after twenty seven years it looks like i will be moving out of Maryland, an offer has been accepted on a property minutes from I81 exit 12(location undisclosed for now).

i am into hunting and fishing and other outdoors sports as well may be looking for a local spot to shoot, any suggestions for any of these things would be great. i know about sleepy creek, but that is about it. i am a member of the washington co Izaak Walton, but will be a bit of a drive.

thanks for any help

I am familiar with that Martinaburg area. There is a place near Harpers Ferry and also westlance training center but it might be a drive. Tango down in hedgesville is supposed to be good too. I have looked all over tri-state area for ranges. These are the only ones can think of right now.

PM Norton. He has property (his little slice of heaven) in WVA somewhere.

Maybe he can help you out.

Exit 12. I will be close to your new place a lot. I take exit 12 when I go to Ecolab.

Inwood, WV

Welcome to the neighborhood! I'm at exit 5, pass thru exit 12 every day to/from my day job.

Sleepy Creek is pretty much shut down, it's shotgun only now. Otherwise, there's Valley Guns II in Inwood (indoor), Peacemaker in Gerrardstown, Glock Cop off exit 8, Tango Down in Hedgesville, and 340 Defense in Charles Town.

My house in Wash Co is on the market now. Once it sells I will be in WV too. Good by socialists!

Peacemaker is down route 45 probably 20-25 minutes from you. Went there yesterday and thought it was great. The membership price is pretty good-200/year, or 15$ per day for the public range.

I'd love to move to WV. Want to that in the next 5years, if I can stand MD that much longer.

... can you still get out of the contract? Why not buy a big enough piece of land that you can have your own shooting range on? Just saying

Is it true that West Virginia farmers tie ropes to their potato plants so come harvest time they only need to yank on said ropes and the potatoes roll down the mountain sides and into sacks ?

Both the novel and the film versions of "Deliverance" are set in Georgia, so only those who are ill-informed about literature, cinema and geography conflate WV with that milieu .

As far as sodomy, however, it is the state of MD that chose to dignify that institution with the title of holy matrimony, so think again about who the joke is on.

I'm actually pretty happy for the folks moving to WV. I just think if they are moving west and keeping their job here in the Baltimore-Washington area, they are not really leaving MD.

On the other hand, the Deliverance reference was uncalled for and I do apologize.
