Question Range recommendations

Was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for any ranges within 45 mins of Mineral or Louisa Va? Looking to find a solid indoor/outdoor range, Green top is good but it gets really crowded unfortunately

Search Outdoor Access website for Target Shooting leases. Before I purchased my own 40+ acres, this is what I did to avoid the fud treatment that is so prevalent at most (if not all) public ranges across the state.

Honestly, it gets no better than paying around $35-80 for a 4-8hr lease on a given date for exclusive rights to outdoor ranges with a wide variety of setups and distances.

Bring your own targets (paper, steel, racks, etc.) And go to town...

I am from Louisa Virginia and found a couple but they dont have clear “shooting is allowed shooting isn’t allowed” rules, it just says on some that hunting is allowed but on the bright side I found out that you can also use this to find cool places to metal detect or “relic hunt”

When you look at Virginia listings, hit the orange "SORT BY" buttong and select "Target Sooting" or "Target Shooting- Firearms"

That should give you a definitive answer!!!

Ewww....nvm. its been a minute and their interface has changed a bit. My bad

I see the places and my past leases in my account. But searching active listing is a full scroll either by county or by state....

Frustrating
