Crossbows are
NOT ALLOWED
at NORVA


When the Virginia Legislature voted to approve crossbows for hunting, we anticipated that we would have current and prospective members that would want to use them on the range. Initially we looked at this as an opportunity to get more members. Our Secretary took the time to check with our sanctioning organizations, the park authority, and our insurance. Preliminarily there was no resistance.

However after consulting with several people who are familiar with the use of crossbows, I came to the conclusion, that due to the nature of these devices (specifically that they can be armed to fire at an indefinite time in the future), the NORVA range facility would have to be set up like a rifle range with a range officer overseeing the line at all times. for this reason it is not practical to allow their use at our club.


There is almost always something that needs done on the range.
