It looks like I'm going to be moving to Winder in the next month or so.  What do I need to know?

Any decent local gun shops?  FFL's that I need to make friends with?

Local shooting ranges?  Any place decent, or should I plan of driving back to the Athens Rifle Club?

Good places to eat?

Winder is the cultural center of Georgia.


Drop me a line when you move there, I live in Dacula, the next town forward in time.

There is Dixie Ammo in Hoschton.

PSI is not far away.

Barrow County Sheriff's Department opens there range to Barrow residents the first Saturday of each month.

The nearest 100 yard WMA is Charlie Elliot.

Wilson Shoals is closer, but is only about 80 yards.  I read somewhere that they were talking about lengthening it, but I don't know how much there is to that.

It's over by the Home Depot, down some road.  I can't remember the exact directions as it has been a while since I have been there.  I am in Waycross now.

Mark (Bookhound) knows how to get there.

I dated a girl from there for a while. She was cool but we didn't see eye to eye when it came to doing drugs.

It seemed like a really nice place to live the times I visited (really short drive to Athens). Hope you enjoy it.

There is a  650 yard range just on the other side of athens called guns site hills.

Gun site hills

This is my favorite range to visit when I can find time.

Nothing in Winder, go away. I live there and its a crap hole, nothing to do, no gun shops, no places to buy reloading components...the only thing good in Winder is my gun safe and my family.
