I went coast to coast over the last two weeks and while in Nashville got a chance to hang out in a cool gun range that was made out of a closed movie theatre. Really really neat stuff.

I was asked in a PM for a review, so here it is:
My experience was really pretty good. They have a well stocked showroom and friendly and knowledgeable staff. The pricing is a bit on the high side, but it is a super nice range with excellent ventilation, climate control, and facilities. The RO's while I was there were pretty easy going but attentive. Since it is built inside a modern movie theater the soundproofing, decor, etc. is exceptional for a shooting range. the fact it it literally right off the highway makes it even better.
Note, I did not rent any guns or take any classes etc. but those offerings also appear to be first rate. I did fondle a couple of CZ's while I was there.
As minor criticisms, they have a really very nice waiting area/lounge including some tables out front to sit at, but no real food or drink to enjoy while you do so. With the level of excellence already provided and with thier pricing in mind, a simple coffee/snack bar would be nice and very likely profitable. Maybe add in a TV or two from the ceiling in sports bar fashion with shooting sports videos etc. looped on them.
I mention the above because my son and I would have stayed longer had they had some food or drink on hand.Fear is the spare change that will keep you broke

I'll bet they can't have a restaurant or food service due to lead concerns. If it was an outdoor range, they could probably have an on-site restaurant."Show me a young conservative and I'll show you a man without a heart.

Yet! But now that it's in play on CG, I'm sure some knee-bleeding-limousine person watching the site will run with it.
Regardless, I avoid ranges that charge by the hour. Last time I was out, I spent 6 hours between rifle & pistol. At this place, that would run me $150. Ouch.I meant, it is my opinion that...

Apparently they rent full auto weapons there. Big John, Hickok45's son, has some videos posted on youtube where he takes fellow comedians there for some shooting. The guys he brings there have little to no shooting experience.Member: NRA, FPC, NAGR, 2AF, BHAComment

I like the layout but a 57 yard rifle range that is rated for 50 BMG??? Lol wtf WHYUnless we keep the barbarian virtues, gaining the civilized ones will be of little avail.
