Not sure how old this map is but it is not up to date. The Pass Chrsitian range is not open to the public anymore and is not really even open at all. It does not list the Coast Rifle and Pistol Club at Wool Market either.
Here's one for the jackson area people. It's called Turcotte, it's off Hwy 43 in Madison county, accessible by taking the Natchez Trace parkway up to the 43 exit. All you need to shoot at Turcotte is an MWA permit, you know.... that $16.00 piece of orange paper that you can buy at almost any sporting goods store.
The club is affiliated with the National Rifle Association, the Civilian Marksmanship Program and the Mississippi State Firearms Owners Association.
The range is open every day from 8:00 AM until Dusk. This is a private club, so you must be a member or guest of a member to use the range. The yearly membership fee is $100. Participation in a club-recognized work day will reduce membership renewal to $70. Membership sign-up and orientation are done at the range on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month from 10 AM until 2 PM.
This discussion has sparked an interest, and I've actually started on a little pet project and created a public Google Map with many of the ranges that have been listed in this thread. Please feel free to PM me with your email address if you'd like to help contribute and keep this project up-to-date. I've only lived here for 2 years so I don't have everything listed. :thumbup:
Is there anyplace in the Desoto county area that is NFA friendly? The Desoto gun club does not allow FA, not sure if they allow suppressed shooting (not sure why they wouldnt, but not sure what they have against FA either...)
anyone know when they are goin to complete the rifle and shotgun 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.
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:
