I was doing a bit of exploring the other day and found the Calvert County Sportmans Club off of German Chapel Road. Any one know anything about them?

On the southbound side of Rte 4 across from the Sunoco south of Prince Frederick. It loops around to Hallowing Point Rd.

Can't you get to it from Parran, too?

I don't know, X. I was coming up towards P-Fred from Hallowing Point with the plan of heading south on Rte 4. Rather than go through the Rte 4 intersection I turned right onto German Chapel. On the left I saw a sign for Calvert County Sportmans Club. I don't recall seeing a Parran Rd intersection.

No no, I was wondering if you can get to German Chapel from Parran. I'm assuming Hallowing Point is aka rt231.

Did some digging and this is what I found:
Calvert County Sportsmans Club
(410) 535-0433
380 German Chapel Rd, Prince Frederick, MD 20678
Private skeet/archery club that has been around since at least 1953. No website on them so info is hard to come by.

Thank You NRA
Paul, the only thing I see in Calvert beside the Power Plant is at Calvert High School. It shows an indoor range of 10 meters, but that is private. There is Sanners Lake (which you already know about) and a few other ranges. But there is absolutely nothing on the Maryland website I just looked at that is located in Calvert. Nothing that is for Public use anyway.
I did hear at one time the Sheriff' Department was going to build a range in Calvert. The range was going to be open to the Police Monday and Tuesday, but open to the public Wednesday through Sunday. This was supposed to generate enough funds to be self sufficient. But good ole BGE at Calvert Cliffs stepped in and said, we have a range, just come down here and use ours for free. Needless to say, that was the end of any local range.
It kinda sucks because it would be nice to have something locally. But for right now at least, nothing is in the works. Plus the way this County has grown during the past 20 years, someone with money would complain about any noise from an outdoor range. Even if someone had the proper amount of property to build a nice range, I doubt the Commissioners would even vote something like this in at all anymore around Calvert. There would be too much complaining from the people who hate noise, and the people who are anti-gun.
Unfortunately gun ranges are a dying breed just like the old NASCAR Tracks from yester-year. At least around here.

You need to be sponsored in IIRC. No you can't get to German Chapel Rd from Parran Rd, at least not without taking Rte 4 north for a bit. 
I know this is an very old thread but, I would love more information on this club.
I was driving down german chapel road yesterday for the first time in probably 10 years. I noticed the sign for the Calvert County Sportsmans club. I remember seeing years ago but never gave it a second thought. Now I am really interested in finding out more about it. There is almost no info available online about this place.
If you know anything about it and would like to share some info I am all ears.

This was true but the Sheriff's Dept got tired of the rules imposed to shoot here at Calvert Cliffs. They did build a range at the landfill and it was going to be accessible to the public but a video got out of a 12 to 14 year old son of an officer shooting full auto stuff and it got squashed. The pest hope for a public range in Calvert is going to be Chuck Early.

You want to try to contact Maurice Lusby (co-owner of Lusby Motor Company). I think he is/was one of the board members of the Sportsman's Club.
I got married there.
It's really just a building back in the woods. No shooting or anything.
They just renovated it (maybe to have events there, I don't know) and put an addition on.
To join, you need 2 sponsors and attend monthly meetings.
