As many others have said, the Ruger 10/22 is a great way to start. I've had one for over 25 years. It was my first rifle. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Although, right now, they may be a little hard to find. I was trying to find one for my son, but he didn't want to wait and bought a...
Things have changed so much down there, I didn't hardly recognize anything the last time I was there. Lex. Park was always crazy. I know a few LEO's that work down there and they say the county is just plain nuts.
I drove down into the range today on my way back from Oakland. I really wish people would clean up their messes. Target stands were knocked over, torn apart, and of course, casings everywhere. Although, I don't mind people leaving their reloadable brass for me to pick up, lol. But it was...
Nothing is safe in St Mary's Co unless it's bolted down, or buried underground. Even then I some times wonder. The Tackle Box was robbed one night when I lived down there - numerous guns stolen.
When I was there, he had just opened the new place there behind his house. He never did have much in stock, but could get you anything. There were always police cars there too. I bought a gun or two off him when I was there. Tom has to be getting up there in age. I know his health was kind...
When I lived in St. Mary's Co during the mid-late 90's, I used to frequent a gun shop on Rt 4, just north of Rt 5 outside of Leonardtown, called Southern MD Firearms. A little old fellow named Tommy Bennett ran the place and was really nice to deal with. I haven't been back to the area for...
I have to say, after looking at a few pics of you Hooligans, lol, I did see a familiar face or two. I tend to fly under the radar at times. Do you all shoot a certain day and time of the week? It's usually a last minute decision for me to slide down and burn some ammo. I got kids in sports...
I shoot there now and then and the target stands are metal with conveyor belt material - They are usually pretty shot up, especially around hunting season. I've never seen sandbags, but a piece of a 6x6 post covered with carpet is usually on each bench. Unless I'm misunderstanding your post...
I've been visiting this forum here and there for a while now, and thought I would finally join. Looking forward to chatting with you all and maybe learning a thing or two. I have to say, I probably have ran into a few of you at the New Germany range before and probably will again when the...
