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

[wileecoyote]

Do they have a guest policy? What are their hours?

[shaftbass]

Guest policy is:

- $15 per guest per visit (each guest max 2 visits per year)

- Guest  must sign a waiver

- Member cannot be shooting while guest is shooting and is responsible for the guest knowing and following range safety rules.

 

The range is open to members 24/7, but the general range shooting times are from dawn to dusk.  During winter months, the pistol range will be open untill 8:30PM.

 

I'm fine with that guest policy.  Guests can be dangerous.  Hence why I do not use public ranges anymore.

Since nobody mentioned it.

 

Aside from being able to shoot out to 1250, they have target cameras that are operational all the time (provided there is sun to charge them). Just tune them to the distance you are shooing.

 

Best part of shooting .308 at the 1250 target is. After you take shot, you have time to take off your muffs, watch the hit and wait for the sound to come back!   :)

 

They also allow .50 BMG. You must take a class for that as well but good to go after that. Friend of mine shooting some $10 dollar bills last time we were there!

It is as good as everyone is saying!

Welp, couldn't get there Wednesday, so I'm going for my membership meeting/orientation thingy Sunday.
Can anyone tell me; can I join & shoot the same day?

Probably not because he does background check before you get your membership.

You can if you're a guest of a member.

[Handsome Rob]

Ah, righto. Thanks what I figured.

[shaftbass]

When i joined last weekend, we were allowed to shoot after we'd paid and went through the safety orientation that same day even though we had not been officially vetted and had our credentials yet. You just need to grab a guest pass. Edited February 7, 2015 by shaftbass

If you get the membership paperwork filled out and mailed to them with your dues in advance you can pick up your badge, do your safety orientation, and then shoot the same day. If you drive down and do paper work while you're there, you'll have to wait for your background check to go through.

Great place to shoot though. I almost made a trip down this morning.

Sitting here waiting for the safety orientation to start. Too bad I have to leave as soon as it is over to go to work.

Common sense tells me that if they let guests shoot; they will let you shoot while you are there joining.

[Handsome Rob]

Common sense.....

You still believe in that? :D

[Alleycat72]

If you're there tomorrow, I'll be the guy with the big beard. (Not the one in a kilt)

[Handsome Rob]

Oh cool! I'll be the one with the big goatee (possibly in a kilt, don't rule anything out)

I'm planning on being there tomorrow with one of my daughters. I've been a member at the old Owl Hollow range for a few years now, but we are looking for a change from just shooting paper or clays off of the berm. I don't have anything that will reach out  beyond ~150 yds, so I'll mostly be interested in the 22 and short range stuff.

[Djay3]

Owl Hollow will still fill a very nice nitch as a nice relaxing range with opportunities to shot at 100 yards and less distances.
Newer shooters might find it a somewhat less intimidating atmosphere.

Strategic Edge is an excellent facility with a somewhat different atmosphere and manner of operating. Its two rifle ranges lean strongly towards longer range shooting. It might appeal more to intermediate and above level shooters. Of course they have training for and encourage new shooters.

We're fortunate that mid state shooters have both style ranges at hand! Edited February 8, 2015 by Djay3

[Dustbuster]

There are pits that allow u to shoot rifle short distance.. The pit with steel targets is off limits to rifles. I'm a owl hollow member as well, good guys there as well,always willing to help out and make the experience enjoyable! Edited February 8, 2015 by Dustbuster

Does anyone know, can you just go out there and sign up or do you have to schedule it for one of their pre-defined days.  I would prefer to go in the middle of the week when it is less busy and not have to go at a specific time.

You'll need to go during one of the registration/safety orientation times:  http://www.strategicedge.us/gun-range/calendar

[Tempest455]

Call ahead. If Tony is there he might sign you up on the spot if you are lucky. Otherwise during a scheduled sign up time probably is best.

Thanks, I have left a message for Tony to see if he could work me in.

[Handsome Rob]

Hozzie, when I went & did mine on Sunday, there were only 9 or 10 of us. The range itself wasn't crazy busy (maybe 6 total in the rifle houses & 5 in the pistol pits)
The meeting/orientation took about an hour.
Oh, and once you've been through the walk through, you can shoot there & then with a guest pass.
I received my gate codes & membership confirmation email on Monday lunchtime.
Now to get on the long-range intro.....

[JohnC]

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