they had a rep at the Hampton gun Show this weekend. I was a little disappointed to find out it was only going to be 25yrd range. I hoped, as big as that building is on witchduck and VaBCH blvd, they might be able to make it 100yds.

I can't complain, C2 is too far for me from Suffolk and I haven't really heard or seen of any other ranges that piqued my interest. I'll definitely give them a try when they open.

It would be great to have a range closer to Williamsburg.

Y'all won't be disappointed. CSA is a great place to shoot. Their facilities and staff are top notch. But, remember to bring your own ammo. I didn't bring enough today and ended up paying $29 for a box of .38

Any idea if they're open yet? I'd check myself, but I'm a little far away right now (8 time zones). Would like SWMBO to drive by to check it out, because in the end, she has to be comfortable there as well.

This range is wicked! Pretty good gun selection, 4 ranges with 8-10 lanes each. Awesome staff and sweet guns to rent. If you purchase a firearm from them, they give you a free hour of range time. Pretty sweet deal

Good to see another range opening. I just joined the Lafayette Gun Club in Yorktown.

Not much in the way of published rules. What I've seen in the past there:

- Rent gun --> buy range ammo (pretty standard everywhere)
- Target at max range
- Short bursts

Climate controlled ranges rock!
