Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
Bull Run Shooting Center offers 5 different shotgun games that are fun and exciting for new or experienced shooters of all ages. Our Learn-To-Shoot class, required for new shooters, is affordable and fun. Certified instructors are available for experienced shooters who want to improve their scores. The shooting center is open year-round and features a pro-shop for shotgun reloading supplies, ammunition and more. Rental guns are available.
I have two shotguns, one's an over-under (I can't recall the model), the other is a double-barrel 1889 Remington. I'd love to try them out for once. I need some bp ammo for the latter though.

Maybe it's because I went there so much when I was young but I like Clark Bros. in Warrenton - you have to buy ammo and clays from them though. I don't mind because the prices aren't bad.

We forgive you. I'm sure you were in shock that people actually replied to a thread with some useful information on Fairfax Underground.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or if you are one of those dumb liberal soccer moms...

There are plenty of libs that have no problems with guns.
hey all, since we're on the subject what's a good shotgun for home defense around $500? I keep hearing conflicting answers on brands. Already have a sig sauer p220 carry so I know how to shoot....

I got a nice H&R Pardner Protector witha 18.5" barrel from Dick's in Fair Lakes for only $179. I love it.

They're reliable, but they aren't made to last very long. After about 10k rounds, you need to start looking for a new shotgun.

$500 can get you a lot since a Mossberg 500 starts around $250 and a Remington 870 starts around $300. Benelli makes a really high quality pump starting around $350-$400.

I'd say all those are fine for the job and I'd throw in the Winchester
1500. You can find all sorts of after-market accessories for them and
finding a gunsmith to work on them is no problem. I once read an article
that offered some good advice. Don't use an expensive collectors item for
a home defense gun. If you should happen to use it, the cops will still
take it in as evidence and it might be a while before you get it back.

Yes, this. I bought a nice, used Mossberg 500 from a pawn shop for $180.
