NRA Range

[shadowbody]

Went to go tour the NRA range at lunch today with a friend from work. While I don’t agree 100% with the NRA and their recent activities, DAMN what a nice range. Unfortunately, for this area range options are limited

Well, they've cleared all the debris out of the back of Shooters, and they -say- they're planning to rebuild, but that's all I know (and haven't checked their site/forums lately.)

There's Clark's (or something) out door range down toward Culpeper, and there's some small indoor around Newington; don't know about (and doubt the existence of) one in Alexandria.

The indoor range in Newington is Gilbert's. I've heard it's nice, but that there are mostly Feebies and Secret Service type guys there who can be asshats to new comers, especially women.

There is also the Springfield Armory in Newington, but I don't know if they have a range.

You don't need to be a NRA member to be a member of their range, FWIW....

Really?? You may have just save me hundreds of dollars by switching to Geico!

You no longer need that expensive Italian "frangible" ammo at BRA.

BRA honestly had a really nice setup, air quality and circulation not withstanding. My primary beef with them was they way the staff treated customers. One gentlemen in particular made me show him every mag I had to ensure I was sneaking in my own prohibited ammo, despite me showing him the 10 bricks I intended to shoot off that day, and promising him that all my mags were empty.

It was the last time I stepped foot on the site, and while the restriction on the rounds has been lifted, the customer service and customer interaction is my main objection to BRA.
