Maybe a Saturday at one of the national forest ranges?

Any other ideas for a meeting place?

Depending on the turnout I can talk to the shooting committee at my local private club to see if we could have a closed range/semi private session.

I'm in the area.  Mostly just shoot in my backyard, but might be interested in a shoot at some point.

We just moved in and every weekend has been spent doing housework or travelling.

Any word on this guys? I'd be all over a meetup if we could have one.

Maybe even a meet a a local brewery or something like that. I'd offer some shooting at my personal range, but its under construction and only 25yrds long.

I'm right outside Vinton and I'd be in depending on the date. I've been slammed here lately but looking for that to lighten up soon.

I would enjoy a brewery get together, or dinner. Otherwise maybe a sporting clay / trap shoot at Summit Springs in Ferrum?

CtSmshr is on the shooting committee at our range. There's a club shoot tomorrow evening and I'm sure he'll plant a seed with the pres or at least someone who can make it happen.

I'm a long time member of RRRC, as well as a current board member and one of the membership committee chairs.
I would be happy to take a prospective member on a tour of our facilities and answer any questions you might have. Applications are on site and once filled out I can add you to our monthly membership committee session.
If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.

Please note, our facility is private and gated. While most weekend matches are open to the public, non members are only allowed to shoot the match unless accompanied by a member in good standing. We have Range Monitors, as well as surveillance in place to discourage trespassing,. Violators will be locked in until the Sheriff arrives, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I'm not sure where you're going with this, but why not tell everyone about the 10mph speed limit too? The rules you've explained are discussed during the shooters meeting before every match so let's keep this on topic please.

This doesn't quite fit into the spirit of the thread now does it?

I've seen this attitude before at RRRC (unless you're a cowboy shooter of course).
I shot IDPA for a few years up there(as a member) and never saw much support from the range,even though it brought in more shooters than anything else.
That's why I let my membership expire.

Okay, off the soap box. I live right here in town and would love a meet up.

It was back in 2009.  I think the link to it is in the Important Threads at the top of the VAHTF group. I started it and I failed to keep it going.    Life and stuff.

Are you a member at Shawnee or IWLA?

How about just meeting up at the Potts slope shooting range one Saturday? If we had someone willing to take us to their membership range thats cool, but not necessary.

I'd also say that if we cant all meet up to shoot, lets meet at a local brewery or something like that.

No offense meant to anyone fellas. I have taken several of the members from this forum out for a range trip and was simply offering to do it for anyone else who might be interested, since you guys were discussing a get together. As far as the last paragraph, we have stepped up security over the course of the past year and I was merely trying to help any potential visitors avoid any misunderstandings.
Happy shooting to all!

Luvthemtorts has taken the time to invite me to and show me around the RRRC for an afternoon of shooting, and could not have been more courteous and friendly. Gave me plenty of time to get my rifle sighted in and I had a great time there. It truly is a fantastic range with lots of options for all shooters. I would be a member if I had more time to shoot to make it worth it.

I'd be down for a meet up or for some range time somewhere. I work most weekends, but can make arrangements to be off with some advance notice. Sounds like a hell of a good time.

When I read your post I was thinking this has to be a mistake (since you edited your post to add that snippet) or at least it's coming off the wrong way. To me it sounded like, "don't go unless you are a member or a guest of a member or you'll be videotaped, locked in, and arrested." I've never had an issue while attending the public shoots and the staff do remind everyone that a public shoot day does not equal a free pass day. I think everyone here knows RRRC is a private club and your comment simply came off wrong.

Mid Hudson Valley.  A beautiful area but when all is said and done I am so glad to be out of New York.

So where is a good place to get transfers done?  Seems like everyone wants $50 and/or wont do them on new guns.  Also is there a list of local smiths anywhere?  

Thanks!  See y'all at the range.
