RE: A new hunter/Shooter needing advice..
GREENTOP!! I used to buy stuff there in 1972 when I was stationed at Ft. Lee! Of all states east of the Missisippi, VA is by far the best!!
I used to hunt deer and turkey in the National Forests around Staunton (with a rifle) and at Camp Pickett (Fort Pickett??) and Ft. A.P. Hill with the shotgun!
