Location details and information
Strategic Edge Gun Range operates as a hybrid facility: they run professional training and range services for U.S. Military, federal agencies, and law enforcement, but they also maintain a dedicated members-only shooting facility near Chapel Hill, Tennessee.
The range itself is purpose-built for real shooting conditions. Members get:
- •Centerfire rifle ranges: 100 to 1550 yards with steel and paper targets
- •Pistol bays: Static and tactical ranges up to 50 yards (three-sided autonomous design)
- •Carbine ranges: Tactical carbine bays extending to 75 yards
- •Rimfire range: Dedicated 22LR range, 25–300 yards
- •State-of-the-art Range Condition Alert System (RCAS): Proprietary safety technology that displays real-time range conditions
Unlike indoor ranges, their outdoor setup means members can practice draw strokes, tactical movement, and unconventional shooting positions—activities prohibited at most commercial facilities.
- •Annual membership: $300 individual (discounted rates for family members—spouse and children under 21)
Members and their guests access the range from sunrise to sunset, 7 days a week (closed for maintenance, events, classes, or matches—check calendar). All applicants undergo criminal and civil background checks plus mandatory safety training before approval. You get a custom ID card and gate/building code.
Fair warning: Wait times for new membership can run 2 months to 1 year. Strategic Edge maintains a waiting list—sign up early if you're interested.
