Shooting range question
Hello everyone. NC1760 here. I live in Cary (just West of Raleigh) and I wonder if anyone knows of a close by outdoor shooting range for rifles and shotguns (skeet, trap) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm also not interested in joining a club (for now... just too busy to commit). I just want to get some shooting (other than defensive/pistols) in.
Thanks and GO CANES!!!

Thanks buddy. Looks like Drake's Landing is my best bet. I went there once while in the neighborhood to check things out. People seemed friendly enough and the facility was nice.

About an hour and a half from Cary is Uwaharrie National Forrest in Troy. They used to have an outdoor range where you could bring anything you wanted as a target. My favorite was old furniture or appliances. It was free years ago and you could camp and ride the 4wheeler trails. It may be worth checking out for a weekend trip.

The Wake County (just out sid of Holly Springs) public range is a good location.

Yeah, I went there for my CCW range qualification and that place is not for me.... too restrictive and clickish for my needs. I appreciate the response though.
