Founding Story: For years, enjoying the shooting range and indulging in a fine dining experience meant two separate destinations. Bert Brown, and wife Kristina, sought to change that when they originated the idea for the “Guntry Club”- a marriage of the shooting sport and the country club lifestyle usually reserved for the most elite country clubs. At the time, the shooting sport was as popular as golf and growing in participation faster than any other sport. Brown, an owner of a small design firm with experience in ranges, noticed this trend and researched what shooters wanted in a range. Equipped with this knowledge, the first Governors Gun Club opened in 2013 in Powder Springs. In early 2018, Governors expanded operations into Kennesaw with an 87,500 square foot facility, more than 4 times larger than Powder Springs. The new location boasts 32 pistol and rifle lanes, three 100-yard high-power rifle lanes, a 30-yard indoor archery range, and archery hunting simulator. The biggest draw for shooters is the indoor sporting clay range, a first of its kind in North America, capable of trap, sporting clay, 5-Stand, and bunker trap. 

Mission Statement: At Governors Gun Club, our mission is to provide a world-class firearms experience that combines safety, education, and community in an upscale environment. We are dedicated to serving both new and seasoned shooters by offering premier facilities, expert instruction, and a welcoming atmosphere that promotes responsible gun ownership. With locations in Kennesaw and Powder Springs, we strive to be more than a gun club—we are a place where members and guests can train, connect, and enjoy the unique lifestyle of shooting sports with excellence and integrity.
