My yard is too small and myshooting club has not decided if they will lift their prohibition on crossbows.

There aren't any woods or open fields near enough to you ? At most you need 40 yards . If a club that I'm paying good money to shoot at tried to tell me what weapon to use I'd find another place to shoot , it's none of their business what you choose for a weapon if it's legal for use in your state . Next they'll be telling you what color to paint your house .

No crossbows at Bull Run. Only long bows.

I've only been to the Centreville Isaac Walton a few times and that was a few years ago. I belong to the Manassas/Brentsville club and we have the Prince William Archers at ours. We have a 25 yd. indoor range. I'll check and see if crossbows are allowed if you're interested. It's a 30 min. drive from Fair Oaks.

Coolbrze0,

Where is the Brentsville location and does it have a rifle/pistol range? The Centreville one is on the far side of me and would like to find something closer.
