All - Probably moving to TN in the next year. Two options are listed above. Interested in all pros/cons about each and local shooting ranges. I plan on joining Oak Ridge since they have 3 gun matches in addition to other competitions. Other housing options in E TN are also welcome.

Both are nice and depending on your hobbies both have distinctive advantages.
Both are close enough to the Oak Ridge range and area lakes. Both are close to public hunting lands. Fairfield Glades is also about as close to Dead Zero range in Spencer. FFG is also closest to Buccee's. If you're into golf it's got several really nice courses in the area. The advantages of Tellico Plains are better scenery, world class trout fisheries nearby, no interstate real close and no Buccee's. |

Tellico Plains and Tellico Village are two entirely different places/areas. They really aren’t that close to each other, at least 45 minutes to an hour from each other. The comparison of TV to FFG can be close to the same but very different at times. FFG being on the plateau and at a higher elevation tends to have longer, colder winters although most winters the last few years have been milder. Access to medical care/facilities is better at TV in my opinion. Both have golf courses, but the edge there might go to FFG. |

Thanks - Both assessments are spot on. The housing market in TV is way more expensive than FFG. I really can't justify dropping $500K + on a 3/2 home. Some of the driveways are sheer inclines. How someone thinks they can navigate that is beyond me. It was dry on Monday and I was sober. Walking down the driveway was a serious challenge. I think billy goats would be casting a sideways glance thinking - "Are you outta your John Brown mind."
TV has better local amenities and FFG is a bit more rural. Less traffic for sure. Back to the Ouiji Board. |

I dont know about Fairfield, but Tellico Village has a very restrictive POA that I personally would have a hard time with. For example, no parking in your driveway overnight, must park in your garage.

I bought in Crossville. Just a few miles from Fairfield Glades. For shooting I plan on using the Fairfield Glade Sports. Mostly because it is less than a mile from home. I am not sure if it has any of the fun shooting games but for the first year it will serve me fine. I will still need a place to shoot my NFA. https://www.ffgsc.com/

I didn't see that in the rules, but would be an absolute deal breaker for me. The point is moot because I decided TV is no longer a viable option. FFG or maybe Oak Ridge.
Thx for that comment tho. |

Lots of Very Northerners there, as well. Take that for what it's worth. |
