Since the range just started being available on Wednesday evenings (saw it on the VCDL alert ), I thought I'd give it a go. It was superb. Only took 30 mins from downtown Richmond. You bring your own eyes, ears, and ammo. They sell targets there if you want them.
Like the VCDL alert said, it was a ghost town. Only 3-4 other people there. It's open to the public (don't have to be military or a dependant), 5 bucks per hour, pretty good deal if you ask me. The range officer is very professional and knows his stuff. Definitely keeps it safe. They need to rebuild the berm before they allow centerfire rifles, but they said they put the work order in, so it may be possible in the near future. However, if they don't get any new shooters, then the Army isn't going to spend any more money on building it up. So go shoot there!
