Web Link for Mississippi Gun Ranges

I am thinking he meant WMA which Turcotte is a MS Game and Fish Managed wildlife area. Public use requires a yearly permit for you to hunt and I guess Turcotte has a area to shoot as well.

If you have a Lifetime Hunting Liscense you do not have to pay a fee to use WMA's.

Does anybody have any current information on ranges within a reasonable drive of Jackson that are not Turcotte? I don't feel like paying the new range fee and driving all the way up there to shoot in a huge crowd and wait in line when I could pay a range fee elsewhere and have better accommodations. I can't seem to find anywhere else around though.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks for the tip bill check them out. Got a new rifle that I'm itching to shoot.

Be advised its a lengthy process you have to go to a range safety class before you join. They have a 300 yard range though.

Ran across a place in south Jones county today.  Tall Creek Shooting Sports.  It has a pistol range, a rifle range and sporting clays.  Didn't get a chance to take a close look.  I did meet the owner, Tommy Easterling.  A nice fellow.  I think he told me it was $10 a day per shooter (but don't hold me to that).  He provides a couple of different types of targets and mentioned that he had metal targets on the pistol range.  139 Long Branch Loop, Ellisville, MS  39437.  601-520-8831.  That's Tommy's cell.  Give him a call and he'll meet you there.  He must live close by because I pulled up to the place to read the sign and he was there within minutes (and I hadn't even called).

This is not an endorsement, just posting because I remembered folks in the Petal area asking about local ranges.   :sunny:
