    Looking for a place to shoot skeet or trap this Friday afternoon with my brother and brother in law. Most places seem to have weird hours/ schedules. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Closer to Westminster the better.

    You are in Howard County. Just go to PG trap and skeet. Pretty smooth drive. Just head south on the BWI Parkway (i.e., 295) or take I-95 south to 495 to BWI Parkway north and get off at the first exit on the BWI Parkway for Greenbelt Road (193). PG Trap and Skeet is one of the better clays places I have gone to and I continue to shoot there.

    Public range, Trap, Skeet and Sporting Clays, open 7 days a week. They do have some restrictions on shotguns, no pistol grip and no barrels less than 24" if I remember right. They do rent guns and sell ammo and other shooting paraphernalia.

    They have wobble and five stand too.
    I like to start new shooters on the wobble station because its easy and fun. Let them smash a few there before the frustration begins on the other courses.

    There's also a Five Guys (and a Herrshey's Ice Cream :innocent0) down the street that's set up so its easy to keep your eyes on your vehicle.

    This^^^^^^^^^

    Plus, it has everything that you need to shoot clays if you have never done it before and most of the people there are new shooter friendly.

    Just checked out their website. I might come out next Sunday and join you guys. Think I bought my mower from Finch right around there. Never would have guessed that a trap place is right there.

    Went out to PG skeet this morning, nice place, however it does get packed. Felt really rushed after that, like when you golf and end up with a group of D-Bags behind you.

    What were you shooting? Sporting clays, trap, skeet.....?

    I was there a couple of months ago on a Sunday afternoon and there was hardly anybody shooting sporting clays. I think everything is more crowded now because school is back in and nobody is on vacation. I went somewhere the other day and could not believe the number of people that were there. Just cannot remember where that was or what I was doing. lol

    Try trap at the AGC, it's pretty much a snob-free zone!
