What to do and see in Virginia, United States: The Best Shooting Ranges

November 20, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

A great experience well worth the money! The staff was great: Providing history of the firearms. Solid range safety, and very encouraging/personable. Appreciated the chance experience first hand the weight, firing delay as well as surprising accuracy of these smoothbore firearms.

Colonial Shooting Academy

Colonial Shooting Academy is the Largest indoor shooting range in the United States! We offer THE premier shooting experience in Richmond, VA. Conveniently located on W. Broad Street, we offer a friendly, state of the art shooting facility for all skill levels, from curious beginner to expert marksman. In September 2012, Colonial Shooting Academy was named a 5-star shooting facility by the National Shooting Sports Foundation. This distinction makes CSA the first 5-star range in Virginia, the fourth on the East Coast and one of the only 25 nationwide. As Richmond's premier shooting facility—and the largest of its kind—our goal is to provide a welcoming atmosphere to anyone interested in shooting, whether you've got experience or not. Our first priority is safety. It's our guiding principle. It starts with education, and it ends with careful and precise planning of every detail, from the front desk to each shooting lane.Before you are able to enter the range, you must first complete a brief 10 minute safety video. This course is provided for free to everyone and is valid for one year. The course stresses the safe handling of firearms, and safety practices we require at all times while on the range. Additionally, we require that safety equipment be worn at all times, and that all guns and ammunition brought to the facility meet our specifications before it can enter the range. Upon entering, you will be accompanied to your lane by the range safety officer.

Elite Shooting Sports

Reviewed By griping_professional - London, United Kingdom

My experience with Elite Shooting Sports was all in all pretty great. I was visiting from the UK and went with my partner, a female shooter/virginia native. We hired 2 handguns and had an hour with an instructor. The overall cost for both of us, with ammo and targets, an hour with the instructor and 2 handgun rentals came to I think around 160 dollars, which was entirely worth it. Our instructor (Kevin) was great, with good solid clear beginner's instruction for me, and also instruction for my partner, who has more experience. He was very calm and relaxed, which definitely helps with the nervousness while having your first range experience. He had me shooting pretty good groups in no time. The facilities are modern and clean, and felt safe and well organised. Everything's very regimented and everyone seems to know exactly what they're doing, which again is reassuring. Overall we both had a great time, learned a few things, and we'll be going back!

Arron and Scott were so friendly. Scott helped my girlfriend and I get comfortable with the full auto and Arron helped me get a pair of cool 9mm shell earrings without my girlfriend noticing. Everyone in the shop had a great attitude, always smiling. We came in late in the evening and they were kind enough to hook us up with some extra range time since they weren't super busy. And what a beautiful, clean, well maintained facility. We'll deff be back. Great selection in their shop too!

I have taken many trainings at SEG and have loved every one. You get a professional trainer, world class range and a wonderful experience all rolled into one experience. I recently took their low light shooting class and learned a ton that I can use in my day to day life. I've also taken part in their date night which was a great time. My wife is not into shooting but had a great time. No matter what you choose to do, you're in wonderful hands.
