I thought it would be a good idea if everyone would post their ranges and brief description and link<if available> This way we could begin to compile a list of places to shoot for event planning. mike |

FOP range in pleasent grove AL. Public range 10.00 per day. Complete line of gun care and reloading supplies sold in club house. www.foprangeinc.com |

www.blue-and-gray.org 200 yd, 100 yd, 50 yd (covered), and a "plinkin area" about $30 a year for NRA members. Not very fancy, but I feel alot "safer" than the public range at Swan Creek by decatur... This is a members only club, I have only recently joined...You can bring guests though, and there is no charge for guests like I see other clubs charge. They don't do full auto there because they are on leased land from the TVA right on Guntersville dam road. The TVA doesn't want that much lead in the soil there any of course they don't want any bad publicity or anything like that. They seem to take everything very seriously, as it should be (and because the lease is renewed every year, so we have to be good.  |
I've been shooting at Swan Creek for several years & while I've heard of some serious problems there, I've never experienced any myself. However, Swan Creek is about the only place that I do carry, mainly to try and prevent any problems. Rick Congrats on becoming a mod here Mike. I haven't visited this palce in a looooooong time! It's good to be back. |

There are a couple of good ranges near me. The Mobile Shooting Center in way out west Mobile county. They have pretty nice 100 yard rifle, 25 yard pistol and clay shooting ranges. The folks that run the place are very nice and helpful. The prices on guns are pretty good too. Woody Woodworth (AR15.com member) is their web master. The Precision Shooting Club is just north of me in Saraland. They have a nice indoor pistol range and pretty good handgun inventory. They hold IPSC matches as well as steel plate and bowling pin matches.  NRA Life Member GOA Life Member SAF Supporter SAS Supporter |

Moss Hill Gun Club, a private club/range in west Mobile County with a rifle range out to about 290 - 300 yards along a pistol range. Covered posistions. Some steel. I am NOT a member and go regularly as a guest. However, I have been told that there is a very good chance that the club will soon lose this property, which is owned by the Mobile County School Board. Stix River Shooting Center, central Baldwin County, just off I-10 at the Wilcox Road exit. Rifle, pistol and shotgun ranges. Now under new ownership / management and I haven't been there since the change. FOP range, Fairhope. Handguns and .22's only. Gold Mine Pawn Shop, Daphne. Small, indoor range. 3 lanes and 25 yards, if I correctly recall. thethreeballs.com/default.htm Not sure how current the following list is, but it may be helpful - home.hiwaay.net/~stargate/seasons/ranges.htm |

SHHHHHHH! You weren't supposed to tell. But seriously, they do have very good pricing on everything, and what they don't have, they will get for you. NOW, does anyone have any info on the supposed long rifle range (1000 yd) that supposedly exists right over the state line in Mississippi (in Pascagoula/Moss Point area)??? I'd like to reach out a little further than 100 yards sometimes... |
You are correct. I am a member of Moss Hill Gun Club. We will be losing our land as soon as the school is completed. The club officers are in the process of trying to find another piece of property to lease or even purchase. I was unable to attend the meeting held in December and the next meeting is in February, so I don't know what the status of any new land is. |

| I shoot sometimes at Talladega national forest, on highway 77 between Talladega and ashland. Small range about like bankhead. Same kinda hill to lug all my stuff down . no problems so far. Also shoot at swann creek when up that way. Always good to carry a side arm when shooting at a public range. bill |

Ft. Rucker, AL has a privately owned weapons range open free to public on hwy 27. The only problem is having to register serial numbers with at the police station on post. Sucks to have to register firearms, but it is the only place around here to shoot that I know of. However, the range is nice, it's free, and they also give out free targets. |

Hey all you N Alabama guys, I have recently moved to the area and I am in desperate need of a solid place to shoot. I know that living in this area there are endless places to pull off the road and blast off a few rounds but Im pretty serious about sending ammo down range. I live in the Athens area so what ever is closest to Athens ...but I dont mind a drive for a good place to shoot. I also need an FFL in this area to do my transfers..I went to the a "LARGE" guns store in the area ....Hell They wanted 50 bucks....50 Bucks ??? Wow...!! shoot me an email |

Here's one in hoover, Alabama: Steel city shooting sports Association. Here is the web site: www.SCSSA.org they recently lowered their yearly fee to $300 dollars. Kind of steep, I know, but you get what you pay for . edited to make link hot. fijfi |
| I live in Madison, and I've been to Swan Creek once a long time ago (don't remember where it is) with a friend, but I usually just drive down to the FOP range in Birmingham because I like the 100yd rifle range with steel. I hate shooting paper targets, I like the instant feedback of hearing the steel ping when I hit it. |
