Izaak Walton League

[re8609]

Hello,

Looking for any information on the local Fredericksburg-Rappahannock Chapter, I cannot find any website but they are located at 12400 Herndon Rd in Spotsylvania.

I thought about attending their next meeting but wanted some insight on the place.

Thanks, Rich

Meetings are first Thursday of month. I joined a few months ago. Have only used the pistol ranges (the reason I joined). I'm there weekly always have had the range to myself, both during the week and weekends. Rifle range usually occupied. I take my own target stands, they just provide a rope to hang stuff from. The two pistol ranges are 25 yds. You can shoot closer by moving up, targets must be against the berm. Folks are friendly. Only complaint is it seems the other members are lax about picking up their trash and brass.

They're just thinking of their fellow members who are reloaders is all.
I've been wanting to get into reloading, this could help keep down the start up cost.

I need to look more into this league.

Do you need a sponsor to join?

When is the next Dog Mart?

[NewColonial]

You can just show up and someone will sponsor. That's what I did. Not sure about DM

can't say enough good things about the IWLA in Loudoun...
great outdoor range and also often the only one there...

but will also haev to agree, members seem to be pretty lax on the brass pick up...i was taught growing up that the shooting ain't over until the all brass is in the can...period.

but it does give me a easy way to do my 9 hours of community service fior the IWLA per year...iron raking spent shells into apile...its almost therapy
