    Yep, I live in Silver Spring, and I don't know the local shooting community or opportunities. I used to shoot sometimes in California, but I didn't bring anything out with me.
    I'm interested in going shooting with someone, but my wife and friends aren't interested, and I'm not sure where to go. Is anyone interested in a range trip?

    Welcome from somewhere west of Frederick! What do you shoot, handguns or long guns? Since you said you didn’t bring anything out with you I assume your looking for a range that you can rent handguns at?

    Thank you for all the friendly responses! I'm in 20901 (White Oak, not that far from the shopping center). I shoot pistol, and yes, I'm looking for a place that rents (and a co-conspirator who likes to shoot .22 and 9mm).

    The Machine Gun Nest in Frederick rents 22lr pistols. Semi and revolver.

    Howdy hi and welcome! I'd be happy to go shooting with you. :D I need to get the new sights arriving tomorrow on my .22 pistol, but I have that and a couple of 9 MM I'd be happy to bring along. I generally shoot in Frederick (Heritage and the Machine Gun Nest), which is a haul, but both are nice facilities!

    Hi, I'm in downtown SS. I found that shooting down in VA at the NRA range is the best bang for my buck. 15 dollars flat per hour if you're an NRA member. Holster draws, drawing from concealment and is a very high tech range where you can set a timer on targets to "edge" out to 50 yards, which is the biggest I've seen for an indoor. About a 36 min drive from DT Silver Spring.

    For training I generally take classes there hosted by Green Ops on Sundays.

    Welcome from Germantown. Send me a PM if you would like to try out the IWLA Rockville range located here in Germantown.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for your welcome and suggestions. I'll try to figure out an excuse to come to Frederick or Germantown in the next few weeks. I hadn't heard of either range before.
