Re: Cowboy Silhouette In Tennessee
That's a nice 6.5 hour drive for me, can you recommend hotels in the area?

I am not speaking for Dale or Greg on the matter, but I can share personal experience since I am granted temporary citizenship/amnesty by the Volunteer State during silhouette season.snaketail2 wrote:That's a nice 6.5 hour drive for me, can you recommend hotels in the area?

CRC is 5 minutes off of I-75 at the Ooltewah exit, exit 11 I believe. Between the river/downtown Chattanooga and Ooltewah there are many motels/hotels. Dale usually works with a local hostelry or two for a small discount for participants, but don't count on that until you hear it from him. This is an active community with many things going on, so booking a room timely is wise. I usually try one of those right at exit 11, then work my way south. At the Ooltewah exit are a Hampton Inn, a Holiday Inn Express, and a Super 8. I'm speculating (Google can confirm) that there are probably close to dozen or so within 15-20 minutes of the range.

There are many good name brand hotels close to the Chattanooga Rifle Club. Starting at Hamilton Place Mall all the way up to Ooltewah. The rifle club is just a short drive up I-75 from Hamilton Place to the Ooltewah exit.

Re: Cowboy Silhouette In Tennessee
I have stayed at the LaQuinta Inn in Hamilton (Exit 5, I think) and at the Best Western (Exit 7) during the state match. To be honest, I didn't care for the hustle and bustle being that close to the mall. The only advantage I can see is the array of places to eat, but the trade off is traffic.
I much prefer staying closer to the range at exit 11 and just eat at Crackerbarrel every day

There are three motels near our range. The Holiday inn will run you 114.00 a night, the Super8 is 79.00 a night .I have setup rates for our state matches but not the regular matches, If you are into camping there is a great state park nearby with great sites and aminities. Hope to see you at our matches.

So far it looks like it is going to be a great weather day. Bring your lunch and lots of ammo. Best range and match in the southeast.
