<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Scottx88</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Quantico, When are you coming? </div></div>
Late May until August. I heard about Quantico, but I'll need to go with a member (hopefully some of you guys).
I wasn't planning on bringing too many rifles until I realized there are a ton of 'Hide members out there and so now I'm planning on bringing a few and hopefully doing some long range shooting out there.

You dont need to be with a member, non members can shoot for $10. But I'm sure we can find a few people to go with you.

Oh, sweet. I thought their rules required that you had to be accompanied by a member. Awesome!

Re: DC area/NoVA people
There's a new range outside just over the border in WVA that supposed to be amazing. I haven't been there yet, but I'll be headed there once my deployment is over. Here's the site: https://peacemakernational.com/

Decent range with friendly folk, only been there once however be prepared as they require that you chrono your rifle on site, have your dope caluculated in MOA, they don't accept mils, and you have to shoot a sub 1 MOA group before they allow you on any of the ranges that are past 100 yards. They then take the serial number of the rifle you're going to be using on that range. I'm hoping they change the serial number requirement in the future, but until they do I'll only be sticking to the 100 yard range.

Re: DC area/NoVA people
Still, those are easy requirements and it will weed out people who don't know how to drive their rifle. I like fewer people at the range when I go. I'm going to give them a try in August and see if that range is worth the drive and cash.

I don't see how having drop in moa as opposed to mils would help with this :-/ Or a serial number being recorded.

So screw it, let's not shoot there. Who wants to shoot elsewhere? I'm down for shooting every single weekend I'm there. My girlfriend approves, too, she just doesn't know it yet.
