Handgun range in or near Montgomery Co. MD that will allow you to shoot your own ammo

[Schipperke]

Dick Gilbert says the only way he could get zoning approval was to acquiesce to Mo Co's demand that members not bring their own ammo.

I have no idea if it's true but it sure seems logical, given the lib morons who run the county.

Yet if I buy ammo there and have some left, I can walk out with it. Entire story is a bit fishy. They've been around for a while and seen no heroic efforts to change the "County Mandated Policy", which probably has no legal grounds. Didn't the County try banning mail order ammo too? If you are W, SW of Gilberts, NRA is the go to. Just be careful when due to traffic. If I time it lucky, I can be there in under 30 minutes at near posted speed limit. They let your kids share range at no charge, and 50 yards.. NRA member $15/hr

Why would they try and change it(policy)? They're making money selling ammo to shooters.

I do all the time. I bring tons of ammo to the range. Good side is, I've never run out of ammo...just daylight.

This was indeed the case when the range was being built. Montgomery County put him through the ringer when he was getting that place built.

I've been to On Target a couple of times, and very happy with the place.

I have a membership to Machine Gun Nest and I live in eastern Montgomery county near I-95. The drive is simple, ICC to 270, and worth it. The range is nice, the people are nice, and they have RSOs on the line which is nice to see.

I don't mind On Target, but there's not enough eyes on the line and too many dangerous moments. Plus the ventilation is some garbage

Machine gun nest is the best indoor range in maryland by far.

How crowded does Machine Gun Nest get?
NRA Range is by far my favorite, but sometimes having to wait an hour to get a lane gets old

I think it all depends, I usually go on Saturday. Most of the time i get either instantly on or wait 20 mins or less.


I love how NRA is 50 yards it's just such a pain in the ass to get to in traffic.

MG Nest I have yet to wait. I got a membership earlier this year and they're great, if there's open Lanes and nobody waiting, they let you keep shooting.

How so ?

Not being a smart ass, just wondering what makes it the best in your opinion.

I think its the best because of the relative cheap price for members/non-members, specials available (see date night), and really great staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful in providing a safe, non-overbearing atmosphere.

Like a lot of other ranges, you can shoot past the hour if its not crowded and they have a lot of available shooting rests free of charge. Lastly, pistol ammo is "decently" priced as well (I think approx 15-17 for blazer 9mm/50)
