Vick Shooting Range

Great range although very little upkeep..range was flooded.

Despite the long drive, it's a nice and cheap range to go to, but the place definitely could do with some upkeep/cleaning. Shotgun shells are everywhere, along with pigeon clays, boxes, bottles and paper targets. The incline is treacherous, and the gravel is starting to erode due to heavy rain, the wooden steps are a bit rotted too. They don't do the envelope thing anymore (from what I've seen), you pay by scanning the QR code on the billboard, download the recreation.gov app in order to make the payment. The dirt road leading to the gun range, does have some potholes, so drive carefully especially if you have a car. overall, It's a great place to go and let off some steam, plus you can use whatever ammo you want, compared to the indoor range where you're rather limited.

Great range, little out of the way but worth it

Me and some friends will be cleaning this place soon so please do your part to help keep it cleaned

Like the South Sandy range near Duncanville, lots of trash left on the range by "sportsmen" using the range. Regulations say no skeet shooting, so naturally there are spent shotgun shells and broken clays all over the ground. Paper only range, so several plastic buckets and drink bottles scattered around. And like South Sandy, the poor road condition makes those last couple of miles an adventure.

This is an off the beaten path shooting range located deep in the Talladega National Forest. The drive out to the range is down a long and winding dirt road. Make sure you bring what you need with you out there. A nice pit stop to the range is at Walmart in Centreville to get targets, hearing protection, ammunition etc. You may also want to use a restroom before leaving civilization since your only option will be a pit toilet at the range. Another tip is to pack all you need to carry in one trip. The walk from the parking lot to the actual range is down a steep trail covered in pine straw that you will only want to trek twice, once down and once up. There is a covered shooting area which is nice and shady. A small fee, $3.00 as of 4-29/18, is required per vehicle for you to access the range.

small but quiet and cheap. usually meet some characters there but all seem like good people.

Great place to shoot. The range is compact sand so it's nice even when it's wet. The shooting pavilion is nice and sturdy with several benches (for left and right-hand shooters). It seems to be well maintained other than the excessive brass laying around. ***You must bring your own target stands.

Great place, the only times I've been nobody else has been there. ***Be aware that you have to bring your own target stand.

This is a good place to shoot, but the steps to get to the range are downright treacherous. They are steep, uneven and covered in dead pine needles making them slippery. The road to the range is long and bumpy with a few places that have huge potholes and mud. I would not take your city car down this road, especially after a rain. Payment is the honor system. There are envelopes there for you to use and you then have a stub to place on your dash showing you paid. It is only $3 if I recall correctly. That is much cheaper than the fine you'll get if a ranger drives up and you didn't pay. I have the Access Pass so I get to use the facility at no charge, but I still have to fill out an envelope.
