So far as indoors goes, Sandy Springs Gun Club is fine. They just have an age requirement as many of the others do. The one off Highway 9 in Alpharetta is called Sharpshooters USA and they have just enough restrictive rules to make me avoid it. Plus the staff there don't know they are supposed to assist patrons; I think they just go to hang out themselves. But anyway...
I was mainly just seeing if anyone else had a great experience with any other spots. Oh and Discover Mills is now Sugarloaf Mills. And I was able to score a bunch if .22 ammo there this past weekend. :) -- Brandon Wood > On Aug 13, 2014, at 12:09, "Ron Frazier (TECHC)" > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Brandon, > > I'm never quite sure where Sandy Springs is.
