We are on…read morevacation and my sister had no handgun experience so we were just looking to shoot some since we don't have a range back home. Asked about renting weapons and he immediately said "I can't rent to you," which kind of took us aback. We asked why - he said he doesn't rent to anyone under 21 - but he didn't even ask how old we were. Once I tried to explain I was over 21, he said it didn't matter because they don't rent weapons except to take a class (it's 3 hours and $75). I looked on some gun forums before going here but evidently they were a bit dated because this range NO longer rents weapons. This was a last minute side-trip for us or otherwise we would've brought our own. (I'll also mention that they don't allow anything that fires over 2k fps nor do they allow 5-7's in case anyone is interested). My dad chatted him up and the guy seemed to back down a little once he realized my father knew a bit about weapons - but he never once tried to speak to my sister or me or even make eye contact. Gun safety is no joke - but you shouldn't treat every stranger that comes into your facility like a felon or incompetent yuppie - and based on the fact that he never acknowledged me/my sister, I'd saying being female won't win you any brownie points. Other than the staff - the facility seems a bit dated (it's 26 years old) but sufficient. You MUST purchase your targets there - they have a decent selection and the prices are really reasonable. Some ammo is available for purchase but they are feeling the current shortage just like everyone else and had a limited amount. They also have earplugs and eyewear for purchase; nothing is included in the range fee other than the range, so bring your own everything.

Apparently thats how they cover costs at the range according to the guy who told me i couldnt pick up my own casings. Not sure what they do with the money i paid to use the facility.

The owner and his impeccably-mannered son made the experience, though. The safety briefing and vigilance by the range made me feel safe, which cannot be said of many of the other ranges in Virginia. Note that the instructions might seem excessive, but that's what it takes to keep people safe. I strongly recommend Quail Ridge.

Shout out to Robert the RSO for coming by and chatting, and giving me tips on how to zero my rifle. Didn't catch the name of the guy at the counter, but he was great too. Me and my wife went for the non-member, hourly rate. We probably spent about 3 hours there ($45/hour, per person), but he ended up only charging me for the time, and said my wife didn't have to pay "since she didn't shoot too much" (although she definitely did). Ranges were at 15 yards, 50 yards, 100 yards, and 300 yards (members only for the 300 range). Site had restrooms and water. Don't see how anyone could have a bad time here. RSOs were extremely chill and were always respectful (unlike RSOs at other ranges I've been to). Ranges were very cooperative, unlike anything I've seen at other places. Patrons are largely in control of going hot and cold, as long as every just gives the thumbs up, they're not timed or anything. Will definitely return, and probably look to become a member. They offer veteran discounts on membership too.

We finally paid a visit to Snowshoe's Sporting Clays range after frequenting the sprawling resort…read morefor almost twenty years. It was both a fun and pleasant experience and we decided to do it again in the future, perhaps next year. Snowshoe Sporting Clays is located almost halfway between Silver Creek and the Snowshoe Lake, down a back road that alternates between gravel and pavement. The best way to get there is by the free Snowshoe Shuttle that is on call to drive customers there. Before going there, however, one has to have paid tickets that can be obtained at the Depot or by calling the Snowshoe reservation line. There are several variants to suit customers of every level of dexterity and time allowed, from static 25 targets at $29.00 to a mobile course of 50 targets costing $54.00. The range masters are totally professionally trained and take their time explaining both the shot gun course and best of all, safety. Myself coming from both a military and a Homeland Security background, it is a pleasure watching the range masters at work. The course is fairly small, as well kept as it could be, although the management neglect of the previous Snowshoe CEO (now hopefully exiled to some ski Gulag) is visible and extends throughout the entire resort, including the Sporting Clays. Overgrown bushes and poorly maintained buildings greet the visitor. Hopefully the new management will spend a modicum of resources to keep this as a wonderful experience to the visitor. The Sporting Clays is open from early May to early October, providing for a fairly long shooting season. After about twenty minutes of safety and instructions, we were ushered to the static stand for a five-shot practice before the launchers were activated. We did both the static launchers, which come from different angles and positions, as well as part of the woods course. To say it was fun is a gross understatement. It was a blast. One of the best things to do at Snowshoe during the summer season, period...

Looking forward to going back to their next event in the Fall and bringing some friends. While there, I looked to see what else was offered. They have various pistol and rifle outdoor ranges, an indoor range, classes for safety and marksmanship as well as various programs for new and entry level shooters of all interests and abilities. Regardless of your experience or ability, they have something for everyone. I am very impressed! If I lived in or around Charlottesville, this would be my club. Highly recommended.

If you are a person who wants a place to do more advanced practice in any shooting sports discipline this is the place to go. They have several rifle ranges from 50-1000 yards. They have a skeet and trap range and a 5 stand coming soon. They have pistol bays for individual and small group practice. A full membership gets you all of this and is a great value. No where else in the area offer this variety at such a great price and I go 1-2 times a week. The employees and RSOs are super friendly and helpful as well. If you want a place to go beyond standing on a line and static shooting this is the best around. They also have some competitions but another nearby range has a lot more especially in pistol disciplines. I would love to see some M1 Garand and military rifle competitions here. It's well set up for that.
