You must fill out all the information. No reviews will be posted until reviewed by the webmaster. Your relationship to the facility will be posted. It is fine for someone affiliated to post a review of their own facility, but everyone needs to know if it is the owner or manager posting the review.
Critical but well reasoned and honest reviews will be posted in addition to positive reviews.
No rants or tirades will be posted. It is fine to post a critical review, but no negative reviews will be posted without your First and Last name and a valid email so I can check it out if necessary. If you can't identify yourself then I cannot post your review. Better yet, if you have a problem with the club, please give them a chance to solve it before posting a negative review here.
Anonymous reviews will not be posted. Sign your real name. Your email address must be valid. This site is not intended to be an open forum. I will post, or not post any review submitted as I see fit.
Your email address will not be posted with the review. I will use your email address to contact you only if I need to edit your review in any significant way before posting it, or to confirm your identity.

This is a respectful club on the outskirts of Athens, Tn. First of all this is a private location that is not accessible to non-members. All gates are closed and locked upon each entry due to club bylaws. As for info on joining you can go to the actual site and get lots of helpful info there, so I will not get into that. The club has the clubhouse which is for meetings, skeet house, archery area, and various firearm ranges. There is a large pond for fishing and canoeing as well. Not a real big place but it has plenty of amenities. It is very strict on safety issues, respect to the property, other members, and the surrounding homes and churches. We are strong supporters of the NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION and various local clubs and charities as well. Very good place to join if you can humble yourself and be respectful to the common sense rules of the club.

This is a private club and when I called on October 21, 2009 to inquire about shooting there, I was told that the only time I would be allowed to shoot was on Thursday afternoon after 4:30 pm until dark. The club president whom I spoke to didn’t sound a bit friendly or welcoming. In fact, it sounded as if he would have rathered I not call and bother him.
I had called his house two days earlier and left my phone number with his wife and asked that he call me regarding shooting at the club. He didn’t bother to return my call. I had to call him again two days later to talk with him. BTW, I did not bother to go to the club on Thursday at 4:30 pm so I can’t report on the condition or facilities present.
My advice if you are planning on shooting in the Athens, TN area is to look somewhere else.
