Chestnut Mountain WMA Shooting Range - Dalton, Georgia

$5 for a day or $25 for a year. No better place to shoot for that price point. Get your pass before you arrive - cell service is spotty.

I'm a beginner, and my brother is a pro. We loved this range. We both got exactly what we needed. It stays busy rain or shine.

1. There is little to no cell phone signal. That may be an issue of there were to be an emergency, so keep that in mind.
2. I did not see a range officer when I visited, but most people at the range communicated well and I was able to have a good time and shoot safely. Make sure you understand the rules and communicate with your fellow shooters. Judging by the holes in the roof, it's fair to say that there may be some inexperienced individuals stopping by as well.
3. There is a gravel road to get to the range, make sure you have a car or truck that can make the drive.
4. You have to pay through the app. If you go online they will show you how to purchase time at the range.

Overall, I had a good time and everyone stayed safe. I'll be visiting again.

This is a good outdoor range. 4 stars based on frustration with paying the daily fee. Previously had a box to put cash in is no longer an option. Now must pay online but with Verizon I had no service to pay. Messed around with this for 20 minutes or so then shot for a few. Overall the range is a standard outdoor range with no supervision so you have to be in tune with everyone else to hang/review targets but for $5 a day to shoot it’s a great deal. Overall I will go back but just pay before I arrive. Update: download the recreation.gov app and you can pay before you get there and it’s a piece of cake. I did this on my next visit and it was perfect! Now 5 stars!

I can’t believe there is no option to pay cash on site. You have to pay via mobile app and the area has practically no service… so you have to drive to where you have service and then navigate some confusing app that doesn’t even work. Also they make you register PER SHOOTER and not per vehicle, which means everyone with you has to do the same thing. Also it’s “paper targets only” so you can’t use the fun spinning metal targets you already bought. Do better.

I've frequented this range for years when I get a chance to drive this way. For $5 per shooter or $25 for a year it's a good value for a range.

Pros- inexpensive; goes to 100 yds but still have sets for 50, 25 and 10 yards ; 50 and 100 yds have rifle benches ;patrons who usually here are nice and safe ; no RSO so can be good if you want to double tap or rapid fire or practice other drills not allowed at other ranges ; easy to get to this location

Cons- no RSO means the range has to be self policing when calling the range cold to set up targets or remove targets down range which is not ideal for less experienced shooters; some patrons that come here do not always practice proper safety (again no RSO at this public range); It can get muddy during rain when setting targets in the back where 100 yards is ; little to No cell service

Overall this a great range to shoot at for a very low price and doesn't break the bank. If you can make it out during the week or earlier in the morning it's fun. Saturday can be fun, but crowded since there is no RSO just make sure to be extra careful.

Beautiful place to visit and a great place to shoot. It's a bit of a drive for me but well worth it. My daughter, son in law and myself went and loved it. I plan to take my son next time.

Great place to pop some rounds. Kinda small, 100 yard max, nice facility. I use this one and Sumac Creek WMA range. Great locations.
