*Located at: 2126 King William Avenue, West Point, VA 23181
NOTE: For the firing instruction eye protection (safety glasses) and ear protection (ear plugs or ear muffs) are required. Also, each person will need 50 rounds of ammunition for whatever gun he/she plans to use for the practice firing. Please purchase practice quality ammunition. (Wal Mart generally has the best price.) Ammunition is becoming much more difficult to find. I suggest that you start looking and purchase it as soon as possible. If you have questions about what kind of ammunition to shoot, please call Robert Fraser at (804) 512-8485 (cell #) for assistance.
