I moved from Cali to Knoxville


Recommended Posts

Hi everybody.

I recently moved ( escaped ?) from bay area / California to Knoxville. So far I was pretty busy with relocation / kids and schools / work etc. And only now it looks like I finally got some time I can spend on myself. Pretty common situation... I brought some stuff I could not use in Cali in hope to start shooting again more or less regularly. I prefer long range shooting, so planning to check if I can visit ORSA. Do you know if I can just stop by and apply for membership? I saw on their website that it needs to be sponsored by a current member, but unfortunately I know nobody in this area. I appreciate  any advice, thank you in advance.

Welcome aboard @smallfish and welcome to TN.

I am local to you, West Knoxville.

I mainly shoot handgun at Point Blank these days, but I've been a member at ORSA since I relocated here in '06.

Windrock Shooting Range in Oliver Springs is a good place to shoot as well. Great folks there in my experience.

As @hipower mentioned, there's several of us around here. Current commitments and situations limit my time and availability at the moment unfortunately. But things change, all in time. 🙂

Welcome to East TN and TGO. I live in Lenoir City and have an office in West Knoxville. I'm also a member of ORSA. Be glad to show you around sometime. Little busy for the next week or so but am trying to get out there every Monday afternoon to start long range stuff.

Its all about the West Side in Knox-vegas....

Third recommendation for the ORSA club, was a member there for a few years, fantastic place. If you shoot once a month, its worth the $$$ to become a member. Great facility, multiple ranges of every flavor (skeet, pistol, rifle, steel), and great people!

Bench rifle range available to all members out to 200 yds, beyond that you need to join the High Power Rifle club (free), and access to longer range targets (up to 1000yds) is limited to certain days/times. My first year I was able to join without a sponsor, but I'd wager someone here would give you a tour and sign your application. We just need to verify all that Kalifornia Kraziness got dropped off at the Mississippi! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
