thanks for the update E45

pturner67 · August 18, 2012, 05:40 PM

I'm going to be at the NRA range tomorrow (Sunday) morning with a friend around 10:30 if anyone wants to join me.

pturner67 · September 27, 2012, 03:54 PM

I'm gonna be at the gun show in Chantilly Saturday at 11am with a few gun enthusiasts if anyone wants to meet up there.

I'm in Dulles VA. I have visited Silver Eagle once for a look see. Much cleaner than that other nearby range. I hope to shoot a bit at SEG soon to evaluate. I'm also liking their indoor 50 yd for rifle.

pturner67 · October 8, 2012, 12:23 PM

Jimbo,

Silver Eagle is very nice...almost like a country club

Take a look at the NRA range in Fairfax. It's 50 yd indoor. It's very clean and they have a big focus on safety.

THNX ! I hear great things about the NRA range......alas......I also hear about the crowds. Will advise about my visit to SEG.

I've found that once the football games start on Sunday, the crowds aren't as bad. I don't watch sports so I'm not missing anything and can usually get in pretty quick. If the Skins keep losing that might change.

pturner67 · October 10, 2012, 03:44 PM

Not if the Skins keep losing; more like when.

Just go early and you can avoid the mad rush.

pturner67 · November 10, 2012, 04:44 PM

I will be heading to the NRA range in Fairfax tomorrow morning at 10am with a buddy of mine if anyone wants to meet there.

pturner67 · November 15, 2012, 10:46 AM

This weekend, I'm heading to the Dulles Expo Gun Show if anyone wants to meet up. I usually go with a few friends to tool around, people watch, and pick up ammo. And we grab lunch afterwards.

There's a $1 off coupon on the website

http://thenationsgunshow.com

If you're interested, let me know and we can make plans to meet up.

MTHall720 · November 26, 2012, 07:45 PM

Anyone from central MD like Frederick County?

pturner67 · December 25, 2012, 07:10 PM

Another gun show in Chantilly this coming Fri-Sun. I'm heading out there. If anyone wants to meet up, feel free to PM me.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas.

pturner67 · April 22, 2013, 03:31 PM

It's been a while. Hope everyone is doing well.

I'd like to get a few people together this coming Saturday morning and go to the NRA range or Sharpshooters.

Who's in?

Sher Khan · April 23, 2013, 12:03 PM

Thanks for keeping this thread alive. I can't make it this weekend, but mebbe another time.

bumnote · April 28, 2013, 05:31 PM

Went to the NRA range today around 12:30 and it was.....empty!

Shot until I ran out of rounds, there was no waiting list. Couldn't believe it, I had tried about 6 weeks ago and it was so packed I went home.

pturner67 · May 14, 2013, 09:17 AM

Yeah, ammo prices have made shooting an expensive outing.

pturner67 · May 14, 2013, 09:18 AM

My nephew is in town from college and we will be heading to the NRA range this coming weekend if anyone wants to meet us up there.

pturner67 · April 30, 2014, 01:35 PM

Heading to either the NRA range or Blue Ridge Arsenal this weekend and wanted to see if anyone on here wanted to join me. Most likely will be around 9am either Sat or Sun.

hvymax · August 8, 2014, 10:13 PM

Hidey Ho from SMIBville . I live close to Myrtle Grove but pretty much shoot in my back yard. You might have seen my pic carrying in DC last week.
