Post Place to shoot?
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.

Karl

Not much help for the short term but you could join the local Izzak Walton league. http://arlingtonfairfax-iwla.org

Hopefully someone can chime in with a better option. Good luck!

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/.

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! :D
