Nice Gun Shop/Shooting Range in McDonough, GA

I stopped in at a Gun Shop/Shooting Range today in McDonough, GA called American Heritage. I had read some bad reviews on the place the past couple years so I had stayed away. I recently read that they had new management so I decided to stop in today and see what they have.

The people were very nice and one of the employees took me on a tour of the range.

The place looked really great. They have 20 lanes and the place is air conditioned and also has HEPA filters. It was real comfortable in the range. It's really well lit and the place looks new.

So I plan on going back when I fully recover to do some shooting. $20 bucks for a full day seems fair to me.

    20 bucks seems kinda steep to me.

    New club going up near me will have INDOOR 5 Stand, trap and Skeet. Multiple 100 yard indoor rifle lanes plus a bunch of other stuff including outdoor archery. If you are not already a Gold Member sign up.... cause we will be having some Members Only Events there and maybe I can swing it down at Cherokee Rose down by you.... [:D]

    100 yard indoor rifle range...WOW that sounds great. Did they use an old Walmart store etc. or did they build the building especially for a shooting range?

    I've heard of the Cherokee Rose Gun Club. Have you shot there before? Is it a nice place?

    3 weeks ago it was a nice stand of timber. They look like they will be pouring the foundations in the next week or so. They have told me this will be the only facility like it in the US. It will be the size of a large WalMart when complete.

    Cherokee Rose is a very nice facility. They hosted the Children's Speedway Charity shoot that we have participated in since 2008 or so. Sadly, General Tom Sadler that ran the charity passed last year and so far no one has picked up the ball. It was an honor to have met him and spent time with him.

    Why do some shooters insist on leaning backwards?

    Weaker people lean backwards in order to counterbalance the weight of their arms and gun that that they have pointed at the target.

    You were talking about this place a year ago. I think they have only two others like it in the world???? I remember watching a video on the other ranges. I think in Germany or somewhere in Europe???? I was wondering if they ever got it built. I remember watching them shoot clays in an indoor setting. Oakie

    It turns out that location they were going to build (which has been cleared for 10 yrs or so, the original developer went bankrupt and the Club could not get clear title. So they picked a new location even CLOSER to the office (less than half a mile up the street) and had some setbacks with the that developer as well. They FINALLY are under construction and guess what? WE are moving on Thursday about 10 miles south. It will still be close enough to my house to make it worthwhile.

    I've never shot in an indoor range, it must be nice [:(], do you think I'd miss wiping sweat from my eyes ? [:)]

    Last time I was down that way it looked like they were out of business.

    It's a shame when you drive though these small towns all over the USA at the number of factories that are sitting there deserted. We drove the back roads across America 2 times since 2013 and it's really sad at how many are just sitting there weathering away.
