Outdoor Shooting Ranges - 04/19/22 01:42 AM

Anyone know of outdoor shooting ranges besides the wma's? Mainly looking in the Richmond area. But this can be open to all of virginia so everybody far and wide can learn.

I have a 100 yard range with a benchrest, about 1.5 hour from Mechanicsville.

I haven't seen much with public access, and some of the WMAs like at Amelia lake are closed this time of year

I am in Louisa and have considered going out to Hite Hollow, but it doesn't open until May 1

Va Hunter, how far is your range from Louisa?

I'm guessing a couple hours. Zip is 23937 if you want an accurate distance.
