Where to Shoot Shotguns Outdoors (Nashville Area)

[Hammer285]

Does anyone know of a good outdoor Shotgun range in the Mt. Juliet/Nashville area? I have a Mossy 500 Persuader that has been collecting dust and never been fired. Kind of want put it through the paces.

 

I know there are a few indoor ranges that allow shotguns (nRange), but I'd prefer to be outdoors. Also, I'm not looking for any place fancy where I'll get looks for showing up with a pump action. 

 

Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Stones River, but you gotta use slugs. They don't want you shooting up the target stands.

The sporting clays complex out in Bordeaux is a great way to blow an afternoon.

On 65 there's plenty of signs demanding to be made holy.

The closest place I know of is in Woodbury. They have a "pit" where you can shoot pellets/shot as much as you want.

 

Here's a link to their FB page, if you can hold your nose long enough to use FB... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ok-Corral-Shooting-Range/176107609185970

Why can't you just walk out on the back deck? Fire a couple blasts in the air to test function. As a bonus, any bad guys hiding in the weeds will flee.

Just kidding, don't do that. If you were in ETN, I could make a couple recommendations.

That Sporting Clay range off Briley Parkway is a pretty cool place. went there twice a couple years back with a friend and its a nice place. Friend was shooting. My shoulders won't let me shoot anymore.............. :up: :up:

+1 to the Nashville Gun Club (aka the sporting clay range off of Briley Pky near Bordeaux) for clay pigeons. They don't have a target stand range, so if you want to shoot at paper, you'll have to look elsewhere. They're strictly trap, skeet, and sporting clays.

Thanks guys. Looks like the sporting clay range is closest so I'll check it out.

Haha. ..if I wasn't in city limits I would. It's illegal to even shoot a pellet gun here.

Since you're in MJ, the closest is going to be the Gallatin Gun Club, but it's private, so members and their guests only. They have a waiting list. If you're going to be in M.J. for a while, I suggest you look into it. They have a 300 yard range plus 2 trap stands. Send an email to ronjackson@comcast.net to get on the waiting list.

For skeet, trap and sporting clays, Cedar City is close. It's a club, but open most weekends.
