We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

The folks at Clark Bros provide a nice service in an, otherwise, "shoot in the back yard" environment. It does have somedrawbacks like that you have to buy your ammo and targets there to use the range. 45 ACP, for example, runs about $18 per 50 for Wolf (voids most warrantees) and $25 per 50 for Winchester "white box" (Wal Mart sells for around $15).
Also, its just a stand and plink facility. If you're at all interested in honing skills that are useful for self defense, its limited. No draw practice, reloading drills are tough in the stalls, and if you drop a mag past the bench, you get to wait 15-30 min to retrieve it.
The moral is that its convenient if you work in town, live in the country and just need to blow off steam. I shoot every 1-2 weeks there and find it useful with these considerations.
I would love to find someplace to shoot regularly within 30 miles of 211 & 229 where I can actually shoot. If anyone knows a place let me know...!

Thanks. I haven't fired in awhile and need to stay current on the ole skills. I actually find my .38 harder to fire than my old glock. You live a good ways away from there, I'm shocked there's nothing closer.

Chickahominy is closer to you and while they have closed the handgun range, I am sure mouse guns are still allowed. If not, I have no idea where the blackshirts go

I actually live at the intersection of 211 & 229, and Clark's is 10ish miles away. I'd just like to get back to IDPA/IPSC like shooting without having to go to Fredrickburg , Charlottesville or Winchester. Blackshirts... Hmmm... I know a few of those locations, I'll have to check... As for Chickahominy, you mentioned it has a "closed handgun" range... Are there ranges their? Could it be revitalized with support?

They do have ranges but it is a Wildlife Management Area and they decided to close the handgun ranges. I expect it's signed in blood.
The change was made under the old director and interim director after the old director got caught with his hand in the till (so to speak)....The New director is a friend of mine so I guess I won't badmouth him (Just yet anyway)
FYI..Definition of a blackshirt.
A thin, pasty little fellow who wears black underarmor shirts, thick, black, plastic rimmed glasses, and talks very fast. Most of his comments are in military acronyms even though he was likely rejected for being a thin pastey little fellow.
Spends all his money on useless gizmos for his AR and on HAM radio equipment.
Very difficult to be around for more than 30 seconds.

Every couple weeks I try to stop in... Been eye'n a couple Kimber's and Nighthawks, waiting for Uncle "sugar" to help me fund my next fix. I haven't struck up any friendships there, but usually just come to drool and buy something to help support and keep his shop afloat. In fact, he's the one that gave me info on the IDPA range toward charlottesville.
