I'd like to buy rifles at some point, but there doesn't seem to be any outdoor ranges in the area where one can sight out to 100 yards. What do you guys do when you want to shoot at longer ranges than the indoor ranges are capable of?

Arlington Fairfax IWLA. http://www.arlingtonfairfax-iwla.org/index.html

Not the easiest thing to become a member of, but a very nice facility.

Ditto - and you won't find a better group of chaps either. Always helpful. Many old soldiers and marines, as well as just good old boys. This is one of the best places in NoVA.

I didn't see anyone respond. The Arlington Chapter IWL range is 100 yards.

If you have military benefits, on the weekends Quantico opens up their ranges for use, it's ~$100 per year last I checked for a membership, and free range use, just needs a range instructor there.
