Outdoor Shooting Range within 2 hours of Atlanta?

[gkatl]

Can anyone give me some names of outdoor ranges to "google"? Everything close to me is indoor. I don't mind shooting indoors, but I have a couple of rifles I would like to shoot 100 or 200 yards.

So far I have heard about a couple of what sound like good options - Advanced Bullets in Temple apparently has a 100-yd range and the DeKalb Police Outdoor Range apparently has 100-yd and 200-yd ranges.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

Wow thanks for all the quick replies! I just looked up Creekside and Adairsville and they are both only about an hour from my house. This is good news!

I actually read a post on a thread from about a month ago regarding safety concerns with Advanced Bullets? Apparently they don't have a range master and sometimes it can get a bit shady.

Jim Hackley range at the West Point WMA. Unattended, 10 position 100 yard range. I shoot there a lot, only 4-5 minutes from home. Ive never seen more than 4, maybe 5 people there at a time and usually very nice folks. It's about 60 miles south west of Atlanta down 85.

Sweet! That sounds like another good option! Only about 1hr 20 from me! Always like FREE.

I would prefer a range where I don't have to bring my own target stands. I have plenty of paper targets, just not a stand. Perhaps I will have to do so with any outdoor range? Not sure - I'll look into it a bit more once I get off work! Don't tell the boss I'm on here!
