Richmond's newest shooting range and gun shop. Pretty nice setup. It was a furniture store and these folks have done some extensive remodeling.

Re: What to do with an old furniture store
Sounds like a nice place Bob. I used to belong to one up in Midland. but sadly it had to close to lack of income to keep it running. It was great, nice shop, locker room, meeting room and viewing area of the range, with big window so people and the range officer could watch the shooters. Range had an air lock and was well ventilated, never could see any smoke in the air.greener wrote:Richmond's newest shooting range and gun shop. Pretty nice setup.

Had a 10 lane and a 4 lane bay separated by a wall with a door in it. Range was 25 yards, capable of 50BMG with programmable automated target caarriers. But adly it closed and IO had to shoot out doors.

You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.
Looks like a very nice facility. It's got some stiff membership fees. I'm sure they've investigated their membership price points and believe there's enough interest to support an investment like that one in the greater Richmond area. Twenty-five hundred buy-in and twenty-four hundred per year is a pretty steep investment for a membership to a gun club/range. I could get the M/LE rate, which seems the most reasonable fee rate to me.

It's nice but not that nice (price). I suspect Bullseye is correct and they will use the non-membership range. The indoor range I'm a member of is only $75/yr with a $7.50/day range fee. Which is very reasonably priced. It does have a nice gun store and retail to go along with it. No Gunsmith though.
They may be pricing their selves out of range for most. I wish them luck we do need more places to shoot.

If that was near me, I couldn't do that cost. I'm still happy with my Forest Service range. An hour round-trip, but that's only about two gallons with my car. Add ammo and nibbles, about thirty bucks total cost, and I usually stay about three hours. Same visit at Colonial Shooting Academy would set me back a C-note if they were next door. I wish them luck.
