Read the lowest reviews for the gun range before you come here. The boomer who owns this place hasn't kept up with the times and if you are just semi competent with your weapons this place isn't even worth zeroing your optics at. The owner/RSO is just an absolute pain and will harass you. He doesn't have the experience, training, or personable skills to be doing this. Go into nashville and support a business worth it.
Amazing gem of a place, unpretentious and authentic. The archery range was a pleasant surprise. The owners, Nancy and Charles were very helpful, made for an unforgettable experience, rather then just a shooting practice. Thank you!
Great people very knowledgeable and helpful.
Signing up was more than affordable. Paperwork was quick. Got a couple free paper targets. The guy there aided with zeroing my new rifle, as well as helping me get back into shooting as a whole (it’s been about six years since my last range visit, so Im quite rusty). Appreciated greatly. Especially as someone who, despite having decent knowledge and experience with firearms, has only recently become a first-time owner of one. A word of warning though: don’t expect to have good cell service, if any at all. I was stuck with zero bars for a while.
Pretty cool place! The owner was onsite and was awesome to talk with. Very nice and helpful about the place and the surrounding area.
Nice, old school range with pistol, rifle (50yd max) and clays options. Show respect and you will be respected and have a great range day. Always had helpful staff or people on the line to help out. Plus as mentioned by others it is cheap to join or buy a day pass.
Worst range experience I've ever had. With overly rude staff, and the facilities were in desperate need for repairs.
Very friendly, just try to follow the very simple rules and you will have a great time. This is my go to range in the Cookeville area!
A mom and pops owned range, not really big but it works, plus they have different ranges for different sports, sky shooting, crossbows and the likes. Owners are very friendly and overall sweethearts.
Well maintained, well run, and in a really nice setting. The staff was great. A go to for anyone who appreciates an outdoor range environment.
