10 Shooting Ranges in Georgia That You Shouldn't Miss
While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

My wife and I decided to get a private 2 on 1 shooting lesson. This is a ln amazing facility. It is not the largest we have been to, but the view can not be beat as you are shooting out into the marsh. The lesson was fantastic. Great intro lesson that walked through the basics and instructor could not have been better. If you are looking for a fun and different activity while on the island I would definitely add this to your list.

It's hard for me to be intimidated walking into a gun store and range -- I've been at this a while. But for those just now discovering "the shooting community" it can be VERY intimidating. Not so here. There is no nicer Manager I've ever met, than Kenny Le. If this is your first or second time & a bit nervous, you tell Kenny I sent you. He'll help you just like he did me, when I had a technical problem. The FIRST time I met him, he had time for me ... In this rarefied atmosphere of July 2020, I know stores preparing to shut down because they can't get enough inventory: In case you don't know, gun sales are up, breaking all records -- up over "same month previous year" 15 months in a row. (Actually up about 400% since 2008). You pick your reason for this, the fact remains that the shelves are bare many places as producers struggle to keep up. Not so much here. It's really what has engendered the goodwill of this review. The Inventory Manager must kick butt to keep it coming. Let's just say it: Competence counts. I also give them credit for one of the best on-site selections of safes I have seen. Another rarity in this industry. It's become my indoor range -- if your trying to get away for a little target practice, this place couldn't be any more convenient. Just north of "Spaghetti Junction", right off of I-85 at Pleasantdale Road. Look it up.

I took my two boys shooting at meadow. They had a tournament going on. I told Becky these boys were beginners and she was very accommodating. She recommend the easiest set of targets for them to shoot. She personally took us up to the target range and showed us how to opperate the equipment. The boys had a great time and before we left the property asked me when could they come back and shoot again. I can't say enough good things about Becky and Meadows. I can't wait until I can my son's back to shoot again. Who knows they may let thier dad shoot next time.
