AR Pistol Range

[KSFrostie]

Anyone know any ranges in the Carroll County Area that will allow me to shoot my AR 15 pistols?

 

[KSFrostie]

Anyone?

Anyone?

I tried to shoot mine at Hap Baker and was shown the door rather rudely. I am not in that area often so that was the only place I tried, just passing it on in case you want to try them out. You might have better luck if you are a regular, most of the snide comments felt like they were because they didn't know me.

I am a semi regular. I shoot there every week or two. I doubt they will let me shoot my AR Pistol there. But you never know, I might ask...

Charles Co is much cooler.

Why? Did they give you a reason?

 

[Wendigo]

From what I've heard, at Hap it's pistol calibers only on the pistol range and rifles(with shoulder stock) only on the rifle range.

Might have better luck at Elk Neck or at the NRA range, not sure about the other indoor ranges. Best bet is finding someone with some land that likes to shoot.

I shoot my AR pistol at the AGC. It's a .22, but I don't think it matters. You should ask the RSO if you can use the pistol range or, because of the caliber, the rifle.

AGC if your a member there. When I shoot mine I try to not shoot next to members who are really trying to site in a gun or show a new shooter things. AR pistols have a rather vicious muzzle report and can be rather annyoing to the older folk there. As long as you are Polite and keep it calm, i.e. one shot a second or so, you'll be fine to shoot an AR pistol on the barnes range.

I couldn't shoulder it when sitting in the seat and fit the muzzle in the box. And they thought it was illegal.

I wish everyone was mindful of their fellow shooters as you are.

A rather inexpensive method of being polite is getting a Levang Linear Compensator. Like it's more expensive and bigger brother, the Noveske KX3, it helps direct muzzle blast downrange, which reduces the perceived noise levels to those next to and behind the firearm (Note: this does not reduce the decibel level itself, which would make it a suppressor, it merely redirects the sound in a different direction).

I run my AR-15 pistol with just an A2 birdcage flashider I honestly just cannot justify the KX3 or any of the other muzzle brakes/comps when they charge you $100+ for them!!!! I just make sure I have my ears on when I touch rounds off lol.

 

[KSFrostie]

So it sounds like I am going to have a ton of trouble finding some where to shoot my AR pistol. I would join AGC but they club that contacted me wanted some sorta NRA thing and I do not have any NRA things. And if I had to get it I think it would price me out of membership.

Not close but NRA Range in Fairfax. Open to the public.
