I'm curious about where everyone likes to shoot. Is there a particular range that you keep coming back to? Share the name and what makes it stand out for you.
 
I actually have 2. Deadcenter (indoor, 25 yds) on Buford Hwy and the DNR range at Wilson Shoals (outdoor, pistol and rifle ranges, 25 to 100 yds, free w/ a GA fishing license, over 65 the have a unlimited GA Lifetime Sportsman License. Shoot for free.
 
Been a member of Marion Road Gun Club since the mid 70's as well as past President. It's just outside of Macon and is extremely well run with multiple matches for rifle and pistol venues.

I've been planning to make a day of going to one of the DNR gun ranges. It's a bit of a trip from here in Elberton but the ranges look like they are well designed and maintained. Most of the shooting here requires a club membership and all of them have long waiting lists.

Not the Wilson Shoals range. I don't know if others do.
 
John's mountain, it's just remote enough it's easy to get in, pity it's only 100 yards.
 
My two grand sons and I like to shoot at Gunsmoke (old Hi Caliber) on Hwy 5 in Holly Springs
Tuesday 50% off for Seniors
Thursday free for ladies

Does Wilson Shoals have a place where I could shoot pistol at 50 yards?
 
Wilson Shoals has 25 yard pistol and 100 yard rifle. the two ranges are separate (but next to each other).
I have shot the rifle range and set target stand at 50 yards for some old black powder rifles i was trying to get on paper - no problem with that.

There are RSO there, and they are serious (but NOT jerks) about their job, so i wouldn't assume you could. Have to ask rifle RSO if its possible.
I typically go up there in the middle of the week in the AM and its pretty quiet and chill.
