own ammo and targets and grab a "lane" and start shooting. Only downside is that they can be crowded at times.

[strickj]

its on signal mtn.here are some directions:

the only catch is it operates on the honor system,and they ask for shooters to keep it clean

[overthemountain]

Hit Prentice early on Saturday mornings. It's dead until 10ish. The only time I ever had to wait was after sleeping too late. I don't mind going in the rain either. The lanes are covered. You just get a little wet putting up your target...and if that bothers you, you could always shoot at someone else's.

[Guest Disney]

Need a name? Darkness!

[Guest HogMan]

A thing of beauty, nice curves:drool:

[Guest olretiredgunney]

I'll guarentee you it shoots GOOD.I got one of the first ones out and its a tack driver!

dude, wars are fought in the rain!!! sheesh, get out there!!! its WATER:D

ummm, bring a pop up tarp thingy, or set an umbrella up..LOL...

[Daniel]

if it aint rainnin'.....

[strickj]

it shoots great!but its got a little rough spot on the ramp,guess ill have to spend endless time putting more rounds through her to smooth it out,sucks to be me

[Guest Boomhower]

I had the same thing on my EMP after my first session at the range. I didn't have a dremel, so the feeding issues really popped up on my second range session. By the third trip to the range, I had bought a dremel, polished the gunk off the ramp, and the issues have went away. Hopefully a forth trip will come soon, so i can verify my presumptions.

And it only sucks to be your wallet....not you!

[strickj]

its not a bad issue at all

and me and my wallet had a lil chat about it,and hes cool with it:D
