Knoxville Area Firing Range

[Guest Grot]

Are there any Knoxville area Ranges where Rifle calibers can be shot?

[chemprof]

Coal Creek Armory has the following on their website. I shoot my 22LR and 45 Colt rifles there, in addition to shotgun slugs only (no shotshell). The other stuff is probably going to be outdoors at Norris, John Sevier, ORSA, etc.

From CCA:

"The range is pistol caliber only. Long guns in pistol calibers, such as 22wmr, .45 Colt, and .30 Carbine, may be used. Rifle calibers, such as .223, .375 H&H, and .308, are not permitted on the range. In general, bottleneck or high powered rifle cartridges are not permitted. Also S&W .460 handguns are not permitted."

HTH a little... Others on here can chime in with more details, I'm sure.

Runningfree beat me to it!! I've been wanting to go to the John Sevier range myself!

Here's another link that lists a bunch of places and what's available. The link may not be updated, haven't checked it in a while.

That was fast, thanks.

Im looking into getting something chambered in 7.62x54r and want to make sure i will be able to shoot it.

Either getting an Original Sniper Mosin or a Romanian PSL Dragunov. Havent decided yet.

Doofus.

We can go to my property in Tellico and shoot, but it is a bit of a drive.

PM sent

[Guest Grot]

Got your PM Ken, and Murg im up to go if your ever heading out that way and want some company.

[Murgatroy]

It is peaceful out there. Once you ignore my mother.

It will give you a place to shoot that shotgun you have been hanging on to for ages as well.

[Guest Grot]

Yea it will.

Im supposed to go with a friend of mine out to harrogate next week to go shooting, but i dunno if thats gonna pan out.

Join the Moose's lodge. Its off Callahan.

[Major Kong]

ORSA. It's only $120 a year for membership and you can shoot pretty much anything except for .50 BMG. Benchrest range (out to 200 yards), indoor pistol, plinking range, plus a 1,000 yard range for long shooting. It's the best deal in East Tennessee (unless you own enough land to have your own range).

it has a pistol range, 100 yard rifle range and a couple of covered shooting benches. There is no cost to use it. I have been there one time and it was fine. It is off of Sharps Chapel road up by Norris Lake. Call the number for better directions. And did i mention it is free?

Open membership. Pay an app fee for first time then yearly. Around $100 to start.

[Guest Letereat!]

I like the secret moose handshake a lot better than $100.00
