Oh and about the range, I didn't really talk to the employees but they seemed friendly enough, the range itself is obviously not as high-dollar as the NRA range but it was much less crowded, and the fact that they have separate ranges for pistols & rifles is a big plus. Blue Ridge also seemed to...

Met up with Chasbo00 for a lesson at Blue Ridge today and I am blown away by how helpful it was! When I first when to the range with my new gun I attributed my poor performance to nerves and trying to get used to a new gun. The first thing we did when we got into the firing range was use a laser pra...

I don't want to sound arrogant but I feel like $200 of ammo would do more for me than $200 on a class + ammo. . Wrong plan. A good instructor (and I said "good") can diagnose your problem inside of 10 minutes. You can blow $200 worth of ammo, and shoot poorly. You can go back next month a...

I'm writing it off to still getting use to the new gun and handgun use in general. If I hit paper I feel I am doing okay. being in the range with people shooting all around you can get your blood pumping a bit. I feel that as I become more relaxed in the environment that my pulse and breathing will...

The good news is that's easy to fix. Money is really tight at the moment so I'm not sure I can afford classes for a while... I don't want to sound arrogant but I feel like $200 of ammo would do more for me than $200 on a class + ammo. I know the usual advice is breathing, grip, trigger pull I guess...

No patterns because my accuracy is completely random

Oh yeah, were any of you there today? Didn't spend time talking to anyone just wanted to get in there and do my thing and get out but you might have seen a youngster in a Navy shirt and jeans with a Glock

So I took my new Glock to the NRA range for the first time, just got back. It was great! They make you take a short safety test which is basically reading the answers off a sheet and marking them down, took me about 5 minutes. The cute young girl at the desk was very nice and helped me get everythin...

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback. My last question is what kind of range ammo they have and if it's fairly priced. My 50 rounds of PMC Bronze is going to be gone in a matter of minutes so I'll need to get some more either before I go or while I'm there.

Do Blue Ridge & NRA ranges allow rapid fire or holster draws? Also wondering if either has shoot & scoot areas, and if there is an additional cost to use them. I'd just be happy to shoot without driving an hour+ away but it would be nice to practice these things. The other places I've shot a...

Actually I'm on the VRE watching all those stuck in traffic... I've only been to the NRA range and have been very happy with it. The staff there says the crowds have definitely dropped off now that the warmer weather is here. Best times are in the mornings to avoid a wait. I was going to go there t...

So true!

Finally after a long internal struggle of whether or not I should spend the money, if I need one, or even want one, yesterday I bought my first gun! I have been shooting many times since I was very young and was fascinated with firearms. Well, I finally decided it was worth the money for the comfort...
