Based on the experience with the Machine Gun Nest, this is harder than it seems (permits, etc.). I would be surprised if this was really open in 2015.

This is an excellent location though.

One hopes this prods OnTarget to up their game. It's convenient, but no rifles. I personally like Freestate, but its kinda of a trek. I am not a fan of the freezing cold at AGC either.

Me either but at least the mud doesn't stick when it's frozen.

I got my email solicitation announcement today. Does that mean I've been accepted as a member there?

:lol:

Is there really such a thing as a "vapor range?"

It's called vapor ware...

For the record, this is the facility that was being discussed in this thread many moons ago.

I think this became PSTA in Upr Marlboro, Md. Not open to the public, but LE & security related-types. A very nice facility.

Nope…I know one of the folks involved. This is the one.

Call me old school and yes, I know it's not much, but I'm still a Myrtle Grove fan. Where else can you get to shoot in several "mico-climates"? Jungle hot and muggy in summer, desert dry and dust-bowl like during dry spells, swamp training after a week of hard rains, Tundra shooting (if and when it ever snows around this frickin place), urban training (duck and cover when the urban cowboys are shooting) and last but not least, peaceful, solitude when the temperature is below 32. I like to shoot and train under the worst of conditions because I heard that there might be a problem scheduling the SHTF event on a sunny, 78 degree day. Just sayin...

shot at Elite with a group of friends on Friday before the gun show. pistol range. very nice! ventilation was excellent. nice wide lane. table in front of shooter in the lane is on wheels so can be moved to the side for holster drawing and firing. target system worked great and lane downrange was very well lit. only thing I can ding them on is the lack of light in the lane over the shooting table. very dark.

we took a look in the rifle range side as we were leaving. 100yds indoor with built in shooting benches in each lane. best thing about the rifle lanes is the remote camera that allows you to see your target downrange right on the monitor suspended over the bench. sure beats having to bring target in, check hits and back out to 100yds.

its a bit of a drive for us to shoot there weekly, but I can see hitting it prior to the NGS in Chantilly.

So, anyone know what's going on with this? It's been about six months since the last round of emails asking for private investors. If it's dead, that's OK, but I'd certainly like to know.

The location is right up the street from where the guy broke in to rob the car repair shop and was met by the armed shop owner. The owner, Peanut, popped the guy. My employer is farther down the street. I've been watching that location for years wondering what they were doing with that slow clearing of the lot. Now I know.

Any word on their status? The land in question has had an ice new building on it for some time but no signage or news of their opening. Hopefully it is just delayed and not a lost venture.

I'd say this location has a potential trifecta of clientele - well off urbanites from inside the city, well off suburbanites from the other end of the ICC ... and as a diversion from studying at College Park. $2,500 a year would probably sell out pretty easily; I wonder how much higher they could go?

I knew Peanut when he had the Gulf station on Rt.1.

The two guys who tried starting it up couldn't get financing for it. It's a nothing.

Personally I'm tired of indoor ranges, it's all I have locally to my knowledge and im just tired of it, I don't care how cold it is outside I will always prefer shooting outdoors. Plus I love the way firearms sound outside vs being muzzled down indoors.

Nice cafe range though for those who are interested.

What do you have for sale? Its more than obvious and some of your posts are likely to be deleted.

Been curious myself.

Out of 50 posts, 38 were about technical problems with his rifle. Seems legit enough so far.

Welcome again, good luck with getting your rifle sorted out .
