Information on OK Corral?

[DaveTN]

I haven’t been to this yet, but now that’s it’s been going for a while how crowded is it on weekends?

Do you have to wait for rifle lanes?

Can I drive my vehicle close to the area where you shoot? (I usually bring a bunch of guns) If not, about how far do you have to walk?

I know they have a FaceBook page, but I would rather hear from members that have been there recently.

I haven't been there since it started getting hot, but unless they made some major changes in the last few months, my info should still be okay...

how crowded is it on weekends?

It can get pretty crowded on a normal weekend, but not more so than any other range.  Their location in the middle of an out of the way place like Woodbury helps keep it under control compared to a central location like say Stones River.  If you can swing it, going there on a weekday is a breeze and quite enjoyable. 

Do you have to wait for rifle lanes?

I've never had to wait for one, but if they have a full crowd, then yes.  They only have about 12-15.  There is no real timing system, people pay their $5, and in theory, they could occupy a lane all day long.  Your real wait will be in between firing.  They don't use any kind of range control, so it's a collective decision when the range is cold or hot, and you can go check/change targets.  If there are people shooting at the 200yd target, the time for them to walk there and back can be a minute.

Can I drive my vehicle close to the area where you shoot? (I usually bring a bunch of guns) If not, about how far do you have to walk?

For the rifle range, you park right behind the covering for the firing line.  The pistol areas have parking too, but not right next to all of them, so you may have to walk about 25-50yds from the car to the range area.  Not too bad at all.  Also worth note, if there is a carry permit class going on, they'll have exclusive use of a pistol bay for their quals.  There are four bays overall, so there should be pistol slots open regardless.

It's a decent haul from Wilson Co, so we made a day of it. Packed a cooler with drinks and a lunch. We shot for awhile, ate, chatted with the owner for awhile then spent some time in the shotgun pit. Had a blast. If memory serves, we went on a Friday morning and it got busy but not crowded.

I usually go during the week and shoot, most of the time I am the only one there shooting. I have been during the weekend and the only location I had to wait for was the pit. I know they are working on the remodel of the pistol ranges at the moment and you may not be able to shoot at the moment. You can back your truck right up to the pistol ranges pit and pretty much the long rifle range. I enjoy shooting there because no one bothers you and you can work on shooting drills.
