In NoVA myself. There are some firearms ranges near us. Some of them are pretty busy. The only thing I've been able to "shoot" outdoors, not at a range, is my bow. I'm not too keen on shooting the airguns at the range, so always looking  for better places to shoot myself...

I'm afraid there Is a shortage of ranges in VA your best bet Is see if you can get a permission on some body land who would let you shoot / hunt . I have a 50 yard rang in my back yard so not to bad for me .

Good luck with finding some thing .  ;)

Hey fellow NoVa shooters!  I've been getting my 88 CF tank filled at Nautilus scuba but the $18/fill is getting a bit much since they only fill to ~4000psi.
Besides there and PEV's Paintaball in Aldie ($5/fill but farther out), anybody have any other places to get a tank filled in NoVa (Loudoun or Fairfax Counties)??
Thanks,
Tim

PEVs is good. There is a SCUBA place off Sudley Road in Loudoun going North away from  Manassas, about 10 minutes from the intersection on Gum Spring - but that might be too far out for you.

Where do you go to shoot in that area?

Thanks wonk.  I will probably go out to PEVs this weekend for a fill up.  I shoot on some property where I bow hunt in Great Falls and also out in Bluemont.  No real range set up, just pull up a chair and set out some targets.

Hey guys I can host a shooting range at my home in mount Jackson I commute daily to nova to work also looking for other airgun hunters to join a group/association for Va airgun hunters as I've been in contact with Vadnr about expanding the legal airgun use into the black powder seasons which will add 4 more weeks of hunting with airguns so if interested in any of this please contact me thanks!!

Hello,

I'm in Spotsy, just a little SW of Fredericksburg.  Just getting into PCP and need a source for air.

I'm looking into the Carette compressor and tanks at Joe B's.  What's everyone else using for an air source?

We are all so close, we should definitely try and set up a shoot or something.

Hi Rich, I'm out by the lake not to far from you. Give a holler if you're looking to shoot.

I'm using a Shoebox Freedom 8 and an older tank(09) that I picked up on Ebay that was never put into service. The Shoebox has 200 hours on it and I haven't needed to service it yet.

Dear Mike,
Can I take you up on this offer? I'm in Arlington, I'd love to get my tank filled. Can I come over next Wed or Thu (May 12 or 13)? I could not find Bauer oceanus in Upper Marlboro.

Fellow NOVA guy here, Loudoun County. I saw this post, and didn't realize how many of us there are up here. Cheers, and great places to shoot out in Western Loudoun; I normally go out to family property, but there are plenty of other places, and, definitely good people out there, who would probably be happy to have a few people on their property plinking (depending on where, the "knock and politely ask permission" strategy works well, in my experience. I second, whoever said way earlier in this thread, about people getting together to have a little shoot/meet up thing, or, third/fourth/etc, in case everyone else beat me to loving that idea. If anyone wants to message me on here, feel free, as it'd be awesome to get together with someone else. This area really has made it hard to avoid just going to a range, especially the further east you go. Right now, I live about as far east as you can go, and my apartment complex probably isn't keen on me plinking here haha. Definitely might be able to arrange something, would have to be limited, but, it's just a matter of making sure my family is okay with whatever the plans would be. Hope to hear back from someone local soon haha, and happy shooting.

- Tyler

Hey guys we have been meeting once a month at an indoor range in Luray Virginia
It’s a 50 yard range with 18 concrete shooting benches the maximum  caliber allowed with an airgun is 30 cal. We took a break for November and December because many of the guys in our group hunt and due to the Christmas holidays. We normally shoot from 3-4 hours on mid day Saturdays. So it makes it worth the drive for the guys/ gals who have a long drive. ( we have folks coming from as far as PA and NC We usually get 15-20 or more attendees per shoot. We provide 50 yard official airgun benchrest targets and the last hour or so we do some competitive $5 buy in winner takes all shoots

We are starting back up this month I’ll post the next shoots date and address soon in the   Virginia gate please comment if your interested in coming to join us $10 per shooter is required $5 to the range owner and $5 to our club to cover supplies, targets etc…,,
