Silver Eagle Group?
 

Has anybody been to the Silver Eagle Group in Ashburn, and can you tell me anything about their shooting range?

I've heard of it but have never been.

Lets google it.:tup:

Silver Eagle Group Firearms, Martial Arts, Self Defense Training Academy

$25 per hour for one shooter, an additional $15 for up to 2 shooters per lane from what I read.

They are more expensive and no better than BRA from the looks of it.

How much is this other place?

Man, doesnt someone around here have some land, you could just go shoot your weapons on their private property?

$20 at Blue Ridge Arsenal. $10 for each additional shooter up to 4 people per lane.

That sounds like a better deal.:tup:

Blue Ridge is cheaper, and the lanes are only 25 yds long.
NRA in Fairfax is 18/hour; 12 for an extra person, and are 50 yds long.
But I cant find anything on the Silver Eagle lanes,.

NRA is usually hella busy. I've just been going to BRA. Though it sucks being limited to only 25 yards with an AR. :icon17:

BRA sounds like its the place to go.

Thanks for the comment about NRA, and I understand about the 25yd limitation at BRA, - that's why I'm looking for longer.

Dude, I really dont care if its 25 yards, I just wanna fire my new sh*t.. you know, break in my AR and Remington 870..

Silver Eagle Group
 

So I called Silver Eagle Group in Ashburn today (Trooper - that comment was aimed at you - what happenned with PSA?), and asked them about their Range.
Here's what I got:
Range:
• 30 lanes
• two 25 yd ranges; one 50yd range
• (I assume 10 lanes / range?)
Rates:
• 25/hour first person
• + 15/hour each additional person
• Max 3 people / lane
Limitations
• Under 50 caliber
• Shotguns – only slugs
Note: You can “set” a distance for the target on the lane (so they are at least slightly automated)
Membership: $100 + 35/month (month to month after 3 months)
In case anybody else is interested.

Is a membership required to use the lanes or does it just give discounts on the lane fees?

If money grew on trees.. this whole general area is sucha rip-off.

Horray for 25% discount w/ Brownells.com :-p

Ooops I did it again
 

Guess who just added a brand new Beretta M9A1 to his collection......

:happydance:

I want one!

I want TWO...!!!

Nein nein nein!!!

Idpa?
 

Do any of you IDPA? (Internation Defensive Pistol Association)
Do you like it?

I do PIITB










(put it in the butt)

I knew somebody was going to do that; butt I expected it to be Trooper :facepalm:

According to the Urban Dictionary:

So it should have come from Steve :roflpuke2:

Beats paying child support..... :tiphat:

Bam!

Btw, how much was the pistol?

Congrats on the new firearm!

Brand new with 2 Italian magazines, and the barrel lock (MD laws suck), was $600 even :tup:

nice, so is the only difference between this and the 92 the rail system?

Aaahhh good question... this is where it gets cloudy and complicated LOL.

OK the difference between the 92 and the M9 is one is the civilian version (92) and one is the Military version (M9)

The main difference there between the 92 and M9 are the roll markings on the side of the gun.

The 92 says "Read the owners manual" LMAO.

And I beleive the 92 comes with a plastic guide rod, and the M9 has a steel guide rod. (and the rail as you mentioned)

Now the new "M9A1" model, also has a new internal buffer to reduce recoil, and the take-down lever also swings back into place on its own, when you place the slide back on and rack it.

The M9A1 also has the new and improved Italain made magazines that have a better coating to prevent issues with dirt/grit/sand, as experianced during Afghanistan/Iraq.

"Read the owners manual." That's almost as bad as my gf's Ruger LC9.

The ginormous chambered round indicator says, "LOADED WHEN UP." :facepalm:

Thanks Trooper, just from pics there was not much i could tell was different but it sounds like there is actually some pretty nice upgrades

Trooper, when are you gonna go shoot it?

Well I gotta wait the 7 days for the paperwork :eekdance:, so not before next weekend.

wow... lame.

I didnt know that... damn that sucks.

HI Guys,

I know the risks of posting this after knowing how hardcore everone on this thread is but I am hopeful to get very good info...

I have been wanting to get an Airgun pistol, something that I can take to a shooting range once in a while to get started, I have been very fond of guns since childhood, used to have an airgun rifle when I was a kid.

So far I have looked at a few different brands... crossman / daisy etc.

I am wanting to get one that has:
- atleast 400 + FPS
- semi automatic
- full metal, and
something that can shoot copper pellets or copper & plastic BB's ...

Is there one or some that you guys would recommend, I am thinking of spending under 100 for this...

Thanks,
jay

I don't know of any range that will let you shoot an air gun? You could just get a regular gun. :)

but with a regular gun... arent the law's more strict about carrying it (mainly to the range) etc... Also what if a real gun gets stolen? Just seemed easier to have a powerful airgun for "security" and some range time.. however it seems like i might have to first check if there is a range around that will allow using an airgun..
