Anybody been to what used to be known as Tactical Concepts indoor range in Douglasville. What do you think about it?

 

[Mastino177]

Where is this place? Always looking for a good place to shoot paper.

 

[Doc Holliday]

It is on Hwy 78 going towards Lithia Springs. I have heard some things about this place that were not positive so I was trying to get opinions on it.

 

[tony218]

if it's the one i'm thinking of
i went by there about three weeks ago and it was
closed up.
i stopped in there about a year ago they had four
guns in the diplay case and that was it.
i used to drive by it everyday and never saw a
car in the parking lot.
i work near there i'll ride by when i get off work
and see if they opened back up.
i'll let you guys know what i find out.
i get off at 5:00pm today.

 

[Mastino177]

Unless someone reopened it, you'll find it closed. I think it closed because of owners that didn't know how to run such a business.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Ok, I didn't know that it closed. I was there back in the summer and I didn't like what I saw. Negligence to say the least....

i went by there last night and it was closed
i wonder what it would take to reopen :-k :-k

Far as I knew they were open. Used to be known as Excaliber Pistol Range, now its like Tactical Concepts. I believe they are open to 8pm, have Bowling Pin shoots on Wednesdays. They have full autos to shoot and gun selection is mostly all Glocks. I shot down there about 2 weeks ago, nobody else was there, so you can kinda have the place to yourself. Its $15 for all day shooting.

 

[Mastino177]

Doc-

Try the outdoor range at Temple...forgot the name.

There is also a range in Grantville (indoor), south of Newnan. Don't know where you are, but those are another two.

 

[Ixliam]

The one in Temple is Advanced Bullets, great place to shoot. Here's a link to them http://www.advancedbullets.com/.

then we are not talking about the same place.

I do shoot at Advanced in Temple

I have shot at Advanced in Temple quite a few times. I like shooting there for the most part even though it is an outdoor range. I really enjoy shooting my handguns at an indoor pistol range though and that is why I am asking about Tactical Concepts.

So now I guess Tactical Concepts is still open? On Bankhead Highway (HWY 78.) outside of D-Ville heading towards Lithia Springs? Located in a little shopping center next to a gas station? Are we all talking about the same place?

When I first went there a couple of years ago, it was being run by I think the same guy that goes by the handle FIREARMZ on this website. He ran a safe, legitmate place. However I go back a few months later and it seems that ownership had changed hands. The last time I went I was witness to gross, extreme negligence. I swore that I would never go back. All I really wanted to know is if it has cleaned up it's act (and the premisis, kinda dirty) and maybe got new owners or something. If that is the case then I might consider going back.

 

[Ixliam]

Yep, that's the place. Right next to the little road that used to go to the old Walmart on Fairburn Rd, in that little shopping center with a gas station, some kinda mom & pop blue plate restaurant. Its the only indoor range I know of in the Lithia Springs/Douglasville area. I think it has changed owners several times over the years since it was first built.

That is the best news that I have heard in a while! Now I can go back there and shoot again.
