Shooting near Memphis

[Guest truthsayer]

Does anyone here know of a place in or around Memphis where I can shoot 7.62x39?

Should find plenty of targets on Beale Street...

Seriously... Range USA has AR / Shotgun night on Saturdays from 6-9pm. They do mention no high power centerfire rifles so I would check first.

Memphis Sport Shooting Association on Old Brownsville Rd in Arlington has an really nice facility but they are private and NRA membership is required.

MSSA owns a 185 acre range site at a reasonable driving from Memphis. The grounds include 185 acres of planned land which offers 15, 25, 50 and 100 yard covered pistol and rifle firing points, five skeet and trap fields, two archery ranges, a practical pistol range, 5-stand sporting clays, 2 sporting clays courses, and a 200-600 high power rifle range.

COST OF MEMBERSHIP

Initiation Fee-$400

Dues-$240/year

Spouse-$25

Children- Free

Background Check-$30

NRA-$25/year

Life Membership $3600.00

The Shotgun night has resumed at Range USA, the AR night has not yet resumed however.

The 7.62x39 cannot be shot there, so that is out of the question.

There is also the Desoto Rifle and Pistol club, but the club is closed for hunting until 3/1/09. http://www.desotorifleandpistolclub.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx

Brighton Arms lets you shoot anything under 3600fps (no steel core)...

That's right.. I forgot about those guys... Smaller range best I can recall. maybe 6 lanes so go when they are less likely to be busy.

Thanks for the info on Brighton Arms. I wasn't looking to spend a ton of money to put 20 rounds through a 200 dollar rifle.

Brighton Arms has a lot of eye candy, so be warned;)

No problem, and I think he told me it was $10/range session.

I'll be heading up that way to fire my new AR when I get it finished...
