DNR Website Helps You Locate Public Shooting Ranges
Submitted Jul. 26, 2010, by Bill Rooney
Looking for a place to shoot? Now that it's summer and, according to the old song, the livin' is easy, you may want to get lined up for hunting seasons, or teach a family member about rifles and handguns and how to use them safely and wisely. Georgians have a wealth of firearms ranges, and unearthing the details about them is as easy as signing on to a special website of the Department of Natural Resources.
All the ranges listed on this site are situated on Wildlife Management Areas (WMA). The details are broken down by state regions: Northwest, Northeast, East Central, West Central, Southwest, Southeast and Coastal.
Information for each range includes its name, the WMA in which it's located, county, facilities, hours, driving directions and a "more info" category containing such details as parking info, firearms restrictions, special closings and the like.
The range rules for all the facilities are also listed online.
