New to Birmingham area, range recommendations?

[xCaptainC]

Indoor or outdoor is fine. Trying to find some place that’s affordable!

 

[RandallC]

Hoover tactical is indoor good range I find their stuff to be over priced.

I go to sentinel firearms it’s in tarrant which is not the best area but they are good people and for 18.50 you can shoot a lot.

Fop range is an outdoor range in pleasant grove, they have rifle and pistol ranges.

Here is a good chance to see fop.

Check out FOP

FOP RANGE INC HOME PAGE

Home page for FOP Range Inc shooting range. Open 7 days a week. Awesome steel plate ranges. Low prices. Memberships available.

www.foprange.com

Friendly people, steel targets are fun, and very affordable if you shoot a lot

FOP pleasant grove, $20 FFL transfers, outdoor range pistol ~10 yds, rifle ~100 yds public + membership options with multiple other private ranges

Hoover tactical, $35 transfer fee, indoor range. 25 yd pistol 75 yd rifle. No steel core ammo, and its an old grocery store so you don't get the normal 100 yd range for rifle.

Talladega Marksmanship park affiliated with the CMP- i.e. you can buy m1 Garands on site usually, 600 yd rifle range

Cahaba river WMA shooting range. I've never been here personally but I hear good things from friends.

Cahaba WMA range is outstanding and you only have to have a wildlife management area permit or a hunting license to go. The range guys are good to talk to and make sure it stays safe unlike the old days of the wild west out there.

Here’s another plug for FOP range in pleasant Grove. 205 744-2600. Good range, good people, very affordable.

I like, too, that BGTC allows non-members to shoot matches and attend clinics.

Haha oh I went there a time or three during the Wild West period. Yikes LOL!

I'd like to add a recommendation for Sentinel. It's a good place for handguns, but bring your own earpro.

Yeah I went one day and was the only one there for a long time that morning and then some doped out wannabe meth head showed up and while I was downrange changing out targets they opened up on the target right beside me. After I carefully made my way back to my hunting rifles I was shooting I never went back out there until it was completely reworked to what it is today.

 

[4CERTN]

@coachwill wow that is nuts!!

I’ve heard that the place has made a total turn-around in recent years.

Of the two I shoot at, I think FOP is the best bang for the buck, especially for handgun shooters. LOVE their rimfire and steel plate ranges. Brock's Gap is more expensive and you need a member to recommend you, but it's great if you like to shoot distance.

Someone told me recently they were waiving the referral requirement for new member applications. Can anyone confirm? I’d like to join this place

+1 for CMP, depending on what part of Bham you're in it may be a bit farther, but the rifle ranges are excellent.

I recommend FOP in Pleasant Grove. If you prefer indoor, there is one is Cullman that is really nice.
