Range Status
The range is always closed during the two weeks of rifle hunting season in November and no shooting is allowed during this time with range maintenance functions only. This is a courtesy to all of our land neighbors in the area. However, members can use the range on Sundays during this time. More information, about the Virginia hunting season may be found by going to the following link: Virginia Department of Game and Fisheries.
Please be aware too, that hunting and trapping is not allowed on Ridge Rifle property by anyone at any time with the exception of groundhog removal, to prevent holes in the range. It has been observed in recent years that normal game patterns have been affected by the range, as local wildlife has adapted to living on our property as a refuge 'free-zone'. Game animals of all types have been seen on the range by various members throughout the year, while the firing line is active.
