Just looking to find out if there is one to shoot a few rounds?

Cheers.

You have to be a member, or guest of a member to shoot at Starkville. It's a good range though! I believe the dues are $100 per year.

No others? I had thought there would have been more than that.

You can go to Mitch's Gun Shop in Hamilton. It is about 15 minutes from Columbus. Not sure what he charges.

The Starkville range is on the east side of town, so it's relatively convenient to Columbus. It's a good facility, and is rarely crowded.

You can ride up to Tupelo and go shoot with us, we just go to sandpits and what not.

The Starkville Gun Club is a nice club. There is a 5-stand charity shoot this coming weekend starting saturday. I understand it's open to the public. To get to the range from columbus, take hwy 50 to westpoint, go south out of westpoint on hwy 45 south for about 3 miles to Tibee and take a right at the top of the hill, go for about 5 miles to the stop sign and turn right, go past the elementary school and up the next hill past the water tower, as you go over this hill about 100 yds on the left is a small gravel road that leads to the ranges.

Would be best to take 82 from Columbus, then go North on 45 toward West Point. Then take the left at Graham Roofing. The road the gun club is on is Sixteenth Section Rd.

Yes, that probably would be the shortest way. I spent all morning at the range mowing and cleaning up both pistol ranges.
