CMP Range
« on: November 14, 2015, 07:46:40 PM »
Wow.  Oh Wow.  Talk about a country club.  No more like a resort.  All built by CMP with CMP money.  I heard $23million worth. 

Miss Kitty's first comment as we driving to the range, "Where's the dirt road."   It's paved all the way.  It's a paved parking lot.  Looks like a resort hotel lobby.  And don't look for it on Google aerial photos, it's that new.

 http://thecmp.org/competitions/talladega-marksmanship-park/

You can find them on Facebook.   Besides the all electronic rifle ranges.  High Power rifle ranges.  There are standard Bullseye range and 15 Action pistol ranges.  Each about 50' wide and 150' deep.    Just wow.

Here's some pictures, including the gun store.





Central Lobby.  Entrance to the left.  Check-in desk behind me.  Veranda to the right.


Training room.  One of three I think.


Left half the veranda.  Repeat for the right half.


Miss Kitty watching the GA-Auburn Game.  Other training rooms down the hall. 


Veranda overlooks the HP shooting range.


And, of course, we need a gun shop.


Entering the AP bays.


Here's one of the 15 AP bays.   Gravel road where I'm standing for vehicular traffic and foot path down by the cover (each with picnic tables) for pedestrians.


Looking from bay 4 towards the other 11 bays and the main entrance to the area.


Leaving.  The entry DRIVEWAY as well as each range area is gated.   Non match days you check in with the front desk (la-de-da) to get the day's codes.

Looks like a lot of available property across the street.

Maybe just the place for a Firearms oriented community to take roots.

Yeah, there is always the noise of folks shooting and that will drive ya crazy if you can't get away to go over there too.

Maybe closed circuit TV of the active ranges will  ease the pain....or make it worse...

Put the eating and drinking establishments within the community and not burden the range managers with Board of Health and licensing headaches.

I saw a story on this on one of the OC Wednesday night shows..... they said in the story that the CMP is possibly planning to build another one like it in the mid-west somewhere.

Maybe, just maybe, they'd like to host next year's ICORE nationals.

"Shooting Resorts"......... good idea...... they could have package family deals, even for beginners...let the whole family learn the sport together.
