Yep, we used to shoot there as kids too - fun days.

Another example would be the Bateman's right off of Aquahart road in Glen Burnie. The last three times I went there I received bad service and/or food, and I go out to eat infrequently enough that when I do go out, I want it to be good and enjoyable, and I'll stop going places where that's not happening.

Batemans closed last week. It's about time. I'll miss the lemon pepper wings though, but not the awful service.

Is the one in Severna Park still open?

I'm not surprised - with Mission BBQ and Outback Steakhouse in the same shopping center (although I'm personally not really a fan of the Outback, it does good business) which offers superior food and service, they lost out.

That's why I have a pistol and rifle range set up in the yard. Amen for land and nobody around!

I would love to have this setup. Downsides of townhouse living.

Maybe there IS a God!!!

Always hated going there. All one time!!

Bar 'manager' tried to tell me the watered down rotgut they brought me was the Maker's Mark I ordered.

Among other issues, we ended up leaving before the meal.

I went there 3 times I think. Once when they first opened, everything was fine. Then later for a happy hour, which was eh. And again and service and food were terrible. We never went back. I would rather eat at the sunset across the street, which has gotten better, still not very good though, but good enough to go once in a blue moon.

........and The Sunset looks the same (inside) as it did the first time I was there in 1977....

I thank God I belong to Baltimore County Game and Fish. Outdoor range, and always the nicest people on the planet shooting there.

I feel the same way about AGC. :thumbsup:

My father used to take me there when I was around 5 or so, which would make it 1967!!

...but it's not. It burned some years ago and was totally remodeled. That was well after 1977.

Oh.
My wife and I have gone there twice in the last three years. When I walked in there it reminded me so much of what it looked like the first time, I assumed nothing had changed. You know? That 1960's look.

I live in Glen Burnie and I have not been to On Target or Select Fire.I been to a range in PG Co.,Maryland Small Arms Range.They are very friendly and helpful. As a new shooter they helped me get my AR zeroed in. Before I entered the firing lane they checked my weapon and added some lub to the BCG.The only down side for me is the 40+ mile drive and the 301 traffic.

In spite of the bad reviews online and the less than stellar reputation they have based on my mdshooters search of old threads I was thinking about going to Select Fire in Glen Burnie. The place is just so close it would save me a lot of time.

I see on their web site that you can shoot 5.56 and 762.39 but only if you use their ammo (frangible) and only if your gun has a sighting system. What do they mean by sighting system. I mean, I just have iron sights on both of my guns. Do they require you to have a scope or something?

Thanks for any info.

If you're in the Frederick Area and have 3 friends with you, why not go to Spartan Tactical & Police Supply and shoot each other with UTM civilian training ammo and either ARs, glocks, sigs or both, while learning CQB drills. Cheaper than a couple hours at the range.

I just noticed that "On Target" is close too - but it does it does not look like they allow rifles - not sure - anyone been there?

On Target allows rifles if they're in a pistol cartridge (.22LR, .22WMR, 9mm, etc.), but otherwise they're only set up for pistols. Nice range, though, if a little dated. Their rates for rentals and shooting are great, too.

I work 5 minutes from Select Fire and, prior to having an outdoor place to shoot, would go there 2-3 times per month. Still go in the Winter off and on. Not the friendliest place but I had no problems. Lunchtime M-F there would rarely be more than 2 other lanes in use.

Where do you shoot outside. I want to do this badly!!!

Depends on what you want to shoot.

AGC In Marriottsville has public Trap shooting I think Sundays and Wednesday. Check their website. If you want to shoot paper targets at the 50,100 or 200 yd lanes you'll need to join a club there and then join AGC. Thats about $200/yr.

Loch Raven Skeet is open to the public.

DelMarVa sporting clays near Cambridge charges $20 for the day.
