Richmond Rod & Gun Club

Came here as a first-time shooter and felt SO welcome. Mike hooked me up with John who made sure I was loading and holding my Glock properly and he would circle back around at intervals to check-in on me and add a few more pointers. He instructed me so well that I managed to hit a bull's-eye by my 30th round! There were 2 other Range Officers whose names I didn't catch who took really great care of me too. Coming back again as soon as I can find myself some more 9mm ammo! Misc note: I came on Easter Sunday and it seemed to be at about 60-75% capacity

This is specifically regarding the pistol & rifle range. They started requiring custom targets to not exceed the 7 point ring, even if you don’t plan to shoot outside of the area at all. One time I brought some paper targets and I tried using some tape to tape my paper targets to the large paper target. Doesn’t work because all the tape needs to stay inside the 7 point ring. Other times I wanted to use my sticky zeroing targets that have 5 bullseyes, I had to tear off everything except the center one just to fit inside the 7 point ring. Very inefficient if you want to practice with multiple bullseyes. Most flexible way is to use the small bullseyes stickers and pack them tightly inside the ring. Then you end up with the problem of not being able to tell your groups apart.

Always a good time, this place is really well run. Range officers have a great balance, really enforce the rules but in a super supportive way. It's a great environment for a beginner, firm but supportive guidance really reinforces good gun handling habits.

RRGC has a great 8 bay action pistol range and has quite a lot of different clubs. Nice place, but it might get really crowded during the matches.

Not too many gun clubs open these days. Richmond offers a club house with fireside room, kitchen with large dining hall, amazing bar with cheap fresh draft beer and now the shooting part 200 yard rifle line, 50-100 yard rifle line. 25 yard pistol line. Action pistol courses, skeet trap and military / law enforcement training. Open to public.
