How about both. Cookout in the parking lot of Chestnut Mountain Shooting Range ($5 day use per vehicle).
Parking lot is large and 100yrds from range. Chestnut Mountain Shooting Range
Considering current availability of ammo, I vote for cookout. I love to shoot, but most ranges would be more crowded than I would care to deal with if more than 30 or 40 people are wanting to shoot.
