Tactical type range in Nashville???

[wrenchhead97]

I will be buying a 1911 in the next few months, and really want to get back into shooting competition. (I shot .177 NRA small bore 3 position style in HS with my Army JROTC Battallion. Actually fared better than most with an average 3 position score of 275 of 300 when the average competitor was shooting 240s.) My problem is this, I have focused on my car for the past few years, and have pretty much stopped shooting. Because of this combined with the fact that I am a relatively new import to TN (Been here for 5 years or so.), I do not know much about the local shooting scene aside from where a couple of the standard indoor and outdoor ranges are along with TN Clay Target Complex.

I would love to find a range where I could practice some of the "Run and gun" type techniques required for speed shooting competition.

TIA for any info, Ben H.

I've never heard of one around here. I did run into a place called Rattlesnake Ridge up in Clarksville while I was at the gun show Sat, but I've never talked to anyone who's attended

What's your definition of a "Tactical type range"?

How far are you willing to drive from Nashville or your location which is where?

Are you looking to shoot handguns or longguns or both?

[wrenchhead97]

Handguns, and a range with mobile type shooting instead of fixed position firing line type ranges... Also, live in SE Nashville.

If you're near I-24 I would shoot with these guys

About 1 Hour SE of Nashville

About 30 Minutes SE of Murfreesboro

Depending on your location you might consider these guys

About 1 Hour West of Nashville

I'm a member at Maury County Gun Club

About 1 Hour South of Nashville

You will be able to move and shoot as you want at MCGC but not as much of a competitor club as the two above.

Other local clubs of interest.

http://www.gallatingun.com/ (IDPA Matches but Membership Closed)

http://www.mctsclub.com/ (IDPA & USPSA Matches but looking for perminent range)

If you become interested in 3 Gun Matches let me know, there are a couple more places to go but not as close.
