Reading through this thread...several of you are not far away at all!
I saw Kingsport (about 12 miles up 11w)
Greeneville (not far "as the crow flies", but about 40 miles by the roads)
Bean Station (about 20 miles....good places to do some longer range hunting in that area)
Others too...Elizabethton, Morristown, Gray, Knoxville...
I'm in Surgoinsville...gun)
And yes...Oak Ridge has a club with a 1,000 yard range last I heard...somebody from one of the forums invited me down there a couple of years ago but I didn't make it (work...always in the way)...heck, right now I can't even remember who invited me, LOL...it might have been HSO from THR forum but I'm not sure.
EDIT: It was a member called "criver" on SnipersHide that invited me down...I checked back through my PM's, LOL...that was more than a couple of years ago too...it was in 2008.
