[Vision2020] Any gun ranges or gun clubs near Moscow?

[Dan Carscallen]

Having attempted to purchase ammo locally, one finds that our local retailers resemble Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

Whenever I get there, the cupboard is bare, unless you're looking for .327 Federal magnum

I'm a relative newbie at target shooting, at least within the last 15 years or so.  If I can find some ammo, somewhere, (it's just .22 long rifle ammo for chrissakes) I'd love to spend an evening every few weeks becoming familiar again with shooting and hopefully improving my aim and my familiarity with my weapons.

I have occasionally found some ammo online, but it is really hit or miss.  I've never screwed up the courage to order any, though.
