Very well set up and a great staff. I've had no issues except it's hot as can be in summer. The road coming in could use some attention. After some rains a 4 wheel drive or a tracked vehicle comes to mind. Yeah, I exaggerated a bit but it's a rough road. Needs a little TLC in a few spots.

I went here to sight in one of my rifles and just spend some time putting rounds downrange. I had a great time, as it was one of the best ranges locally. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely be going back.

GA Fishing or Hunting license required to use (no extra charge or time constraint). Very kind and helpful staff. One 50 and 100 yard range with rifle stands and spotter scopes available for use.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Are the range staff really strict when it comes to the rule of having some sort of hunting/fishing license? Do all people visiting need a license? Do you check in first, or do you just setup and shoot?

Any idea when they will re-open? I am wanting to go shoot a new Christmas present.

Christopher Gerhart | Oct 3, 2019
Ashley Mello | Oct 3, 2019

Okay just went on 4/6/2019 and there still closed until probably May 1st, 2019. Small chance of 4/19/2019 but unlikely due to the amount of work left to finish. But the place looks great and is going to be worth the wait, but I'm not going to spoil the surprise for those who haven't seen the renovations! Fingers crossed or off the trigger.

Can you shoot from prone, or just from a bench?

Joe's Journey | Oct 3, 2018

Prone is allowed after informing the Range officer. The prone lane shared space with the shotgun patterning space.

Noel Herradura | Aug 3, 2022
Richmond Hill WMA Shooting Range | Aug 3, 2022

If it is made out of polymer yes. Steel is currently not allowed. This will change in the future. I have seen shooters bring 2in circle sticker targets and practice on those.

Does this range offer zero targets or do i need to bring my own?

Bronston P. | Jan 5, 2022
Mighty Moto | Jan 5, 2022

Donate some cash for the available targets or just ask and they'll give you one but don't abuse it

Is a stand there to attach a paper target? Or what do I bring? Any water or snacks there?

Mike Kenny | Oct 2, 2021

Mike, we provide the cardboard and stands, you provide target, firearm, ammo, eye and ear protection. We do have water on hand but no vending machines. Stop at the Gas station for drinks and snacks.

WMA stamps are no longer a requirement on fishing licenses. What exactly do I need as a requirement to use this shooting range?

Hello Chuck, To be able to access the range all you need is a valid state of GA Hunting or Fishing License. Anyone 16 years or older must possess one in order to access. You will need to bring your Firearm, ammunition, paper targets, as well as ear and eye protection.

Is there any place to shoot that doesn't charge a fee?

Matthew Schultz | Oct 2, 2020

As long as you have a valid GA hunting or fishing license you can shoot here. No extra fee. Its really a good deal.

Is this the only range in the area? I remember years ago a range around here but it was free to shoot and no license or ranger?

Withheld | Oct 2, 2020
Esteban Vializ | Oct 2, 2020

17 South does have matches twice a month. All you have to do is paid $25 at Practice Score website and/or go help them set up the stages for the match and you will be only be paying $15.

How much is it to get in ? (Not talking about the hunting pass)

Matthew Tarr | Oct 3, 2018
Joe's Journey | Oct 3, 2018

Each person that wants to shoot must have either a hunting or fishing license. I paid $18 for an annual fishing license at Walmart and that gets you unlimited access to the range for the year. You cannot access the range without one of the licenses.

Can you do shooting drills for time? Like from the holster to rounds on target or anything like that, with a shot timer? Also i don't have a permit or whatever, do they sell them?

Skeetcoinz | Oct 3, 2018
William RuizRodriguez | Oct 3, 2019

I’ve done drills but Mr Jim (range safety officer) very courteous gentleman, only allows 2 shot rapid fire. Rapid mag changes by dropping the empty and reaching for mag holdster is totally allowed. You can do kneel. No 3 round rápid fire allowed.
