Need a longer range near NOVA

I feel the need to stretch out the legs on my Remington 700. Is there a range near NOVA that's longer than 300 yards that's open to the public?

340 defense in Winchester.

That's it as far as long-range public access anywhere near NoVA.

Someone :whistle: did a pretty good write-up on 340 Defense a few weeks back. Here's the link to the post...

Thanks, I remember that, was hoping for something a little closer to PWC.

Join the quantico shooting club then. $80 a year last I checked, and you can get access to the 1000 yd range 4

I looked into that earlier, they have a ratio of active duty to civilan members. I don't think they have enough active duty guys now to add another civilian, but that was a while ago. I'll try to check it out if/when I get the chance.

1000 yard range available to members at Peacemaker National Training Center. 300 yards open to the general public:

looks like a nice range.

If you only want public access to the 0-300 yard ranges the daily fee isn't bad. But I think the membership fees are a bit steeper than I'd like... me and the wife, $800/year? that seems a bit spendy.

A personal pet-peeve is for membership ranges that ban CCW. I realize its their choice as a property owner, and its also my choice as a customer to not to patronize such a business.
