$20 Million CMP shooting park coming to OKC?

They have shotgun and pistol ranges in Talladega, too.

Facilities that size require tons of money just for annual maintenance like mowing, berm maintenance, road maintenance, club house construction and maintenance, and the list goes on.

The guy that build USAA in Tulsa put a million dollars in sod before the SWAT Nationals a week before the match to make the place look great. He had a whole lot more disposable cash than any range normally has.

The OKC gun club is a really great facility with a large budget, so this range would have to compete with them for members.

Would love it.

But it it's located in Tulsa, they wouldn't be competing against OKCGC. Also, would these be restricted membership only ranges? Or public use ranges?

Public use

The new CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park is one of the most advanced outdoor facilities in the world – unlike any other. Boasting the latest technological advances in the realm of marksmanship, it is a must-see destination for firearm enthusiasts across the country. The park will be open to the public, year round, offering many opportunities to marksmen of all ages.

Plans were approved in March 2012 by the CMP Board of Directors. The 500-acre facility – located two miles from the world-famous Talladega Superspeedway – features a 600-yard rifle range with targets at 200, 300 and 600 yards, a 100-yard multi-purpose range and a 50-yard pistol range. It also includes 15 action pistol bays and a trap field, 5-stand field and a 15-station sporting clays field – all with automated trap machines.

The beauty of their 600-yard range is the target system. Your hits are displayed on a monitor next to you at the firing line.

The range fees are also very reasonable considering the amenities.

Crazy! I wrote my thesis on this range design 15 years ago. I wonder if I can get a kick back?

That place looks amazing!

We need more decent outdoor ranges in the OKC area...
