    If you're looking for a range in Alabama, I'd recommend going somewhere else. They still require a…read moreCCW permit to join, even though Alabama went full constitutional carry back in 2023. The state law clearly says no permit is needed to carry concealed anymore, but this place is sticking to the old requirement just to be extra gate keepey about 2A. It's their private property, so they can set their own rules I understand that. But the part that really stands out is how they deny ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE members if they don't have a CCW. Let get real these are the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect and defend the Constitution, including the Second Amendment. And yet they're being told they need a government issued permission slip just to shoot at this range BWAHAHAHA. That feels completely backwards and disrespectful to those who serve. Most folks aren't going to go through the extra steps classes, fees, paperwork, fingerprints, photos, and waiting periods when the state already says you're good to go without any of it. If you want a background check just run every member though any of the 1000 background check sites. It ends up just being straight gatekeeping, limiting access to only those who already got the government's approval. CCW permits have ALWAYS been unconstitutional because the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms without needing government permission slips it's a fundamental right, not a privilege granted by the state. Big miss for this range It's disappointing to see a place that's supposed to be pro-gun still doing this in 2026 Alabama, especially when it affects active duty members who just want to go enjoy their rights. If you're looking for a no-hassle spot with better vibes, try the Talladega range, Sentinals, or Hoover Tactical if you need a rifle range and if you are lucky just shoot at a friend's place if you know anyone with land no CCW anti 2a Drama. This one gets a 0/10 from me. Save your time and go elsewhere.

    My name is Steve Ross. I've been a member of this range for something like15 years. There's not…read moreanother range within 50 miles that can hold a candle to it, or compare with the Jon's management team, Lee and Dave. Safety is their first and most important requirement, and if you intend to shoot there you're required to take the safety course. You may think you don't need it but a refresher is always in order. An attitude such as I've noted in a couple of posts here doesn't recommend you no matter how experienced you may think you are. All the years I've been a member at FOP Pleasant Grove I've never had a bad experience with any of the staff. My grandson learned to shoot there because I trusted the quality and safety of his instructors, The only times that left a sour note -- and they've been very, very few through the years -- it's been because some member or visitor thought the rules were for someone else. Jon -- thanks for all you do for your members, neighbors and the public. In service, amenities and cost you're the best. Please use my name if you post this review.

    This is a 1000 acre plantation - licensed hunting preserve offering great wing shooting. As dorky…read moreas it sounds there really is a wholesome atmosphere to the place. They make you feel like a part of the family. Selwood caters to both corporate outings and to family groups. They have meeting space if you want to bring some business associates. They have rooms to spend the night. The place is rustic - big fireplace - hunting lodge look - really nice - the rooms are also rustic each has a bath - they are built out of reclaimed old wood... Their meals are homecooked, and are fantastic. You place your order ahead of time for dinner, steaks for example - if you plan to spend the night... Breakfast is just what you would expect - Hearty. in front of a roaring fire. They have guided hunts, whole-day or half-day, with trained bird dogs and professional, knowledgeable guides in a natural, southern setting. The place is large. Many varied fields to select from - wooded, open, etc. They have sporting clays. I suggest that for a nice experience, get there in time to shoot a 100 round of clays on day one, then get up for a morning hunt. They have a very high tower at station 1. Birds are high up... My only complaint - the beds are often a bit on the uncomfortable side. ...don't know where they got the mattresses.

    First let me point out I don't hunt or own guns. But my son wanted to go here to shot some sport…read moreclays. You can rent guns and buy ammo there. It's really a very cool place to go for a weekend adventure with the family. You have a general sports clay area for practice then you have the course. You are give a trail map of sorts and a golf cart and off you go to the first station. It was such a blast. We have now gone there several times with the family. I always know it's a hit when my wife who never likes to do anything physical or that makes you sweat was all into it:) fun fun fun. If your looking for that one crazy weekend thing to do that you will talk about forever this is it. Yes and my wife shot like a sniper.

We started to fill out the liability waiver and I asked about ammo. I purposefully didn't bring ammo because I wanted to support the business by purchasing their ammo. I was told they were completely out of ammo and that I could find some at Marks outdoors down the road. Then I was told that the pistol range was closed so we would be using our pistols next to all of the rifles. The folks behind us were two young kids with an AK. I wasn't too happy to be sharing the range with these young kids and their AK. I wanted to brush up on some things with my wife so she would still be comfortable with the pistol we bought for her. So without ammo we left and headed to marks outdoors. As I was in the ammo section of marks explaining to the ammo attendant our situation, a random person next to me said that he always gets a mini draco inadvertently waved at him by some untrained young kids. So this would be 0 stars but u give it 1 because the folks at the front counter were very nice and they did tell me where to find ammo. We didn't bother shooting there today and I'll probably never go back unless I hear the safety requirements are being policed far more stringently. Too bad this is the only indoor range around...
