tsellati Posted August 16, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2015 I am moving from Saranac Lake, NY to the Birmingham, AL area for my work. I am wondering whether any board members live in and around Birmingham and can offer suggestions on what club I can join to do outdoor high powered rifle shooting out beyond 100 yards (if available). I also shoot pistol, not competition, and prefer to do so on tactical pistol ranges, or at least at relatively close distances ranging from 1 out to 7 - 15 yards. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpw_42 Posted August 16, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2015 Tim, Boy, are you in for some culture shock! But, you'll quickly find more in common (past surface differences) than the stereotypes would have one believe. I'm not from Birmingham, but the BEST facility you'll find is the new CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park, about 2ish hours east of BHM, off I20. http://thecmp.org/competitions/talladega-marksmanship-park/ That's a phenomenal facility, and should be able to put you in touch with a more local group(s). Best of luck, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsellati Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted August 18, 2015 Boy are you in for a culture shock.... Ronnie It certainly will be an interesting transition, however, having spent so much of my life in the NE it is a change I am really looking forward to.

tsellati Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted August 26, 2015 I wish you the best of luck. Ronnie Thanks. I think I found a really decent place called F.O.P. Range not far from the house we will be buying. It's about 30 minutes from home. Not the 6 minutes from home of my current range, but it looks like it is much more nicely equipped.
