A new shooting range is coming to Central Virginia, but you can find it in a familiar place.

Freedom Outdoors, which is based in Virginia Beach, plans to open in Henrico County at the old Colonial Shooting Academy location.

Vice President of Marketing Emily Crooks said that when the owners found out about the building's closure and that it was for sale, they jumped at the chance to buy and open the range.

This is a full-circle moment for Freedom, which used to be part of Colonial Shooting Academy. Years later, the owners split away from Colonial and renamed it Freedom Outdoors. Since then they have also expanded to purchase two Atlanta-area gun stores and ranges.

The Richmond facility, located in the 6000 block of West Broad Street, will have everything a shooter could want with some new features for those young and old.
