Strategic Edge Range in Chapel Hill, TN - 1250 Yard Range - Join Now

[JohnC]

How come none of your guns are purple?!

 

None of them are Ford Mustang, Chris aka Reef. (Shaft > Mt Juliet, etc.,  gave away your identity) ;) 

[Alleycat72]

How about Red?

[Alleycat72]

Or green?

[Hozzie]

I am going to go out this weekend I think and try to get signed up.  I have two buddies who I think are going to signup as well.  I hope there is room.

[ProfEngr]

Wish we had a nice place like this near Chatta(nowhere). Or am I just ill informed?

[Handsome Rob]

There's plenty of room!
Even from Chattanooga, it's be worth joining. If you're more than 75 miles away, you get a reduced rate membership (half price, non pro rated, I think)
I'd happily. HAPPILY drive 2 hours to shoot here.
I've been once, & I'm already shopping around for parts to build a long range target gun!

[Tempest455]

It's well worth the drive. We drive 76 miles one way to shoot there.

I haven't been since taking the long range class. But here are a few old pictures.

Hey I shot that gun before...

Indeed! It's set up a bit nicer now. You need to shoot it again soon. :D I have all the APA accessories on there, 20x mil scope, Barrett rings, etc. The only downside is that it tips the scale at 45lbs as it sits now. :rofl: Edited February 13, 2015 by JohnC

Hozzie u won't be disappointed ! Orientation is usually on Sunday's as they say always go online and check the calendar before coming down.

[Hozzie]

Thanks, it shows a member sign-up for Sunday.  I would go Saturday, but my friends that plan to come are married and with Saturday being Valentines day, they figure it is in their best interest to wait until Sunday in case we lose track of time :cheers: .

[Hozzie]

Well, one buddy and I went today and got signed up.  I think it is going to be a great place to shoot as many have mentioned.  I didn't do any shooting today as it was way too cold for me, but there were a couple of crazy people out.

I am considering joining this range, but the distance from Nashville is holding me back. I would only be able to go on weekends and often times weekends are already busy for me.

On that note, how busy are the weekends at the range? How many rifle bays are at each distance as I didn't see this information on their website?

[Alleycat72]

8 or 9 in the 500 yard range and about the same at the 1250. I've never been when I couldn't get a bench. I do shoot on the ground a lot. The 1250 has quite a bit less traffic, so I shoot it mostly.

[JohnC]

I did the 50 BMG and over bore class, but still need to do the long range.

Is it still the same requirements as a year ago? Basically a class and qualify by shooting (dialing in and hitting target) on the LR?

I only got to shoot like twice last year. Just been too busy to get out and play much. Edited June 12, 2015 by JohnC

No shooting test involved in the LR course, just sit through a 3-4 hour class.

Cool. Thanks for the info! I need to get this done so I can finally shoot LR. That's the main reason I joined. :up:

It's actually really informative. Not just a safety/rules rehash, but a full on basic lesson in ballistics. I learnt a heck of a lot!

[Dustbuster]

I've had guests from all over the US and Europe visit this range,everyone pretty much says the same thing:
most incredible, nicest range they've ever been to in their life.

[Tempest455]

The LR class mostly emphasizes how you need to know your bullet dope. And then he points out why.

[TNMTBik3r]

I am signing up out there finally. Calendar shows new member signups is 12-2pm Saturday - is that full 2 hours for the safety orientation once I submit my paperwork? If so I'm not sure I have time tomorrow and will have to head over Sunday morning.  Or is that 2 hours just when they are there accepting walk-in applicants and the safety orientation is another time?

[Hozzie]

It shouldn't take the full two hours.  You can get there a bit early and do your paperwork and pay.  I think at most, the safety orientation will run 90 minutes.  Mine was more like 60, but we got started a bit late due to some stragglers.  I would plan on it being over by 1:30 unless there is a very large group.

[TNMTBik3r]

Great thanks. I will plan on heading out there tomorrow then and hope it wraps up by 1:30 or so.

[Guest]

I was thinking of going down to check it out tomorrow. Is it usually pretty busy or is there plenty of capacity for all?
