    Which gun ranges can I used 00 Buckshot. I just bought a Stevens 320 for my first gun on Black Friday and I received 2 boxes of Buckshot. Most of the ranges I looked up only allow slugs.

    I did see a thread here about the same question but it was from 3 years ago and you guys said continental. I would like to know if this is still true. Thanks.

    Maryland Small Arms in PG County allows the use of buckshot. I’ve never been to Continental, so I’m not sure about them.

    Yeah. I live in Baltimore so I'm pretty much in the middle and able to go to mostly all of them. Continental makes it seem like their range is for only Pistols. The way they say "Continental Arms Indoor Pistol Range" on their website.

    Yes, Continental is 00 Buck only. Shot some there just a few weeks ago.

    It is a bit of a drive for some people, but Delmarva Sporting Clays closer to the eastern shore is a great range that has allowed buckshot.

    Does anyone know if you can use targets that have a silhouette outline at Continental and others? Or should I just buy regular bulls eye targets? I was going to buy a big pack from Amazon this is the only reason I am asking.

    Yes, you can. They sell B27s and a few other types there.

    AGC is ok to shoot 00 buck on the Barnes range. I personally only shoot that when there's very few people there. Don't want the shotgun pattern to spread out down range and affect someone else's target.

    In juxtaposition to the rules at Continental, the rules at Freestate permit the use of slugs only, but do not allow shot. I just confirmed this on the Freestate website.

    Thanks for the correction. It’s been a while, and now that I think harder I may have showed up with 00 and had to purchase slugs onsite.
