VA hunting club
Folks I just moved to the Fredericksburg area, and l am looking for a hunting and archery club club to join. Also, is there an archery range around here as well. I stopped in at Gander Mountain, and they said they had a 20 and 30 yard range. I am looking for a range that has a 3d course, as well as a complete sightng range also,

RE: VA hunting club
CFCE..let me be the first to welcome you to the boards!!! ALso let me welcome you to the Fredericksburg area!!!
I live in the Fred. area myself and have all of my life... not sure if it is a good thinkg or not LOL Actually I am pretty happy around here.. just a little too much traffic at times but generally good people.
As far as the club goes there is a group of us on here trying to secure some land to start our own. We had a few leads this year but the fell through for one reason or another. But I spend my free time looking for land and asking to anyone I think might have some useful information.
We are going to try to hit it harder for next year. We have a few more people that are actually helpign looking for land, in the begining it was only myself and one or two others.
Please drop me a email and we will discuss further. I also might have a place I can take you on a hunt I will have to double check though.
[email protected]
thanks
Justin
ps. if you ever go on a hunting trip with Vasavage270 watch out.. he snores loudly!!!! LOL j/k Dave

RE: VA hunting club
Hey CFCE,
Like Eng said, welcome to VA! We have a great bunch of guys here from all over the area. I'm in Richmond and hunt public land, WMA's, state forests, etc... and have been joining in the search for a piece of land to form a hunt club. So far, the areas surrounding Richmond are spoken for and have been in existence since probably 1872! Hunt clubs of that nature are not taking members, as (so I heard) they are mostly immediate family members and kinfolk and/or a brother of an in-law, or .....whatever.
Translation: you/me/everyone else ain't gettin' in.
What we need to do is establish a range. Like, get everyone together somehow and see who lives where and just exactly how far they would travel to be able to hunt in a club. With me being in the Richmond area, I'd like to stay somewhere in the central area (Fredericksburg/Richmond/Charlottesville/Farmville).
Again, welcome to VA and the hunting.net board! [8D]
Butch A.
P.S.... Sorry, you also asked about an archery club. I have surfed the web and seen a few traditional archery clubs and IBO 3D archery clubs in Virginia. I'll try to get you a link....

I've had the pleasure to hunt with Eng, we had a blast, still waiting on butch and my directive to him..lmao....but in any case CFCE if we can assist please do not hesitate to contact either one of us.
It's SMOKE POLE SEASON!! guess I'll be hitting culpepper a small piece of property a friend owns I normally hunt as last resort.

RE: VA hunting club
Dave,
I thought you fell into a black hole or something... I had tried calling you cell a few times but to no avail... glad to see you alive and kicking....
I will let you know by monday as far as the 20th... I would love to go but thats my weekend with my kids. SO let me see if I can do some re-arranging and work it out.
If you off this week thats great... just so happens I might have some time off as well. Maybe we can hook up and get some meat on the ground!!
I will give you a call this weekend... I plan on being in the woods this afternoon if I get some things finished up this morning...

RE: VA hunting club
Thanks guys for the warm invite. I would very much like to assist you in helping to secure land. So please feel free to email me, and tell me what I can do to help. Also, maybe someone can point me in the direction of a bowshop and range in the area. I really do not want to drive up to Manassas if I do not have to. I like B&D, but it is a drive and 95 on the weekend is brutal.

RE: VA hunting club
I'd stay away from B&D. Very expensive and they seem to rush people in and out of the shop.
I live about 20 min from F'Burg in Orange County. I hunt a 50 acre plot here in orange that borders several hundred acres and another small 15 acre plot that borders the battlefield. I haven't hunted here but twice this year...I have been spending time hunting in Fairfax/Loundon county. Deer are thick up there.
I too, would like to help and get on the bandwagon in the search of land to hunt. I'll be losing the 50 acre plot here this year due to houses being built. Let me know how I can help.

RE: VA hunting club
ive had nothing but good experiences from this place. oh, btw, its b & b archery. they know how to tune bows. as for their prices, they cant buy archery products at the same cost, as say wal mart or dicks. they are running a business there so they have to charge for their time. if you want to buy a pack of muzzy's, then just go to wal mart. if you want your bow tuned or briken down on a press, then i would go to b & B.
