Their rep hit me up right away here on Yelp, and I made the drive a few days later to look into a Cerakote finish for my latest handgun conquest. Pricey for sure but my word does it look like a brand new firearm. I'm taking my wife's P22 there soon to get some fun color but the regular gunmetal finish I got for this Colt really is impressive. Cool little shop too, and I tbh I did enjoy some of the responses from the owner to a handful of digs on this platform too haha. More SBO should be this genuinely engaged. Nice work fellas thanks again.

As someone who moved from the Eastern Shore to NoVA, one of my biggest priorities was looking for…read moreplaces to shoot. As an avid clay target shooter, finding a place to go (besides my gun club) was important, since my club doesn't have a Sporting Clays facility. A few people told me about Bull Run, and I visited for the first time back in October. I was impressed with the facilities. The county government runs the spot, and it is nice and clean! Pricing is fair. If you don't have a gun, you can rent one for an additional fee. If you need shells or bring shells that violate the rules of the range, there are boxes of shells you can buy on the premises. The one drawback I personally had thag doesn't directly affect me is if you bring someone who's never shot before, they will be required to do a mandatory safety course. The course isn't terrible, and my friend who has to do the safety course said it was very insightful. But if you don't have to do the course, but a friend does, you're gonna be waiting a hot minute before you guys can shoot together. Nevertheless, as someone certified as both a shotgun firearms instructor and an RSO, I value their commitment to ensuring everyone at Bull Run is safe.

It's close to my home (30 mins which isn't bad when you're in DC Metro region). 2. The facilities were incredible -- multiple archery ranges, a air pistol and rifle range that has produced a few Olympic athletes and often used hu the local schools air gun teams, a catch and release pond for fishing, campgrounds often used by the Boy Scouts in addition to members, a rifle and pistol range, and my personal fav and the one I use often (besides the archery range) is the trap/skeet fields. 3. This chapter is very involved with the community. From the aforementioned youth groups like Boy Scouts and HS air gun teams often partnering to use the facilities, to the wide array of educational courses offered throughout the year. They also hold other events like an annual picnic for people with disabilities, partnering with Fairfax County as a one location to do your archery test for the Fairfax County Parks & Rec Deer Archery Program, sanctioned ATA, NSSA, and USA Archery tournaments, and NRA Women on Target. When you join it'll be expensive as you pay the annual dues + the initiation fee. But as long as you keep up to date on the annual dues you won't have the pay the initiation fee again. You don't get your full range badge, which allows you to bring guests with you, until you complete your 6hrs of volunteer work. It's not hard and there's plenty of volunteer ops you can sign up for online. I was able to knock my 6hrs out pretty quickly. And if you do an additional several hours of work after getting full range privileges, you'll be able to get a discount on your annual dues next year. I've been to all but the air gun ranges and each facility is lovely. Everyone that is a regular is also nice so just come in with the right attitude and you'll have a fun time.

The rifle/pistol and skeet and trap facilities are very useable. The indoor air rifle/pistol facility has hosted several international matches and produced one Olympic Gold medal shooter and one other member of the Olympic team. It is the local site for the area high school teams. I shoot once a week and serve as a RSO once a month at the rifle/pistol range. The controlled rifle/pistol range might be a different environment for shooters who have frequented public ranges that have few safety controls and rules, but IWLA a much safer environment than I have ever encountered on public ranges in the area. My wife and grandkids were always welcome and enjoyed their time at the rifle/pistol range.

Especially Richard was very nice and would kindly tell me where I was going wrong, and always encourage me enthusiastically when I did something right. Mo was a bit tougher on us when we made mistakes, but I appreciated how she at least usually lightened the moment with a joke afterward. Things move quickly and I think this course would be intimidating to take alone which is why I'm glad I didn't. I learned a lot and the instructors were very helpful. I think the stats alone are reason enough to take a course if you plan on riding a motorcycle (through Virginia DMV site, 76% of riders involved in a motorcycle crash had not completed a training course).
