Northern Virginia Gun Club - King George, VA

[allingeneral]

I went to my first members' meeting at Northern Virginia Gun Club (NVGC) yesterday (governed by Robert's Rules). It was "working party" day (the third Saturday of every month except January) and I mounted some porch lights on the new clubhouse/restroom. There's a porta-potty there now, but in an effort to gain more attendance by people of the fairer sex, a restroom has been built. It should be operational within the next month or so.

After the meeting, I joined up with a couple of guys and shot a round of skeet on the upper range. Each skeet round is $3.00 to cover the cost of the clays which they have stocked in each the upper and lower houses. I only had a box of 25 rounds with me, so even though one of the guys offered to let me shoot one of his boxes of ammo, I thanked him and just sat down to watch the next round.

I have to be "qualified" before I can have access to the skeet houses on my own. I hope to get that done on short order so that I can take a couple of friends down there to enjoy a couple hours of shooting clays with me.

Then, I headed down to the lower pistol range with my new S&W .40 cal. I set up a target on the 25 yard range and shot up 50 rounds there. There is also a 50yd, 100yd and 200 yard range right there, all with benches and covered by a roof.

It's a really nice place. Now that my membership is active, I hope to be spending some quality time there.

Check the link at the end of this post for a membership application if anyone is interested. The cost to join is $100.00 "Initiation fee" plus $90.00 yearly dues. The second year and each subsequent year is $90.00 yearly plus a required purchase of 4 shares of stock at $35.00 each until you have purchased a total of 35 shares over a 9 year period. After that, you pay only $90.00 per year.

The property is a 233 acre parcel in King George County, VA on the corner of Route 218 (Caledon Road) and Indiantown Road. The entrance to the facility is gated and locked on Route 218.

That is practically right in your back yard there isn't it Rick? Tell me, to they allow black powder rifles on the longer ranges?

[allingeneral]

Yes, it's about 8 miles from my house!

I believe that they allow black powder and just about anything else that's not fully automatic on the rifle ranges.

Way to go Rick. I was a member of a club like that over in MD. The only good thing about living there. 5 miles down the road and I had my own key to the range.

Nice, anyone know where the longest range(200+) in NOVA of close? I would love to really love to put my DPMS 308B to the test.

I know this is a old post but i just came across this forum today and i like it and i been trying to talk to someone at Northern Virginia Gun Club without any luck. I live down the street from the club and my wife and i love shooting and would love to join but can’t find anyone to talk to.

Allingeneral has posted a link to the application and I guess I will try calling the number but hope you don’t need a sponsor since I don’t know anyone at the club.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need a sponsor. I am a member. The link to the application is an old version of the application, and it will be removed shortly.

Are you going to Fort Lee on Sunday for the Shoot and Greet? If not, maybe I can take you to NVGC as a guest sometime.

[MrZ]

I am not familiar with Fort Lee, is there a range for the public? I haven't heard of the Shoot and Greet, i just joined couple of days ago. But i might be able to reschedule few things and try to make, it if not a visit to NVGC would be appreciated.

[allingeneral]

Fort Lee is near Richmond/Petersburg. If the rain holds off, I'll be there along with a few other VGOF members...just to meet each other and shoot stuff
