Hey I'm just wondering if anyone knows if the Shelby Farms outdoor range is open. I was driving down Humphries and noticed the gate was open and there were cars driving around.

There are two ranges out at Shelby Farms, one is the Sheriff Departments the other was a former skeet range and gun range. The Sheriff Depts range is located Dovecrest/Gardner Road, southwest of the prisons. I live close enough that I can hear them shoot, especially at night and when they are shooting full auto. It's a lot of fun to hear. Also hear them a lot when I am running on the greenline. Would love to be able to go over there. They also have a driving course over there too and some other not sure what they are buildings.

The former, notice former, skeet and gun range is located near Walnut Grove and Farm road. That one has been and is closed. The pond that you use to shoot skeet over is being used by folks with RC boats. If you look at Bing maps and find there range, their are running/mountain bike trails directly behind the backstop.

I don't think it will ever open again because of that. The amount of runners/hikers/walkers/bikers that use those trails on a daily basis far outweigh the number of people that used the range. Also there is the cost/liability thing to I would imagine.

Is there an outdoor range in western TN (Memphis-Dyersburg)? I have found several indoor, pistol ranges, but I would like to know of anything that has skeet or rifle.
