Indoor Shooting Range Near Chattanooga: 12 Lanes in Hixson, TN
Shooter's Supply has a 12-lane indoor shooting range at 4824 Hixson Pike in Hixson, TN, near Chattanooga. Safety comes first in everything we do, and a Range Safety Officer is on duty seven days a week. The range is for members, and anyone can try it with a Day Membership from $38. We have been serving our community for over 50 years.
The range at a glance
- Twelve indoor lanes, each 50 feet long, in a fully climate-controlled range with bright lighting and fast target deployment and retrieval.
- A viewing station in the range lobby, a gun cleaning room, and clean restrooms right off the lobby. Members also have a locker room for range gear.
- Range hours: Monday to Saturday, 10:00am to 6:00pm. Sunday, 12:00pm to 6:00pm.
- We call "cease fire" at 5:45 every day, so everyone has time to clean up and leave safely by closing.
What you can shoot here
You can shoot any pistol-caliber handgun or long gun on our range. The backstop handles handguns from .22 through .44 Magnum, shotguns with slugs only, and long guns chambered in .223/5.56, AK or .300 Blackout.
AR, AK and .300 Blackout rifles, and every rental gun, must use our range ammunition, sold from the clearly labeled range ammo shelf in the Hixson store. It is frangible, non-incendiary and tested as safe for our range. Steel-case, reloaded and hand-loaded ammunition are not allowed, and targets are paper only. Fully automatic firearms need a Range Safety Officer's approval first. Read the range rules before you come.
A members-only range, with a Day Membership to try it
For your continued safety, our range is members-only. Anyone can try it with a Day Membership from $38, good all day with no lane or time limits. If you plan to come back, Silver, Gold and Platinum range memberships start from $150 per year, and you can join on our new member sign up page.

Plan your first visit
- Sign your waiver online before you come. It saves time at the counter.
- Bring a photo ID. We check ID for everyone, and you must be 18 to shoot on your own.
- Wear closed-toe shoes and a top that closes at the neck. Hot brass can burn.
- Eye and ear protection are required on the range at all times. They are free to rent, and plenty are available to buy.
- No gun with you? Rent one from $15, ammunition not included. See how gun rentals work.
- Come to the store. A Range Safety Officer gets you set up on a lane and is there to help.
The four rules every shooter follows
Treat every firearm as if it is loaded. Keep it pointed downrange. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Know your target, what is beyond it and what is around it. It is one active shooter per lane, and rapid fire is not officially allowed, so check with the Range Safety Officer first. More is on our range safety page.
