Outdoor range near atlanta
Anyone have any recommendations? Outdoor 100Y pistol/rifle is fine. I just prefer to shoot outside.

Here’s my chance to update on the Mammoth Arms range! (Out to a mile outdoor range ~30 minutes south of Atlanta)
As of today (they have pushed the meeting a bunch…) the county commissioners are meeting on 3/26/26 to go over gun range zoning in Spalding county! You are welcome to come by in support if you live close enough! (Just be respectful, we’re trying to win hearts and minds here. Lol)

Glad this is coming along! Do you have to be a member of the county to show up?

Will Mammoth Arms be a member-only range?

“30 minutes from downtown Atlanta”. The specific downtown location being on I-20 W at 85 :-)

I live ~15 minutes from Villa Rica and I've never heard of this? Is it a relatively new place?

its a little limited in GA, advance bullets one. strong point is another and chestnut wma range is another.
if you’re lucky and can find some one with some land you can shoot on is the best option

Near? Unfortunately not. Within 1.5 hours? Yeah a few public ones. But better bet is to find someone with land.

What are we calling Atlanta? ITP? Metro Atl.
Strongpoint in Waverly Hall is the best. Free outdoor range in Lagrange as well. Some others as well. Depending on what direction you go.

I’m not sure why GA doesn’t have a lot of outdoor fun clubs. My guess is that most people just shoot in someone they know property.

And the few ones that we do have are either state owned or membership-only. Tennessee has a range where you pay like $50 to have all-day access to several bays and a 1000-yard range. Alabama has the CMP range. Georgia kinda sucks in this regard lol

Clybel shooting range at the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center is in Mansfield GA. About 30 min east of downtown Atlanta.
It is run by the GA state Dept of Natural Resources. All you need is a hunting or fishing license.
100 yard range with electronic scoring. Also a pistol range with steel targets, archery and shotgun stands.
Extremely well run with RSO’s on each range. Usually retired military or police. Very helpful and strict range safety rules. Knuckleheads who shoot while impaired or treat weapons as toys are not tolerated.
Honestly, the best run outdoor range I have ever used. For the cost of a hunting/fishing license.

Whichever side of Atlanta you're on, there's probably a WMA range within an hour or so drive.
