The POW (Privately Owned Weapons) range at Ft. Lee has re-opened after a mult-year closure.
The range is open on SUNDAY only at this time from 10am - 4pm. Last shooter permitted on the range at 3pm. No one under 10 yrs old permitted at any time. Range operates 10 minutes "hot", then 5 minutes "cold". During "cold" time, firearms must be unloaded and on the table. You cannot touch the firearm during range "cold" time. Shooting from a draw is not permitted. (They didn't say so, but I'm doubtful that malfunction drills, or reload drills would be permitted.) The range permits pistol, shotgun, and rimfire rifle at this time. Larger bore rifle may be opened later with range to 300m. Range fee is $5, they sell targets, rent hearing protection.
You must receive the range safety briefing and sign a waiver.
Access to the range is at the intersection of River Rd. and Puddledock Rd. 1/4 mile north of Temple Ave. Obey the 25mph speed limit. I got stopped once for 27 in a 25 on Ft. Lee. Yep. That's what the MP said: "27 in a 25"

From the map above. Take River Rd. north, 20 yards cross RR tracks, 1/4 mile turn right, go through gate and all the way to the end is the POW range.
