WV is a 'gun friendly' state, but Check local and state laws ahead of arriving.
Misc:
This DAR is located at a private residence that is in a scenic area, bordering a small creek which can be used for fishing. Weather conditions will dictate parking arrangements and distance from range, which can vary between 50-300 yds. A variety of area restaurants are from 4.5-6 mi. away. This part of WV also offers 4 season activities, historical sites, and is centrally located to the Wheeling , Parkersburg, Morgantown area.
This is a 25 M only range, at this time. While centerfire is fine, bring out your 22s and gain valuable marksmanship skills without using up your expensive center fire ammo. Weekday Appleseeds will also be offered at this location periodically, so check the schedule.
No drugs or alcohol allowed on the premises.
