In order to increase participation at IWLA shooting matches and to stimulate an interest in marksmanship, a “Competitor’s Cup” was conducted for the 2024 season, which recognized the top shooters for the year. Continuing into 2025 and beyond, the intent is to motivate members to come out and use the facility, potentially add more members, while increasing camaraderie and further developing our shooting skills. Details about the program can be found at here, which list the monthly shooting events for the year, and explains how points are earned.
A tie breaking shootoff was required to finalize the 2024 standings. Online results default to the current year and are updated after a match, but the entire 2024 results are posted online with over 50 competitors coming out to shoot throughout the season.
Congratulations to our 2024 Top Ten Competitors shown below: Nick Roberge - Winner Landon Caley - 2nd Place Brad Hancock - 3rd Place Mike Debey - 4th Place Kohl Hammer - 5th Place Barry Parker - 6th Place Eric Brown - 7th Place Roland Ocampo - 8th Place Sam Blisard - 9th Place (tie) Ed MacBride - 9th Place (tie)
Virginia Junior Marksmanship Program: VJMP is an organization that encourages youth participation in the shooting sports. Members of the team range from 13 to 20 years old. We focus on teaching marksmanship and competing in High Power Rifle competitions, using an AR-15 Match Rifle, that test the skills of competitors on a known distance course of 200, 300 and 600 yards. This is known as shooting Across the Course (XTC). Leonard Hawkins e4hgator[AT]gmail[DOT]com
The rifle range is selling reloadable brass for $3 per pound. Brass is most available in common calibers (.9mm, .45, .223 etc.). Email inquiries about brass availability to rocketmike90[AT]gmail[DOT]com
Ed MacBride has been making updates to the rifle/pistol range. He is planning excavations to improve the berms and range surface. Check the web site and Facebook before coming to the range for closings due to construction or activities.
The pistol range has been extended to 60 yards to accommodate longer range handguns. A right of way for power and access has also been established. Construction of a berm to separate the rifle/pistol ranges is complete. Power has been extended to the range for safety signage (hot and cold ranges signs).

Our Rifle & Pistol Ranges include:

  • A 14 point (12 covered and 2 point uncovered) outdoor 100 yard rifle range
  • A 10 point (8 bench and 2 draw from holster) outdoor 60 yard pistol range

To use the facilities you must be a member or the member's immediate family (member's spouse, dependents under 18 years of age, or grandchildren under 18 years of age). Membership includes use of the facilities for members of your household when accompanied by you.

Members have use of the range facilities during the daylight hours (9:00 am to sunset). Members may bring two guests to the monthly guest shoot (usually the first Sunday of the month). Members only may use the range at any other time.

Guest shoots do not have a guest fee.

Be sure to display your membership card while at the ranges. You cannot shoot without a membership card.

Empty Chamber Indicators (ECIs) are required on the ranges. The Chapter has ECI's at no cost to members. As an alternative you can make a homemade ECI. Simply tape bright duct tape to a long zip tie like a flag, and use that as an ECI. It works great & serves the purpose.

Please reuse the backers if you take them from the range. If you have a source of backers, bring them to the range shed.
Police used brass to keep the range clean for everyone.

If you are showing a gun to someone at the range, do it during a 'HOT' range and at the benches on the firing line.

Guest Shoot at Rifle/Pistol Range:
A limited guest policy has been initiated at the rifle/pistol range to encourage members to bring guests to eventually become new members. On the first Sunday of every month, members can bring up to two guests at no charge to shoot at the range. There are two half day sessions (9 - 12 in the morning or 12:30 - 3:30 in the afternoon). Chapter RSOs will be present on guest days to monitor and control the range.

Chapter RSOs Needed:
The Chapter has approved rules that will allow Chapter RSOs to sign up on the website to bring up to two guests per day as compensation for Chapter RSO volunteer service. This benefit will be for a 3 hour session similar to the regular monthly rifle/pistol guest sessions, but can be performed on any day the range is open. The guest pass hold harmless agreement should be placed in the box under the Caretaker's car port.
In order for Chapter RSOs to be eligible for this benefit they must have a current NRA RSO certification, current IWLA range rules certification, and have performed at least 4 hours of Chapter RSO volunteer service within the previous 12 months.
The RSO vouchers may also be used at the archery range (but not the shotgun range).

No guests are allowed on the ranges except under the conditions mentioned above!
