I am looking for a place to sight in my new rifle here in the Triad area. I found a few ranges but most are pistol, anyone have a connection they don't mind sharing? If all else fails I am considering URE.

thanks.
 
A new place in Rural Hall...right off the exit at hwy.52... is rumored to allow rifles. I don't know the name, but it's beside of tractor supply.

Triad somethingorother next to TSC on 65. They allow all but the highest powered rifles there. Good folks and decent hourly rates, too. I know they'll allow a .50 Desert Eagle and a BFR on the range, I'm guessing what you got won't hurt their backstop!
 
Dinkins bottoms in lewisville. Havent been there, but its an indoor deal. Place out in Boonville just off of 601. Again, havent been there either. Do most of my shooting at the old resevoir in davie county. My boss knows the owner so he gets permission from time to time. We shoot everything from pistols, to 30-06 to home made cannons out there.

if your looking to sight in, and have a sportsmans liscense, go to the game lands off 801 in davie. Its squirell season, a 30-06 may be a bit overkill.....but atleast its a safe place to shoot.

Check out the place at dinkins bottoms first. Its called sportsmand world or somthing like that. They have NRA safety courses, so i would assume they shoot rifles there. in the same building is also morris guns, a gun store and i know they sell rifles. Dinkins bottoms road is the exit on 421 in lewisville after shallowford road.
 
I'm pretty sure the place off Dinkins Bottom Rd. in Yadkin hasn't reopened yet. Think they're still remodeling.

Yep Do that show up with your orange hat and your sportsmans hunting license with the 30'06 and watch them take you gun and everything else for hunting deer out of season, or using a gun in bow season.....
like Kevin Lawler said, It's illegal to target practice on Gamelands.

deer is out of season, but squirrel isnt! its hard to get the little suckers to hold still long enough for two or three shots to get a scope sighted in and if you hit one on the first shot with a thirty ought not much left to to aim at on the second shot.

your game book will detail what caliber you can hunt with.

have to make rules like thus to keep folks from sitting in a tree stand and claiming to be squirrel hunting

Why shoot and kill something you will not eat?:shaking:
That is the point Deer is out of season and that is what the ticket will be " hunting deer out of season":lol:
Also lot of gamelands to hunt with centerfire you need to be in a tree stand better known as a deer stand.... And as pointed out read the book there was something in there about out of deer season the only thing you could carry was a .22 or a shotgun for birds or small game.

Please don't tell people to go on game lands with a 30'06 to shoot small game out of the tops of trees. Someone a few miles away will get killed and they will close or limit hunting in that gamelands for us.
Hunters treat this talk like.......... some in the 4x4 group talking about..... going on this cool place to 4x4 and running over small trees making new trails but then we got out just in time before the owners and cops got us, next time we will hit it at night.......
 
your right. poorly thought out advice on the game lands use.

Sportsman world is open though. they've had commercials on the radio 101.1.
