First of all I am a dysfunctional Vietnam vet. PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE.
As a member for 35 years I am always annoyed by members trying to make friends and ask about the fine rifles I shoot. If I have a problem with a firearm most members try to help solve my problem without me fixing it myself. If you want a quite place to shoot I would not recommend joining.
PS. I have been a member for 35 years.
The grumpy old bastard scrounges for brass in calibers he doesn't shoot too.
I guess that bag of 6.5 Grendel brass in my truck will remain there for along time.

Free Grendel brass? Do tell! I just built one of those.
The AGC is a terrible place to shoot! Too many people there who enjoy shooting!
I would strongly suggest joining a club that has activities related to what you like to do! It was not until I joined Stemmers Run R&P that I found out about highpower competition. It became my addiction and the rest is history. Baltimore Rifle was the first club I joined, WAY back when (around '79). Never heard from them after joining so, I left. I understand they have improved since then. I have belonged to several clubs since, including, Stemmers Run, Monumental, Chesapeake and Maryland Rifle Club. Each club had activities that interested me and made them worthwhile. I finally decided to go with just one club. I chose Maryland Rifle Club because of their excellent highpower program. Again, even if you just want to come and shoot, find a club that has activities that you may be interested in, because you will find your experience more rewarding.
I see what you did there!I hear the Givati club is looking for new members.
You would have to join one of the clubs in order to get the range badge. I think the 2019 range badge is $190. for that you have unlimited access to the ranges and can bring guests at no charge. It all depends how much you think you'll use it. They also have range work days where you can volunteer your time and get credits toward next years range badge. There is always at least 1 RSO on duty and unsafe ******** is not tolerated. I live in Harford County and used to shoot at Elk Neck, I've had to wait for a spot there and witnessed some scary gun handling there too. Sometimes the road would get really dicey too in wet weather. It takes me about an hour to get to the AGC but I think it's worth it.
In the 90s, we joined Stemmer's Run and had AGC range badges.
The club was nice, met some great people. We did shoot some club events. Had a good time.
But overall, found the AGC, AT THE TIME, to be more hassle than it cost.
Club did some bowling pin shoots. Then AGC stopped them because a ricochet might go over the hill. Pistol rounds against wood, REALLY???? And we were shooting on the rifle range, with the tables on the far side of where the rifle targets would be set up, so a ricochet would have to go almost straight up.
I remember one day shooting at the pistol range. Single shots, with my timer. RO came over on his ATV to berate me for "shooting too fast" reminding me of the 1 shot per second rule. Funny, according to my timer, my shots were running 1.1 - 1.2 seconds between them.
I just packed up a left.
I understand it is better now, but I joined SLCFSA, cheaper, nice, closer, less hassles.

I wish there was a place like HAP Baker in Howard County. Love that place. Simple to join, go and shoot. AGC has a great layout and is much larger however having to bring target stands has always deterred me from going. Wish they had the simple pistol rope pulley system like at HAP for the pistols and some pre determined fixed stands for the rifle range to staple paper too. Perhaps 50, 75, 100, 150, 200.. Obviously a lot of people go and enjoy the range as is. I've take a tour a few years ago.
I remember those old bowling pin shoots. I enjoyed them a great deal! We used to close the pistol range and shoot closer to the impact berm ( like they currently do with their shoots). We always welcomed anyone who wanted to shoot with us. Some AGC genius decided that we needed to move the shoot back closer to the firing line because of one or two people who wanted to shoot other targets and did not want to join us. Bad Idea! It was at one of those shoots that I was struck by 2 ricochets! I was on the grass behind the concrete. Fortunately both rounds were spent, though one did leave a welt just under my left rib cage. It seems that the problem was, the bullets would, on rare occasion, hit the pin and then the block wall before coming back. When we were forward, the bullets would have simply hit the impact area and gone no further. People stopped standing near me because I was a "bullet magnet". There are times when some people just have to step in and "fix" a non existent problem and in so doing, create one.
Look into Baltimore Rifle Club. Join it, take the mandatory walk thru, & you're in. Nothing else needed. Oh yes, & I believe AGC is worth it.
