The Northern Virginia Gun Club (NVGC) will have its annual Club Picnic / Swap Meet / Bring-A-Friend(s) Day on Saturday, September 10, 2011, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Members who have friends, neighbors, family, or coworkers who are looking for a place to shoot should have them come by and meet other shooters, sight in their rifles, or just get a chance to shoot and have lunch on us. The Rifle/Pistol, Skeet/Trap, and Archery ranges will be open for prospective members to use, and membership info packets will be available. (Per club policy, any prospective member must be sponsored by a current club member). So bring your guns and/or bows and come hungry!
