Gun Ranges near Annapolis

Ronan · Aug 3, 2018

Anyone recommend certain gun ranges near Annapolis? (pay to play, don't have time with clubs, the one's around here seems very strict/complicated/expensive)

I shoot 5.56 (rifle) and will be shooting 6.5 grendel, preferably 1000 yard (but shorter works too).

If i only go by google reviews, seems all the ranges will abuse me and fiddle my guns :rolleyes:

Delmarva sporting clays in Vienna has out to 500. It’s $20 a day

Alexanders.

Don't think you will find 1000 anywhere nearby.

Bridgeville goes out 600. Might be 1000 now, I’m not certain

Thanks you ☺️

Ronan, have you shot at 1000 yds?

Bridgeville does have 1000 yard range for their F-Class matches. I believe you must be sponsored by an existing member to become a member.

The Naval Academy has a really nice 500 yarder...

BUT we can't use it...

Fort Meade goes to 600, but extremely limited access. Fort Meade Rod & Gun and Meade Rifle & Pistol Club schedule range time, but it is limited times and access is on scheduled times i.e. you can't just come and go as you please. Ranges are owned by Department of Interior and operated by NSA through a Memorandum of Agreement.

Absolutely not. It's a goal i have had for a long, long time. Why 1000 yard? No idea... most likely because 1 mile would require an absurd amount of money and skills.... while 1000 yard is less money

Actually looking for classes/etc, but doesn't seem to be much around here. Maybe a 'me-vacation' is on order...

Well, Yoda ( E.Shell) may chime in. He is the MDS resident long range guru. He used to do long range training in Virginia. Don't know his current training status. Personally, only done 300 and 600 yds. Would like to do 1000 eventually.

I took a class with Ed two years ago and he was fantastic. Last I heard, Ed had suspended training for now but he (and others on this forum) have recommended Bang Steel in southwestern Virginia.

Yep I shoot with both clubs. Works for me. Ft Meade also has a really nice 1000yd range but we can’t use that either. Damn shame.

I've heard them as well, but never knew where the range is. Off campus I assume?

They are at the other NSA in MD.....

Naval Station Annapolis!!!!

What used to be called North Severn....across the River from the Academy.

If you look on the satellite view of Google maps off Cole Road and Alder Roads you can see the ranges including the combo trap/skeet range.

Check out the links in the first post in this thread. Pretty much covers all the area ranges:

Yup, found it. Looks like a nice little facility they have there.

Fort Meade used to have two really nice Trap/Skeet Ranges as well.

One was located on the Northwest side of the Fort off Rt. 175, at the old Rod and Gun Club. It was closed down due to complaints about shot fall on the elementary school on Donaldson Ave.

The other was located on the old Ranges that are now part of the Department of Interior North Tract behind the baseball fields on RT. 198. The Meade Natural Heritage Association, which controls the hunting on the Patuxent Refuge, used to have open shooting on these ranges, until DoI built a Bird watching area on the pond next to them, and the bird watchers complained about the lead contamination.

BTW - Check out the Meade Natural Heritage Association for some limited Range Access and Hunting Opportunities on the Patuxent Refuge:
