    Just saw that you can no longer shoot 50bmg at Delmarva sporting clays and was wondering if there is another place to go? I'm in Pasadena but willing to travel as I used to make the trip done to Vienna to ahoot.

    Saw that too. Wonder if the change was incident driven, prevention or just being neighborly. Heard there were ass hats trying to set targets on top of berm and walk out on a hot(not temp) range today.

    The town of Vienna is right across the river, but it wouldn't surprise me if some thing may have went amiss. What kind of responsible person would put a target on top of a berm and then walk onto a hot range?

    Prob people that don't go shooting regular and just bought a firearm since they heard they were being banned or something

    There's all types that go there and yes there is the FNG syndrome. Timing is everything but I understand over excitement having to drive that far. I cant believe there is no place to shoot hardly on the Western shore that guys are traveling that far. I've been to Marriotsville, Stoney Creek, Meade, Glenbrook, Annapolis, B&O bowman and other unofficial places years ago.

    Supposedly you can shoot .50 at 340Defense range in WVa, I haven't been there yet to check it out. They did tell me in an email that it's allowed.

    been a couple of years since i've been there, but they also rented out a .50 and sold ammo.

    The Delmarva incident was someone fired over the berm and supposedly hit a building.

    Not supposedly.

    They hit a guy's barn almost 2 miles away. He was less than enthused. LE was called, quite a shenanigan. Turns out the guys shooting were hitting the dirt and skipping every round about 30 yards before and 20 yards to the right of the 100-yard berm (which is where they'd placed their targets).

    Was it the broad side?

    Jokes aside, I hate stupid!
