Setting up a Chattanooga area - Prentice Cooper Meet and Shoot.

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

Can someone Pm me directions to Prentice Cooper from Dayton? I've never been there. And can I bring my 13 year old son to Prentice Cooper? Thanks...

[RobertNashville]

The 12th should work for me and I'll bring a few toys myself...let's hope for decent weather!

Likewise on directions for me as well...never been there and not all that terribly familiar with the Chattanooga area!

Prentice Cooper Shooting Range

It is not "manned" its a free outdoor range open to all from daylight to dusk, at your own risk. Therefore a 13 year old is more than welcome, as is anyone else. I used to go there a bit when I lived closer to it.

[morrisster]

doh. the 5th worked for me. the 12th doesn't though. Mousegunner is a great guy - have fun meeting him. I wish I could come out and see all of everyones toys. maybe next time.

Who's bringing the vests?

[RobertNashville]

Who's bringing the vests?

Do you mean bulletproof or orange/hunting vest (or both)?

[sigmtnman]

Both wouldn't hurt.

[NextExit]

Tempting.... but would be a 300 mile roundtrip for me.

[RobertNashville]

Hey you can do it...it will be about a 200 mile round trip for me!

[onemancoyote]

Sorry Morrisster. I didn't mean to cut you out.

[Guest Lester Weevils]

Hopefully weather will be kind.

Most of the snow was melted last Monday and it wasn't real cold. Got my lazy butt out of the house and drove up to PC, and they had a big "road closed" sign on the PC entrance road. There was still some snow/ice on that road, but ought to have been passable.

Maybe they close it to keep ATV folk from destroying wet roads? Was kinda disappointing to have to turn around and go back home without shooting.

[onemancoyote]

I drove by at 9:00 Sunday night to check and see if the sign was up and it wasn't. I came back on Monday morning and it was. Doh.

I'm going this Friday. I have a backlog of guns to get sighted in. I'll let ya'll know what time if anyone wants to hang out.

[onemancoyote]

Morisster, how about me, mousegunner, and a few others that live close by plan to meet on another day. I'm fine with running up there because it is only 10 minutes from the house. Pick a weekend and I'm probably free.

[medipedicman]

So is it the 12th??

[onemancoyote]

I'm coming on the 12th.

[RobertNashville]

So is it the 12th??

I'm planning to be there on the 12th...the only thing that would change that would be really crappy weather (i.e. heavy rain or really cold).

[onemancoyote]

This is still on, but I'm going to be about an hour late. I should be there at 11:00 Eastern/10:00 Central. I'm chairman of the parkboard and I have to attend a meeting.

We need a way to distingush ourselves so does eveyone want to wear blaze orange? Any other suggestions?

If you can't make it to this one we are going to do another one next month, so no worries.

I don't have any blaze orange (or any orange for that matter).

I'm sure we can find some way to identify everyone can't we?

[onemancoyote]

I'm open for suggestions.

[strickj]

My attendance is still uncertain at this moment, but if I do make it, yall can just look for me, the gimp.

I stick out like a turd in a punch bowl at ranges. A tactical turd at that

[mav]

Well, as long as the weather holds, which it looks good so far, I will be there. This will be my first time going to PC, so I hope it isn't too hard to find.

[RobertNashville]

Weather does look good so far - let's hope it holds!!!

I'm planning to bring either a SCAR or an FS2000 or both (both are 5.56 of course)...also will bring at least one of my 1911s (45 ACP) and likely my Glock 20 (10MM). Anyone who would like to shoot any of those are welcome to do so (although I'd appreciate it if you can use your ammo and/or that I get to shoot one of yours in exchange!).

Can anyone clue me in on the "parking" and/or road or lane to get to the range? I'm wondering because I my drive my sports car if the weather is actually decent but of course sports cars don't like rough gravel/dirt roads, etc...if the terrain isn't favorable to a sports car I can always use my SUV.

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

As of now my son and I will be there. Is everyone meeting up there around 10:00?

[RobertNashville]

I'm sorry to say that it doesn't look as if I'm going to make it; at least not before most everyone will probably be ready to leave. I'm going to have to spend at least most of the morning on Saturday working. Thankfully; I'll be able to do it from home but it still means I couldn't leave until at least late Saturday morning (central time).

[mav]

I was there between 10:15 and 11:45. Unfortunately, I did not get to meet anyone. Did anyone show up? I asked a few people present if they were part of TGO, and all I got were some perplexing stares. Perhaps next time if there is to be a meet and shoot, everyone can meet at Burger King on Signal Mountain Rd before going to the range.
