Any decent ranges/clubs up near Buford? I'd like to shoot at something over 300 yards every once in a while without having to drive several hours to do it. I'm not a huge fan of indoor, but hit Bullseye every once in a while. I've been to South River several times, but really farther than I want to drive all the time.

I know there is Cherokee Gun Club up this way in Gainesville, but I don't know anyone there and their website doesn't really tell me much about their ranges.

What do you guys think?

Nothing in Buford... Cherokee is private with a two year waiting list...

Sounds like I need to just join and drive to South River and talk to Chief for the longer range stuff then.

They offer out to 500 yards. Check their website for schedule under the long range tab. They are open this Saturday for long range.

This one looks interesting. Looks like they have a 600 yard range on their range map. I might have to find out what kind of a waiting list they have.

I dont know about their waiting list, but I do believe first year dues are aproximately 900 bucks.  300 a yr for membership and 600 to keep the undesireds out, ofter the first year its just 300 a yr.  You cannot shoot on the move (unless you are shooting a match that requires it) and they are not suppressor or full auto friendly.

There is no waiting list, just a background check and recommendation from 2 members.  The rest of Adams post is accurate.  There will ikely be some rules changes as the action shooting area becomes available.

Is it like some other clubs where a Georgia Firearms License will suffice for a background check?

Not shooting on the move might be an issue though.

www.gunsitehills.com  700 yds, by appointment.

That's at least on the same side of Atlanta as Buford, but still a drive.
