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.

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. http://www.nrahq.org/shootingrange/nrahqrange/ |

Not if the Skins keep losing; more like when.
Just go early and you can avoid the mad rush. |

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. |

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? |

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.

Yeah, ammo prices have made shooting an expensive outing.
