Hi all. I am in Ashburn and shoot at Silver Eagle a few days a week.

I am concentrating on NRA 900 right now, so 25m .22LR Pistol.

I would love to hear about events and training/clinics for Bullseye I need all the help I can get.

Thanks for the update, MC1911. Good news ref. the Sharpshooters upgrade/renovation. The place continues to get better and better.

 

[pturner67]

Am a member at Shooters and have wanted an AR for years looks like time to get one now!!! I never really wanted a .22 AR so I just passed. This is awesome news!!! Only one thing is the place will be a whole lot louder with rifles going off in there.

 

[MC 1911]

Upgrades are looking good & range should be open on schedule!! 30-06 and below will be allowed!!

I'm going to be at the NRA range tomorrow (Sunday) morning with a friend around 10:30 if anyone wants to join me.

 

[pturner67]

I'm gonna be at the gun show in Chantilly Saturday at 11am with a few gun enthusiasts if anyone wants to meet up there.

I'm in Dulles VA. I have visited Silver Eagle once for a look see. Much cleaner than that other nearby range. I hope to shoot a bit at SEG soon to evaluate. I'm also liking their indoor 50 yd for rifle.

 

[pturner67]

Jimbo,

Silver Eagle is very nice...almost like a country club


Take a look at the NRA range in Fairfax. It's 50 yd indoor. It's very clean and they have a big focus on safety.

THNX ! I hear great things about the NRA range......alas......I also hear about the crowds. Will advise about my visit to SEG.

 

[bumnote]

I also hear about the crowds

I've found that once the football games start on Sunday, the crowds aren't as bad. I don't watch sports so I'm not missing anything and can usually get in pretty quick. If the Skins keep losing that might change.

 

[pturner67]

Not if the Skins keep losing; more like when.

Just go early and you can avoid the mad rush.

 

[pturner67]

I will be heading to the NRA range in Fairfax tomorrow morning at 10am with a buddy of mine if anyone wants to meet there.

 

[pturner67]

This weekend, I'm heading to the Dulles Expo Gun Show if anyone wants to meet up. I usually go with a few friends to tool around, people watch, and pick up ammo. And we grab lunch afterwards.

There's a $1 off coupon on the website

If you're interested, let me know and we can make plans to meet up.
