So, I'm moving to Knoxville for law school this fall.
The wife and I are renting a home in Louisville, TN, which is equidistant to UTK and Maryville, where she'll be teaching.
What are recommendations for indoor gun ranges here?
CCA seems to be the biggest deal nearby. Gunny's is a bit closer to me, but their online range membership prices look significantly higher.
Any range bargains I'm missing?

So, one more bump..........
Any big problems with CCA? I checked them out, and the facilities seem ok. My schedule matches with their "mini" range pass (basically just daytime hours), and it seems like a good deal for $75/yr. Thoughts on them or other places?

CCA is good, but they are closed Sunday. THe best deal by far is ORSA....when i get my membership done I can "sponsor" you there...its only $125.00 per year and has a 300yd range, skeet range, pistol"plinking" range, and a crappy indoor range(lead only). I have a CCA membership but I find with them closed Sundays im not really getting a lot of value from my membership...though I will probably still renew. When you get here lemme know and we can go shoot some sh*t :D

Thanks for the info. Yeah, the ORSA sounds good if for nothing else but skeet. My wife hates when I wave the shotgun around the living room.
I signed up for CCA's 10a-4p mini range pass. I'll be a full time law student at UT-Knoxville so will have some several hour gaps during the day. So far they haven't been busy.

ORSA has IDPA, and more.

Also, NRA membership counts as a sponsor toward joining.
