Ammo:

  • Please check with an employee for pricing on any ammo. Because of recent events we are limiting one box per customer per day. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Q: What do I need to buy a gun?
A: For handguns, we need a valid Georgia ID with a current address. If the address on your ID is no longer correct, a state issued ID will suffice for proof of address (for example: a concealed carry permit or a hunting/fishing license).

For long guns, a valid GA or AL ID with a current address. If the address on your ID is no longer correct, a state issued ID will suffice for proof of address (for example: a concealed carry permit or a hunting/fishing license).

FOR MILITARY:
All we need from military is your driver's license, Military ID and PCS orders bring you to Fort Benning. If you're on TDY orders, those , unfortunately, are not enough to prove residency in Georgia. If you're a mobilized reservist with orders for 365 days or more, or a series of orders that prove you've been here or will be here for more than 365 days, that will work, and we will need copies of all of them.

Q. Do you offer Layaway?
A. Yes. Our layaway terms are 20% down payment, 90 days same as cash.

Q: Can you keep a copy of my PCS orders on file?
A: No. We do not have a system that will allow us to keep track of every individual soldier's orders. We recommend keeping a copy of your orders in your vehicle for future purchases.

Q: Can I shoot my AR15 on your range?
A: No. We only allow pistol calibers and shotguns on the range. This means that if you have a carbine in a pistol caliber, it may be fired on our range. If you have an AR Pistol that is chambered in .223 Rem or a similar caliber, it is ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED. If you are found shooting rifle calibers on our range, you will be asked to leave, and may be held responsible for damages caused by your firearm. THIS IS SIMPLY A LIABILITY ISSUE.

Q: Where can I go to shoot my rifle?
A: There are several ranges at Georgia Wildlife Management Areas, the two closest to Columbus are Big Lazer and Hannahatchee Creek WMA's. Info for them can be found here: http://www.georgiawildlife.com/node/920

Apart from those options, there is:

East Alabama has a nice facility, however the rifle range is limited to 100yds. Fort Benning has a longer range, but is set up for static firing only, whereas EAGC has bays that allow for more "dynamic" practice.

We will be sure to add to this and edit it as things change. If you have more specific questions, feel free to contact us at (706) 568-9313.
