What to Wear and Bring to an Indoor Gun Range (Hixson, TN)

Your first trip to an indoor range is easier when you show up ready. Here is what to wear and what to bring to Shooter’s Supply in Hixson.

What to wear

• Closed-toe shoes only. Hot brass can land on exposed feet, so no flip-flops or open-toe footwear.
• A top that closes at the neck. Low-cut or open-collar tops are not allowed, because hot brass can fall down a loose neckline and cause burns, and a startled shooter holding a loaded gun is a safety risk.
• No clothing or jewelry that could get in the way of safely operating your firearm.
• Comfortable clothes you can move in.

What to bring

1. A photo ID. We check ID for everyone. Shooters 18 and over can shoot on their own.
2. Your signed waiver, or sign it online before you arrive: sign the waiver. Parents shooting with a minor should sign the adults with minors waiver.
3. Your firearm, unloaded and cased, if you have one. If you do not, we have rentals ($15 per handgun, $30 to try as many as you like, ammunition not included).
4. Ammunition, if it follows our rules: no steel-cased and no reloads. AR, AK, .300 Blackout and rental guns use our range ammunition from the labeled shelf at the store.
5. Nothing else is needed for protection. Eye and ear protection is free to rent.

What you do not need

You do not need to join first. A $38 Day Membership is good all day with no lane or time limits.

If you have never shot before

Start with a one-person lesson ($75 for one hour with an instructor, eye protection included, and you can stay and shoot for the rest of the day after the lesson), or ask at the front desk about a 30-minute range orientation. Read our new to shooting guide.

Good to know on the line

• One active shooter per lane.
• Paper targets only, $1 each at the counter.
• When the Range Safety Officer calls “Cease fire,” stop, take your finger off the trigger, set the firearm down pointed downrange and step back.
• Pregnant? Please talk to your doctor first. It is strongly advised not to shoot while pregnant.
