I've recently bought a few pistols that I've yet to get out and shoot. I've got a new Browning BDA .380, and more recenlty a Colt Mustang .380. My wife just got a Walther P22 complete with laser, that admittedly I think I'm more anxioius to shoot than mine.
I'm in VA, and growing up my Dad, brother and self would just go off down some dirt roads (areas we were familiar with) set up some bottles on a log, or atop a sawdust pile, and target practice. It was on outings like this where I was taught how to handle firearms.
But it seems like nowadays it's not as easy to slide off onto some plot of land, and if you don't belong to a hunting club, or gun club, it's even more difficult to shoot.
From what i've seen so far, short of getting on a 2 year waitlist for membership in a gun club, there's just one public shooting range in the vicinity.
I am in the Richmond VA area. If anyone knows of any options in this area I would love to hear them.
Also, if there are other ways, or websites, where I might find more information on shooting ranges, please let me know.
