Izaak Walton off Bristow, PWC
Looking for a good place to shot and if the membership price is still the same as the it says on the site, it's a really good deal. Are there any members that would be willing to give me the .02 tour?

RE: Izaak Walton off Bristow, PWC
I was a member there for 15 years until a couple years ago. When I left, I think membership was $140. It's a good setup. Only reason I quit is we own a farm a few miles from there and I didn't use the PWIWLA facilities much, and the ranges werent to my liking. I did however use the boat ramp access into Broad Run. They have an indoor "underground" rifle/pistol range (25 yds.) The outdoor range was closed maybe 3 years ago b/c of houses in the area. There is also an indoor 25 yd. archery range and a LOT of nice 3D outdoor archery targets set up around the property. If you have any more ques. e-mail me at [email protected] - Steve

The family was a member there when I was a kid. Great place. Unless things have changed, reasons are: No night shooting, hit or miss if there was a RO there to open the range during the week. I know shoot on the weekends and all is solved. The wife on the other hand sees it differently.
Thanks Cool. At this point I would just like a tour to see if it better then going over to Shooter's on RT1. Their prices just went through the roof.

If you are interested, call either Bobby at B&B Archery (703) 335-6320 in Manassas and tell them Steve Boardman sent you. They can either give you a tour or put you in contact w/ Jerry Norris who can give you the 411.

Thank Cool. I meet up with Bobby Saturday afternoon, was in the area. He got me the info and told me the place would be open that night cause of a shoot and to drop by. I did and was very impressed. I'm getting the money together now.
