Opinions on ACC vs HCFG

[Patriot]

I live near 146th & River Rd in Hamilton County. I have been to Atlanta Conservation Club once for the NRA Basic Pistol Class I took. It seemed like a nice range. I have not been to Hamilton County Fish & Game.
I would like to hear what you consider the pro's and con's of each and/or any other range in the area you like better. I will only be shooting pistol.

I'm a member at HCFG and I've only been to Atlanta to watch the USPSA match once. If you are only shooting pistol I would think you would be much better served at Atlanta. Absolutely nothing against HCFG but one pistol bay compared to MANY seems like a no brainier. HCFG is not a "busy" place but if there is pretty much any function going on it is almost always in the one pistol bay that they have. I am much more of a rifle guy so the option of going out to 100 yards and even on occasion 150 yards is the selling point for me (for HCFG). About anyone else chiming in will be a more credible source but thats my 2 cents.
Best recomendation...Join Both!

I'm really curious to hear what others have to say as well. Going thru the same thought process.

As a "newer" member (joined after their July open house), I enjoy ACC for the ease (freedom) to shoot at will.

ACC has many weekend events that has me getting involved with the shooting sport. Nothing wrong with that................

I no nothing about HCFG.


Be kind rewind (aka: leave no trace) [carry out what you carry in]

As a Hamilton Co. resident I am curious about both of these places I have heard of HCFG,but thought it was private. Can you guys who belong give me some insight on what you need to do to join ACC or HCFG. and what do both offer and what is the cost structure to shoot at these locations?...such as are there dues or what? Thanks
