Anyone live near the Redstone Arsenal area of Huntsville AL? My son "might" be heading there as a posting with the USAF so was wondering where he can shoot and maybe find a place to hunt? Anything in the area a 23 year old will enjoy and he is into history like myself big time? Any major collegg es there being he NEEDS to transfer his schooling a swell? He has put in for a nice posting with the Missile aspect, all I can say for security reasons, and has a great chance of getting it being he has been in going on 4 years, taken several schools well before higher ranking USAF personal, and HOPEFULLY ranks up to E-5 (staff Sargent) in a week of so.
I appreciate ANY info and if anyone lives near there, might meet up with you being I might drive down to visit him if he posts there

It boarders the Tennessee River and is very near Lake Guntersville - LARGEMOUTH BASS hot spot.
My hometown of Cullman is only about 35 miles from there.
I think he will enjoy that assignment very much.
If he has a choice, I think he should accept it.
Forgot to say, the UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA has a campus in Huntsville.
Thanks---Peabo
There is an excellent place to shoot west of Huntsville a few miles. It's Swan Creek WMA shooting range. It's a free range and was very nice whwn I was there.
You're son will want to see Larry's pistol Parlor and range right in Huntsville. Larry's has an excellent selection of both old and new firearms.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
It's only a short drive from the Jack Daniels distillery. A great way to spend a Saturday, taking the tour.

Maple Ridge Gun Club 256-737-7592 cell 256-708-9153. Range includes up to 500 yds, $15 per session. Take hwy 278 west 2 miles west of Cullman at exit 308, I-65. Turn left and about 1 mile back into the woods. Went here and they were closed. Haven't been back.
Last time I was there about 1 1/2 years ago, they had tires put on on all rifle lanes. To shoot thru them. It used to be really nice, with the golf cart included. Will not go back [:(] If you call ahead they will open it up, could not shoot 50BMG either[xx(]
