I have shot there several times and really enjoyed it due to the amount of land they owned and how open and uncrowded the Sporting Clays layout seemed. We owned a condo just on the south side of Belle Meade while my daughter was there, and I seem to remember that the club was in some form the descendant of an old Belle Meade Gun Club. Lot of history in that area due to the residents. Hit hard by the 1000 (yes) flood they had several years ago.
I also remembered that a lot of the Nashville shooters at one time made the short trip north to Gamiliel Ky to shop at the Gameliel Gun Shop. It is just east of Glasgow on I-65. Nothing fancy at all but in a small farm crossroads that had a barbecue pit that cooked all week and sold for one day a week. Concrete block building that had customers lined up outside to the corner all day. The gun store was a real mover and shaker in the trapshooting community and drew a lot of business from Nashville. I haven't been there for years but bought a lot of high end used shotguns there over several years.
