I could do the 20th at Powhattan or Amelia. I'll bring a freind too.

themonkey · « **Reply #23 on:** December 13, 2006, 04:57:00 PM »

so its lookin like the 20th folks, real question now is powhatan or amelia?

knife river · « **Reply #24 on:** December 13, 2006, 05:47:00 PM »

Amelia has some kind of range and Powhatan doesn't? That right? If so, I'd say Amelia if everything else is equal. Never been to either place, so I don't know...

themonkey · « **Reply #25 on:** December 13, 2006, 06:00:00 PM »

if amelia has a range, that solves the problem of whose bringing a block/ target to fling arras at at camp, anybody got a big shelter thing we could use?

UK Bowman · « **Reply #26 on:** December 13, 2006, 07:13:00 PM »

So I guess that it Amelia WMA on the 20th. Lookin forward to it

My truck's bigger'n your truck, Knifey! I was thinking of going ahead and taking Friday off and spending the night somewhere close by the hunt, just so I don't end up all raggedied out before I even string the bow.

I have a Black Hole target that I will throw in the truck bed. Now I gotta go look up Amelia.

Excuse me but I'm a little confused. I don't get the correlation between a rifle range and a traditional archery hunt. If the range is the same as the one at C.F. Phelps WMA and I'm sure it is. There is absolutely no place for archery target shooting. I think we could find some corner of a field to use as a practice range though.
As far as a shelter I have a big 8 person tent we could use.
I'll bring my beer target (1/2 deer, 1/2 bear). My friend that I'll invite has 20 McKenzie 3D's. I'm sure he'll bring one or two if we want.

OH...darn I better start getting some arrow together, we've already done four or five squirrel hunts and the stock is low.

It's been a few years since I was at the Amelia site, but it had several archery targets, including a permanent elevated platform stand. Things may have changed, though.

themonkey · « **Reply #31 on:** December 13, 2006, 09:23:00 PM »

alright so who all is in?

knife river · « **Reply #32 on:** December 13, 2006, 10:12:00 PM »

Two hands are up in the air here -- me and my son.

UK Bowman · « **Reply #33 on:** December 14, 2006, 07:00:00 AM »

Not far to travel for me, I will come

VA Bowbender · « **Reply #34 on:** December 14, 2006, 08:00:00 AM »

I'll be there and maybe another guy too.

I hope this is helpful.

Public Sighting-In Range

After a brief closure for facilities maintenance, the shooting ranges at Amelia Wildlife Management Area re-opened to the public on September 1, 2006 with some changes to the schedule of operation and rules. Three shooting ranges are available, including a rifle sighting-in range, a clay-bird shotgun range, and an elevated station for archery practice. Facilities are not available for handguns. The Amelia WMA ranges are normally open to the public from September 1 - March 31 on every day of the week except Monday. The ranges are closed every Monday for maintenance. The ranges may also occasionally be closed at other times as posted in advance on-site.

Directions

Located between U.S. routes 60 and 360, the Amelia Wildlife Management Area is about 25 miles southwest of Richmond and ten miles north of Amelia Courthouse. From U.S. Route 60, at Flat Rock, turn south on route 622; right onto route 610; and right onto route 604 to Mason’s Corner. From U.S. Route 360 the management area is north on route 604. Consult the map for detail.

Here's a map of the WMA.

Just one thing to note...you cannot hunt rabbit on Amelia WMA, it is by quota only. I know that we are going "Skwerl" hunting, but if you want bunnies too we will have to go to Powhatan.
