And I’m a graduate of ODU... Loved Virginia Beach!

Don’t worry about Northern Virginia - we have the Isaac Walton Club, the Fairfax Rod & Gun Club and if you don’t want to wait to join those fine shooting ranges, The Quantico Shooting Club welcomes everyone - and we have a 1,000 meter range!

Semper Fi,

1,000 meters is way out there for an old Vietnam type. I went to the range at Fort Campbell with a retired SF MSG. He had one of those Quigley down under rifles. That Shiloh Sharps in 45-110 was surprising to me as was his sniper training. I mention his sniper training as SF did not have that in 67-75. He explained all the updates in training to me. He was firing past 1,000 meters. I could not see very well as my glasses were not up to date. 400 meters was further then I ever shot in war. 100-200 was max.
