I used to have a Remington 870. Great shotgun for reliability and adaptability. Sold it to a neighbor for their home defense weapon after I got the KelTec KSG tactical shotgun. The KSG gets a lot of attention at the range, especially when I load 15 rounds of 12ga slugs and unload them on the paper. Massive carnage and sounds like it is never going to end.

BTW, I am a member at Silver Eagle Group in Ashburn, VA and shoot there frequently. Great range. 20 lanes of 25yd and 10 lanes of 50 yd. Clean and well ventilated. Shotguns can only fire slugs though. I guess they dont want buck/bird shot bouncing around for some strange reason.

Stay safe!

I'd like to try this place out - any idea on non member pricing for a lane?

It is $25 an hour for the first shooter and $15 for the second and third shooter sharing a lane. Maximum of three shooters per lane. If you arrange to go with a member, then it is $15 for you as a second shooter on the same lane. If they are not busy, members and their guests are allowed liberal clock monitoring. I have spent over 2 hours on a lane and they only charged my guest for 1 hour. Good group of guys and most of them know weapons. They also have handguns (probably over 50) and rifles (10 or so) available to rent for $15 an hour, and you can exchange them for another weapon within that hour for no additional charge. The only stipulation is that you purchase and shoot only their ammo through their guns.

This policy worked great when I was deciding between the Glock 30 and 30SF. I was able to shoot 25 rounds in one, grab the other and shoot 25 rounds through that. I made the decision for the 30, and it only cost me about $35 to figure that out. I was leaning toward the 30SF until I shot them, so if I would have not been able to fire them first, then I might have bought the "wrong" (if there is such a thing

) Glock.

Anyone can PM me if they are interested in meeting out there.

It could be a good opportunity for a MAZOC shooting event for those who might be interested?

I'm game. The Silver Eagle Group range is a short 20-25 minute drive from the FFX meet.

If you have the time, perhaps you could inquire with the range about a group set up?

I'm thinking we could probably get a least a half dozen if not more people to come after a meet one day to spend an hour or so at the range. Heck, I might even be able to get my Wife to shoot!

They will happily rent it out for groups. I can look into the specifics. I know they rent one of the 10 lane ranges. I'm not sure if you can rent the 50yd range or only the 25 yd one. You have to rent the ten lanes and they supply a Range Safety Officer for safety and assistance. I think it may be for $350 for the range and maybe 10 weapons. Ammo for the rental guns must be purchased from there. I will look into it and have information for discussion, if anyone is interested, during the Saturday FFX meet.
