They used to have a heck of a Cowboy shoot in Gainesville. Be careful though; it's still against the law to eat fried chicken with a fork.

That's a beautiful area....

It is Beautiful.. Been spending my vacation there for the last 17 years
gets harder to come home every time...

I went to college in Lookout Mountain, and I enjoyed the area and the culture very much. The summers can be miserable, but that probably goes for 1/2 of the U.S., and in the other 1/2 the winters can be miserable. That area has the best camping and backpacking I've ever seen.

There is a Forest Service range waaay up on a ridge that pretty much takes a 4x4 to get to. It's up on the right between Clayton and Dillard. I've got a long bed F250 4x2 that I'm hesitant to take up there because there is no way to turn around in most places if the "road" becomes blocked. I used to go up there with my full size Bronco, and one time it took about 8 tries with a ground guide to get that short vehicle turned around midway up the hill. Other than that, I know of no place up in that area.

One used to be able to go to the cowboy (SASS) shoots as a walk-on up at Cherokee Gun Club north of Gainesville without being a member or having to go as the guest of another member, but I don't know if that's still true. You could probably Google the SASS website to see if they have a link to the state affilliates with a name and phone number to ask.

Now that I think of it, one of the other members here who has reported often about shooting his Ruger Gunsite rifle wrote about shooting a combat rifle course at that club, too, so you might want to locate him and his threads and PM him about shooting at that club.

Hope this helps, GF.
