Atlanta, GA area outdoor rifle ranges
Hey guys!
I'm curious about any public outdoor shooting ranges around Atlanta where I can try out my rifles. I know there are quite a few private clubs that might let me do a trial, but any place in particular will you recommend to me? I wanted to hear somebody's personal opinion.
Thanks!

RE: Atlanta, GA area outdoor rifle ranges
Myself, i shoot over the summer at my hunting camp. But there are a few guys at work that go to a Dekalb county out off I-20 that is run by police they say is pretty good and also one a little up north called Charles Evans Wild Life Managment thats supposedbe good...There's a indoor one at the farmers market over by the airport but they say that one is kinda so so. Thats about all I know about them.You can go online to see a list of them. there are a few around but never been to them..Hope this helps...

I can't seem to find any information on the Charles Evans WMA... Doesn't come up in google. But I will keep on looking!

Wildlife Center. There are also ranges at: Beaverdam, Big Hammock, Big Lazer Creek, Bullard Creek, Cohutta, Dixon Memorial, Hannahatchee, John's Mountain, Mayhaw, Ocmulgee, Richmond Hill, West Point, Wilson Shoals, and Yuchi WMAs. Get a copy of the hunting regulations and directions to get to each of them will be included in the season information per WMA.Most of these ranges are served on a first come basis no fees required with the possible exception of being required to have a WMA stamp. Check with the DNR Regional office for those particulars. Atlanta is in DNR Region 3, the Game Management office number for that region is: 770-918-6416. If you are right in Atlanta, the closest one might well be West Point WMA. Have fun!!!

RE: Atlanta, GA area outdoor rifle ranges
Clybel sounds much more familiar! I will definately give them a call to find out how to get there.
Now before I overuse my welcome, I wanted to ask just a basic info on WMA ranges: what can I shoot at there? Are only paper targets allowed, and if not - what else can I bring?
I know I probably should ask them about details on this, but I just wanted to get basic understanding on this subject before I start asking specific questions over the phone.
I only fired my weapons in indoor ranges so far.
Thanks!!
