Yeah, I saw that too. I'm anxious to see what it's like... hopefully a little room to move around. It'll be great to do magdumps without pissing off the bench resters
The last few times I've known I just need to function test or want to move around I just go over to the IDPA range on weekdays. AFAIK they use it for 3gun so I don't think I'm breaking any rules with a rifle over there. |

I've only been to ORSA one time. That was for a high power match when I lived in Murfreesboro. Now that I live in Knoxville, I've never been. Need to remedy that soon.

Looks like they hope to have the new range available by the end of August.

Maybe me, Indiana + you could do some shooting. Then boom - you have a sponsor when you apply! |

There's a new field course being built in Morristown right now, and depending on the quality of ORSA's range, that would make 3 in the region. We were talking just yesterday about having some sort of "tournament circuit" next Spring. That will be enough incentive to check the place out. Maybe get some Big Eds while we're at it! |

Yeah, PM me if you want to get together at ORSA sometime. Of course we might be limited on what ranges are available depending on what is going on with the new range construction, but it shouldn't stop us from checking out the field archery range.

When I shoot 3D, I shoot primitive with my longbow and self-made arrows and have a helluva time. Field has lost popularity because the bowhunters aren't convinced it can help them. Conservative, gun-loving hunter types are a hard-headed bunch.

Is ORSA worth the cost? I live near Oak Ridge but my work schedule is funky and would limit my time there. I'd be going to their 200yd range, handgun and the plinking range.

I think so, but the value of $120 is subjective. The Norris police range is another option depending on where you live. I haven't been in a while, but it used to be around $30 for a yearly key. |

Been a member for years, live off less than a minute from the range.
The action pistol bays have some restrictions. IDPA/IPSC targets only. No center fire rifle except for matches and no clays except for matches.No plinking. No full auto. .22 and pistol caliber rifle is OK. Shotgun is OK too. You also must be a member of the action pistol club, that is just a matter of going to a match that uses the AP range. Though with my work schedule I haven't shot a match in a couple of years, but I follow all of the other AP club rules so no one asks for my sticker. AP club members have a sticker on the back of their range ids, mine is out of date. Let me know if there is a meet up. |

Full disclosure - I've never been on the high power range or the skeet/trap area because since I don't know how it works I'm afraid I'll do something stupid and get in trouble

How does their 1000 yard range work? Do you just set up your own target and have at it? I assume steel is good to go?

No, if I could setup my own targets and shoot steel on that range, then I wouldn't be excited about this new range they are building. The 1000 yard range is a competition range, with target pits. You shoot paper, someone down in the pit pulls down the target, marks your hit, and raises the target back up. Since the 1000 yard range has a road going through it that has to be closed off when the range is in use, it is only open during competitions and designated practice times. |

Hanging your own steel would be plinking range only - and thus pistol calibers only. I'm not sure what the distance of the new range will be. |

There aren't really any ranges around that are very long. My land has a 200m stretch, but that's just too easy for 5.56 and 308. I might actually go to a public range if it had enough room to stretch out anywhere from 500-1000. |
