I never shot there, but it still sucks for them and their customers.

Something like this burned down Shooters Paradise in Woodbridge, Virginia. It really sucked.

Yes it did & still does.

That range was once owned by Phil Strader & was home to USPSA club VA-19.

It also hosted an affiliated IDPA and ICORE club, plus hosted 2 and 3gun shoots and accomodated a local boy scout troop. Countless Virginia CCW permits were granted after folks took classes at Shooters. There was a 12- week USPSA beginner's class there run by a former section coordinator. Many LEOs from a dozen or so agencies practiced or qualified there. Not to mention, it gainfully employed a lot of people.

Never knew how much I appreciated that place until it was gone.

What ever happened to the effort to reopen it?
