New to Alpharetta

Hey to all of the new people that have dropped a line since I last replied on this thread!

Went to Wilson Shoals on Wednesday morning and loved it! Was greeted by Dan who gave me a quick rundown of the range rules, then had Terry as our range master on the rifle side. Both are awesome guys! Talked quite a bit with Terry throughout the time I was there. He was not only helpful with assisting me to get my standup target aligned with my bench and checking in whenever I might need to swap targets, but he also gave me some great input on local hunting and the idea of looking for a hunting club to join. Running with that idea, does anyone know of a club in northern Georgia that is looking for a new member or anyone out there that has been thinking of leasing some land and starting a club?

Thanks again, all, for the warm welcomes and advice on ranges to sight-in at!

-Chris

Hey All,

Been here about two months, but just getting to introducing myself after taking some time to get acclimated to the area, planning a wedding, and finding a job. Anyways, just moved here from the Los Angeles area. Before you make any knee jerk judgement, I'm not a bleeding heart liberal that's about to turn this place into anything like that state. I was raised in MA until I was 20 and spent the last 20 years just having fun and building a career out there. Now that I'm finally back into an area of normalcy, I'm finally getting back into enjoying many hobbies I had back in MA. Most of which has been fishing so far, but now that hunting season is upon us I'm getting back into that as well.

First off, I need to get out an sight in my 30-06 for the upcoming dear season. Does anyone have a recommendation on a range out here that extends past 100 yards? 100 yards will be plenty for zeroing in for hunting, but I did get into long range precision shooting in the CA desert and haven't been able to find anything that extends past 200 yards to really stretch out with my 308. But, also very happy to hear about recommendation for 100-200 yard ranges in the near area to get the hunting rifle dialed in.

Also, interested in advice and even meeting up with fellow hunters nearby for a beer to chat about where are good areas to hunt. I don't mean to encroach on anyone's favorite hunting grounds, but would love any advice that people are willing to share.

So far I've had a few interactions on this forum and all have been great. Not seeing as much down talking as I was seeing on forums out west, which is very pleasant to see. Was thinking of waiting until the gun show & swap meet to meet people, but that will be a bit late into the hunting season. I will be there though, so I look forward to meeting some of you there.

Anyways... Hello! Hit me up with any range or hunting recommendations or just to say hello back.

Thanks!

-Chris
