Guest Anemeth Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Major production company casting a reality TV show and we are in need of a cool gun shop that has a range nearby... Or a range that also sells guns. Cowboy Action Range, family-owned, with character. Lots of fun! Does anyone know of something like this in Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, or surrounding states?? Thanks so much! All of this is totally foreign to me so any leads would be greatly appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'd suggest you visit the SASS home page and search for a club near you, attend a shoot or two, and get to know some people. That might be the ticket for locating what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 www.sherwinshootingsports.com It's a 50' indoor range with 14 stalls. The steel backstop is enhanced by blocks of hard rubber. You can shoot up to a .308 cal. It's about 20 miles east of Cleveland,Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Quentin Quale, Esq. SASS 9953 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yeah...but...what they really want is a dysfunctional family/business that will give lots of TV drama. A well run shop with people who treat each other respectfully would be almost as interesting as paint drying...or the Super Bowl. A friend of mine with a large farm (950 deeded acres, 2500 under lease) was solicited for one of these "reality" shows built around a large farm. He was quickly disqualified as there was not near enough family "drama" to satisfy the producers. Remember that "reality TV" is now the ultimate oxymoron.

Peddler Parsons SASS # 31281 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 They need to find someplace else (or something different) to shoot their show, We as Cowboy shooters don't need to give the ANTI-GUN groups more ammo to use againist us or any other gun group. They may be the one's behind the whole thing just to show how we act and dress (like little kid with real gun) just to prove we are not mentally right to have guns.

Does anyone know of something like this in Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, or surrounding states?? Thanks so much! All of this is totally foreign to me so any leads would be greatly appreciated!! Are you meaning the gun store and range are owned by the same family? If not, there's Larry's Pistol and Pawn in Huntsville, AL and the North Alabama Regulators in Grant, AL. They're not owned by the same folks (the range vs. the gun store), but they're two nice places. The club actually leases the property for use as a Cowboy Action range. If you need a gun store on the property with the range owned by the same family, the list will be short. There's Slick McClade's in Lousiana and....uh...uh...I'm sure there's another one somewhere. If I'm not mistaken there may be a gun store on the property where the Kentucky Regulators shoot. I could be mistaken, but Mose Spencer would know for certain.

Cherokee Gambler, SASS # 33915 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Mustang Gregg has a gun store on a farm and is building a shooting range. I don't know how far along he is but you might try him. Also, his Guard unit is being activated some time this year.

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thats why I danced around the subject on the first post. Wasn't about to name names of anybody. Commonplace, sensical themes just don't sell on TV and if me wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. One of the outdoor channels would be OK but I'd really distrust anything else.

Use for lots of movie and TV filming. Contact "German Pete" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Kiowa Jones #6765 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Whoever decides to do this, it might be a good idea to run it through the SASS home office. They have a lot of experience dealing with these sort of things in a way that insures SASS doesn't get hammered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 To tell ya the truth, while I might watch such a show, I don't know that I'd want to be around or involved in the filming of it. Today's recipe for "reality" TV interjects way too much drama and strife for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick McClade Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks for all the pushes of our range and gunshop. But if this is like the other "Reality" shooting show that's currently running on the history channel, I want "NO" part of it. To much Drama and editing for my taste, but it never hurts to see what its about as long as your careful and stick to your good morals.

Blackey Cole Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Now the Red Jacket show isn't too bad for drama, It might be something like that for cowboy shooting instead of custom weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfouts Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 If you are still looking there is a family owned/operated gun store in LaFayette GA. Thats near the TN, AL, GA border. The can do a little shooting out back but and you dont have to drive too far for a shooting range. The name of the store is TailSpinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
