Description:
You see lots of strange things from the air. Sometimes it's just the perspective that's strange, and other times--well, maybe you know immediately what THIS thing is. A driving range? A firing range? A-- a-- a what???

This is a shootgun shooting area. They shoot clay pigeons at each of 5 stations, designated by the white strips and they launch the clays out of the white houses.

Aha! Thanks, Steve! I figured it had to be something like that, but couldn't get it.

Each field has 3 houses one in the middle is for Trap Shooting and troughs birds randomly out of the house between the first and last station going away from you, you never know where but you do call for the bird so you do know when. That is TRAP Shooting (my game) 5 shots per station 5 stations. A box of 12ga shells is 25. The long pads are for handicap shooting the better you get the further back you go.<br />The 2 out side houses are for skeet shooting and the bird is throne across in front of you and you know which house it will come from but I think the puller has a window of 3 maybe 5 seconds to pull the bird after it is called for. They also have some stations that are doubles (1 from each house)<br />Sheet shooters say trap is easier and trap shooters say skeet is the easy game. They are both tough sports but the money is good if you get up the ladder and fun. Lots of practice about 3 to 5 thousand birds a year. That is shooting every weekend for the gold and shooting 3 or 4 times a week for practice.<br />

Son of a gun, Charlie! 3000-5000 shotgun rounds a year averages out to 8-14 <B>BANG</B>s a day, every single day. And some people think that <I>flying </I>is noisy.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

Virginia is strange. I lived there for two decades almost and, although I enjoyed it and found the people warm and hospitable, it is unique (i.e., it is still a felony to cohabitate with a woman without being married to her and, more surprisingly perhaps in this day and age, in some jurisdictions in the Commonwealth cases are still prosecuted). The flying is great, but there are a lot of military bases and restricted areas and one has to be especially cautious). But, as to your picture, I haven't a clue. Looks like a lot of land to be a firing range. I could be wrong. Dexter Coffin

Dexter, if you'll give me your email address, I'll have Splash & dash send you an invitation, so you can log in as yourself. (No need to come to strange Virginia for that.) You can post it here or email it to me.
