I'm down in Farnham, Va. It's about 2 1/2 hrs from either Bull Run or Fairfax.
Some of you guys may have gone fishin down this way before, but it might be a little far to go shoot, if you've already got a place.
But, you decide. Here's a link to the Yahoo map:
Farnham
I shoot within a 1/4 mile of where it says "Farnham" on the map. Here's the email I've been replying to people with, it describes my range pretty well:
"You know where Warsaw is? I shoot about 10 miles SE of Warsaw, in Farnham. Just in case my post at TFL gave the wrong impression, I want to make sure you understand that this is my personal range, not some kind of professional range.
I feel that my range is set up pretty comfortably. I've got a table to shoot from, with a rest for bench-rest style shooting. I keep a rake, axe, and machete back there to keep the brush and leaves down. I've nailed some small-mesh fencing to the right of where we shoot to catch the brass, in case you reload. It never gets muddy back there, and I've gone shooting right after pouring rains before.
I've got rifle/pistol targets set up at 25yds, 75yds, 100yds, 140yds, and 200yds. It's a fairly flat range - about a 4' drop in 130yds. I compensate for the drop by setting my targets higher. I've got some other targets to experiment with that I'm going to set back there too, relating more to rapid fire.
I plan to go back there this weekend with the chainsaw and take care of that 200-yard target I mentioned. I'm also going to clear enough room for my skeet thrower - it'll only be limited to the 40-yards or so of width I have on the range, but I thought it'd be nice to break away from the norm every once in awhile.
Like I said, it's out in the woods, so we have to carry our own drinks and snacks (and perhaps a little toilet paper, if the need should arise
). I personally don't like mixing booze and guns, so try to leave the beer in the cooler until the guns are put away, if you don't mind.
I shoot a couple times a month, and I'm open for almost any weekend. It's always more fun to shoot with someone else; so any time you guys are free, I'm ready. I usually shoot for 4-7 hours at a time, depending on how much fun I'm having and how much ammo I have.
Any questions, just drop me a line. I check my email a couple times a day.
Out of curiousity, what guns do you bring to the party? I've got the following:
Ar-15 SP1
Polish AKM, 7.62x39
Romak 3 sniper rifle, 7.62x54R
L1A1, 308 cal
M1 Carbine
Winchester Mdl 94, 30-30
Browning Hi-Power pistol, 9mm
crappy Firestorm Mini Compact, 45cal
Rem 870, 12ga
Y'all can feel free to shoot whatever I may bring with me.
Catch ya later..."
