Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

VGOF FIRED UP SHOOT AND GREET!

When: Saturday October 1st, 2011 - 11AM-2PM

Where: Sharpshooters Small Arms Range
8194-M Terminal Rd.
Lorton, Virginia 22079
[MAP ->]
What to bring: Handguns only and plenty of ammo. Targets if you want to bring them, or you can buy targets there.

Cost: $22.00 for a monthly membership and range fee, unless I can work something out with them ahead of time, which I doubt

I think that pretty much covers it. Are you going? Chime in right here!

Oh man, I wish I could attend but I'll be out of town

Count me in!
What time?

11am - 2pm sounds about right. Maybe a late lunch afterward.

I will be there

Got to update my membership, (I still have 4 passes left over )

Vern

Figure I'd wait a while and see who else wants to show up, but don't see any more replies.
What happened to the OP?
Y'all mind if I bring one or two co-workers? We will all pay the fee, no problem. I was just hoping more people would show up, get some competition going...

the more the merrier

I will be bringing a co-worker as well

Vern

Nuts. I am taking a Pat Goodale class in Schafferstown PA that weekend. I hope there are more NOVA meet ups in the near future.

Woot woot sign me uP!!!

I'm new out here myself and this seems like a good way to meet some of you fellas out there. From what I'm gathering first weekend of October we shall have a meet and shoot? I haven't been to any yet here but from word of mouth NOVA is dead on with his post about the ranges

I would like to shoot my rifles as well. Is there an out door range or does anybody own land to shoot on?

Outdoor ranges include Cresap Rifle club in Frederick , Maryland and Clarke Brothers in Warrenton, VA. Both have 100 yard targets. Cresap's has more booths and you only pay a "donation" for each target. Strict range rules and when you are done you better leave whent they tell you to. But you can shoot for hours! Well organized and friendly though. Just don't argue with them!

Clarke Bros is a little more laid back but still safe. Fewer booths to shoot from and last time I went I think they charged by the hour. And you have to use their ammo. But at least you can shoot anything you want from shotgun, not limited to slugs like other ranges.

Man, I'd be willing to drive a couple of hours to open land for some real target practice.

I would love to go, but I will still be out of town. Maybe next time.

Trigger and I arer interested. Need to check the calendar. Hope it doesn't conflict with our Octoberfest event!!!

Yea nothing like open land shooting. I can't wait to go back home in Tennessee. Dads got a house on like 60 acres

Opening day of bow season, I'd love to attend, but I'll be 30 feet up a tree somewhere. Next time!

I'm interested but have to check with the spousal unit about a possible conflict that weekend. If I can clear the conflict, I'll be there.

"So, since I don't know about the nova area yet, could someone get a new thread started for something here and then post a link to the new thread here? Don't mean to be pushy. I just put a few things together in PA and I'd like to start doing it here too. Problem is, I don't know where to go and stuff. I'll work harder soon:)."

So here you go:

Heck, I'll even pick you up (since I'm in Reston) if you need a ride. See, we already got a half-dozen folks saying they will try to make it there.

Thanks for the help NOVA, also thanks for the PM. Been really crazy lately and I haven't had, correction, MADE the time to get on here. Sorry about that.

I'd love to make that but I work every Saturday from 9-5. I'm a manager at a retail store. I'm still going to see about that breakfast though. That's not far from me so maybe I'll check that out Sunday.

I guess I was posting at the wrong time before. Or maybe it was just NOVA? Seems like people got pretty pumped up pretty quick after you posted .

I'll keep tabs on this thread and look for pics after the fun Saturday.

Sorry I can't make this one, and sorry it took so long for me to re-post. I'll try to keep a better watch from now on.

Well heck. It's named after you and everything!

Feel free to get your own thing going. When you have free time and want to go shooting, just post up here to see if anyone will join you.

Would love to be there, but I have to be in Bristow working an NRA Day event.
