Yeah this sucks. I'm an annual member and it sucks to find out this way.

Thankfully another range just opened up in Ashburn, not far from Silver Eagle Group, though I guess that doesn't help you based on where you're at. I live pretty close to the NRA range, so I need to scout out XCAL and SEG to see if I want to shoot there vs NRA.

I hate waiting, and I don't like the cramped feel of the NRA range. Ashburn isn't too far of a drive for me, I only live a few minutes from the 66/28 interchange.

The Ashburn ranges are a hike for me, probably an hour+ in average traffic. In the last decade, I've been out that way maybe 5 times, most of those times in the last 6 months. Elite was literally 15 minutes from my house and with my work schedule I could go during their slow times and have no wait and be one of maybe 2-3 others on the range. Gonna miss that.

I still have the IWLA, but it's Fudd central with the typical restrictions, but it'll do for basic sighting in and all.

Spend the weekend in WV and go to Shadow Hawk or Peacemaker.

If I'm going to WV, I'll just go to my buddy's and shoot at his place. He has a 100yd range and no rules.

I had sent an email a day or two ago and just got this response:

Good Afternoon James,

Yes, Elite Shooting Sports will be closing as of May 31, 2023.

Your last payment for the annual monthly contract will be the end of March. You will still hold your annual monthly status until we officially close on May 31, 2023, at no additional fees.

Received an email from Elite Shooting Sports saying that their last open day will be Sunday, April 23, 2023.

This is about a month earlier than I expected.

Got the same, but it went to spam.

I doubt we'll get another similar range in our area with any and all land seemingly going to data centers.

I guess it's IWLA for me for now on.
