Looking for some help. I'm Air Force and moved to (Burke) Northern Virginia, about a year and a half ago, and am looking for a place to sight in my new shotgun and do some patterning. I don't mind driving an hour or so if necessary or if someone has property and wants to join me to shoot. The shooting range near me I can shoot only lead loads and only to 30 yds which is a little short. Open to ideas and options. Feel free to pm me. Thanks in advance.
Hopefully someone can chime in with a better option. Good luck!

Re: Place to shoot?
The NRA has a range at their headquarters in Fairfax, which is fairly close to Burke. DGIF offers a Sighting-In Range at C.F. Phelps WMA that is about an hour from Burke (Tue - Sun, 9-430 and 1-430 on Sun). Here is link for Phelps info - https://www.dgif.virginia.gov/wma/cf-phelps/.

Re: Place to shoot?
Thanks guys. I will have to check out C.F. Phelps range sometime soon. The NRA range allows shotguns, but you can only shoot slugs. Certainly wouldn't be the worst thing to take a day off work and go shoot some guns!
