New Range in Richmond
New Range in Richmond
Be on the lookout for a new range to be opening up on Broad Street (near horsepen) sometime within the next year. This will be a LARGE range, complete with a "tactical range" in the basement. Pretty stoked about this news.
No, I can not say where I heard about this.

I'll believe it when I see it.
Henrico's Board of Supervisors allowing a public range in their county? Preposterous.

It is fact that this range is opening in the west end of Richmond. I personally spoke to the owner. Super nice guy. From what he told me, it sounds like Dominion better upgrade their facilities or they're probably going to close within a few years. This facility will be all state of the art. I'm imagining something like the NRA range in NOVA but better.

Re: New Range in Richmond
That would be great. Dominion is pretty "old time" but it still works. Blackcreek is still an option and I am a member there. But a new modern facility would really be great.

Re: New Range in Richmond
Any insight as to if the range will be members only?

Re: New Range in Richmond
It will be both members and public. Largest in the nation. Here's a link to a video about it.

Re: New Range in Richmond
Wow. I figured this would've garnered a little more interest.
