In talkin to a couple guys yesterday while shooting a round of sporting clays, we were talking/wondering if there are any long range rifle ranges around central Va..open to the public. Thinking about doing a pronghorn hunt and I know I need a little practice out to 200 yards

You talking about a 'real' range with benches and all the bells and whistles ? Or shooting off the hood of a truck ? I'm going to be working on some reloads in a couple of weeks so if shooting off a truck hood will work you can tag along.

300 yard range at Rivana Rifle and Pistol Club in Charlottesville. Could that be what they were talking about?

Dobn't need all the bells and whistles, just a good safe location inwhich I can hold steady and get a bit of practice at targets out to 200 yards and maybe 250. Want to feel comfortable if I need to make a long shot. I've killed ground hogs out that far, but that was with a 22-250 and a long time ago.

What about shooting in the national forest? I just moved here from Colorado, and I shot in the forest at any distance I wanted. I'm worried by the thought that I'll shoot no farther than 100 yards in VA.
