This is the first I have heard of it. Is it a regular shooting spot? Does shooting attract unwanted attention? I am always up for checking out a new shooting location. |

Yea its somewhat popular, the local LEO comes by every once in a while to check on folks, but they don't mind.

confirmed. I'll be out there with a few of my friends about 7 or 8 AM Saturday. Anyone is welcome. IM if you're interested. I'm not going to plaster the location on the site.
I just finished putting my target frames back together from the last time we blew them to bits. 
We will be doing some basic drills with rifles and pistols. Nothing over probably 50 yards. I will have two guys with me that haven't spent as much time doing drills as some, but they are good guys anyway. Gotta start somewhere. |

Hey folks,
I'm headed back out there with some friends of mine for more drills this weekend. I think we are going to both rifle and pistol again. We are thinking about headed out there Sunday around 4 or 430. Anyone is welcome to join, just bring plenty of ammo and contribute some paper/cardboard to shoot at.  |

I hear ya, gotta play ball
I am sneaky about my shooting habits as in I like to go when krazies are not at the free ranges so I was gonna ask about this place in the early mornings mon-thurs......besides the occasional visit from the leo which is not a problem, is there a best time to go so that you have some quiet time for methodical precision work to prepare for future precision zombie engagements....I hear they are coming very soon and my beloved wma is in the damn can for 9 more days

I am stoked about heading out there as I love to shoot at any new place as I never really get to that much.....Alabama should have hundreds of State owned land not being used, etc. that should be open to having a firing range. It will depress on if you think just how little access Alabamians have to their State land and I am about to go off on a soap box tirade...so I will take a time out and hopefully when I return and can post and AAR from out there

Our redneck bretheren have trashed the place. I propose that someday when it cools off, we take my truck out there and clean the place up. I won't be able to make it, my day job has me at a desk on Monday mornings at 730am |
