I rented out the pistol/carbine range Friday for a class/event with over 30 shooters.  Paul Granda, the range manager, was very easy to work with, he even loaned us the use of several more canopies to provide more shade behind the firing line.  The range is fairly new and he's still building up the facilities he would like, but everybody from my group that I talked to liked the facilities and plans to return next year.  We also rented the classroom portable (with air conditioning) for the duration of our event for a very reasonable rate.  My first experience with this facility was taking a class from cmshoot there.

For people west of Chattanooga, he does offer annual memberships to use the range.

Just visited the range in preparation for another 30-50 person shooting trip, they now have a dedicated rifle range out to 400 yards, a bay for steel targets (can't be used at the same time as the rifle range), and the entrance road can be closed off to provide a 1000yd range.

Very good facility!  I'm up there quite often.

Do they have a shoot house or plan to have a shoot house?

I was talking to an instructor who would like to do a shoot house class for civilians but can't find a house that isn't strongly affiliated with another instructor.

No shoot house currently, not sure on whether they have the resources available to build one anytime soon.  They've made consistent improvements in the three years I've been hosting events there (and took cmshoot's class there prior to that), but they still have room for more.  The berm between the rifle and pistol ranges is better than it was last year, but could still use improvement (they added a steel target bay adjacent to the pistol/carbine range, but using it requires shutting down the rifle range, and to shoot offhand, shooters must be on the front face of the firing line berm or they'll be too high for safety with the berm between the ranges).
