Only on a vacation day would I go, but not regularly unless it was very close

Serious question about outdoor range!

Reads like OP is considering building a range to share with all his ODT bud's
One can hope, but good luck! The zoning issues are a HUGE problem and hurtle for anyone trying to do this.
Well, CMP is less than 2 hours I think-- going Friday for my first time, weather permitting. Otherwise, 1 hour 15 to my hunting club, where I can shoot 100 yards off a nice bench, sometimes more, unimpeded by anyone-- but only for six months out of the year.
Or an hour 45, roughly, to Gunsite Hills for long range shooting at steel. That's what there's the dearth of... It's either Chief's in Lexington, or CMP in Anniston. Or you have to know someone with property. Otherwise-- nothing past 200 I think that's open to the public within two hours.
Chief has steel out to 700 or so, and you can hang targets. CMP, well, no hanging targets, but no steel and no long walks to retrieve paper or paint steel.
Clubs: South River, Cherokee, Riverbend. Only Riverbend has over 200 I think.
Build a 1000 yard range within 2 hours, have a non-cantankerous operator, and you will get customers. (I get along with Chief just fine, but some do not.)

South River goes out to 300 yrds.
I'm happy I live on the south side of Atlanta, I'm 30 minutes from Charlie Elliot and I'm like 10 minutes from South River Gun Club.
Seems like nothing but indoor ranges on the north end until you get up towards Dawsonville

Like if you're a cc holder and carrying, you have to unload and box your firearm before you step foot on the property and then you may reload it once your on the firing line.

Yes Riverbend goes to 600.
You're going to love CMP.
Yep, CC or not that's a rule. Guns loaded only on ranges...
Trust me, I'm all about safety....check, check, check, and then re-check....always! However, I just feel that if I can cc everywhere else, I should be allowed to do so on a gun range....
