Im looking to get into some good Live fire exercises and target manipulation from multiple ranges etc. etc.

When i was a kid I lived in Knoxville and my dad just used to take me out to the woods for some good old tree and bottle killing is there anywhere I can Do that anymore Legally?

Coolidge Park is where all the cool kids go to shoot outdoors. :)

Chattanooga Rifle Club and CHRPC are the only two outdoor ranges around besides PC. You can do whatever drills you wish at CHRPC. Shoot multiple targets, shoot in multiple directions, etc. I have no idea about CRC.

Cme out for one of their shoots and check the place out http://www.rangeissafe.com/

Far as shooting in the woods... long as you're not within city limits, you can shoot anywhere you want.

Now this sounds really great but i thought i had to be a member to get in there and it was really really expensive and hard to get a membership without just knowing someone

You can still shoot anywhere you want outside the city limits if it is on your own (or a buddys) property and you have a safe setup. Usually this needs to be far, far away from other people (not just safety, but noise factor). Such places are rare these days, but if you have one, you can do it.

You can NOT shoot trash at the cleveland range, and I suspect the chattanooga one is the same, and PC is also supposed to be no trash allowed. Private property is about the only place non paper can be shot (or possibly approved nonpaper like steel knock downs, clay skeet, etc).

No membership is required to shoot 3-gun, IDPA or cowboy at CHRC. It's just a flat $10 for everyone.

For a membership, their applications requests references to other members. You can meet members at one of the weekly shoots and you'll be G2G. I forget what regular membership fees are (I'm on a discounted rate) but I wanna say it's much less per year then the indoor ranges.

I have no earthly idea what it takes for a CRC membership. I have heard that theirs is much harder to obtain.

coming weekend is idpa. one weekend a month is nothing at all. The cost is 1 nra membership + a small fee per year (100 or less??). Gotta have that NRA membership though. 200 yard max rifle, skeet area, and pistol areas, though the rifle range is best for pistol unless you are shooting at short, indoor type distances (?).
