IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE OF LYNCHBURG RANGE

Post by shootergdv »

Just found this site yesterday ! Really like the Range Report forum idea.

For those looking for a range in Central VA, we are located on 324 acres in Amherst County.
Pistol Range is 50 meters with a covered firing line, wooden benches. Rifle range has berms at 100, 200, and 300, covered line, concrete benches. We host SASS, NRA HP, NRA Bullseye, 300 yd. FClass, and assorted fun matches, all open to the public.

Membership to the local chapter of I WLL is a pre-req for Range membership.

I WLL membership also comes with access to the Trap & Skeet fields, fishing lake, swimming lake, nature trails, Clubhouse and Pavilion use, camping/etc.

Just in case somebody wants one closer:

I am a member of the Prince William chapter, in Bristow. Gun club meeting is tomorrow at noon or 1pm, I forget.

Oh crap, the link to Lynchburg from that site is invalid. Someone should let them know its been changed.

Too bad NRA membership is a requirement. After their support of Tom Perriello and other libs, that organization would be the last one I'd give a dime to.

I agree that their policy of endorsing incumbents who voted correctly on gun issues without considering other "freedom" issues could use tweaking. But you can't change that policy from outside, and they are a one -issue group. NO organization or person I know of is perfect. You're still welcome to any of the matches and the annual Open House w/o joining !
