Governors Gun Club

Bert and Kristina Brown founded Governors Gun Club in 2013 with a simple observation: shooters and fine dining enthusiasts had to visit two different places. They merged the shooting sport with country club lifestyle to create something that didn't exist in the industry.

The Powder Springs location launched that vision. By early 2018, they expanded to Kennesaw with an 87,500 square foot facility—more than 4 times larger than the original—signaling how fast the shooting sports market was growing.

The indoor sporting clay range is the first of its kind in North America—this is what sets them apart from every other range in the region.

They don't market themselves as "best" or "finest"—they let specifics speak. The indoor sporting clay range literally doesn't exist elsewhere in North America. The 32 dedicated pistol/rifle lanes mean you're not waiting for a bay. Training happens year-round, indoors, regardless of weather. Membership benefits are transparent and tiered so casual shooters and serious competitors both find value.

Consignment is straightforward: bring a firearm, get expert evaluation, fair pricing, quick turnaround. No complexity.
