Looking for place to shoot near hagerstown

[stu929]

I moved to hagerstown this summer and I'm lookimg for a new place to shoot that is conveinient. I'd like tl stay within 30-45 minutes and i prefer somewhere that has some variety. I would be shooting mostly highpower and pistol but i recently have become interested in small bore and i also own a bow so any and all of the above would work but high power up to 200 yards would be my preference.

Eventually i would like to compete in a few garand or smallbore matches.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Steve

Join Izaak Walton, the Washington County club is here: http://washcoiwla.com/

It's not expensive and does have all you want, 200 yard range and lots of archery. If you want a bar and restaurant you're out of luck, this is a shooter's range.

North American Rod & Gun Club.

North American = Bar and restaurant + EXPENSIVE

I was a member!

Range is okay but very small for all the land the club is on.

Yes they have a Bar and restaurant in the clubhouse. The foods pretty good too and reasonably priced. The membership dues don't seem to high to me. I have seen many clubs in Maryland with less available to their members and they charge higher prices.

Oh and I am not a member but do know several of their members and have used their facilities a few times.

Peacemaker national training center in WV. Up to 1,000 yard range.

Thanks for all of the ideas ill start checking them out. The mention of high dues is a little concerning but i will give each place a bit of investigation. Does anyone know if any of these places do not allow steel core ammo ? I shoot mostly surplus with my garand i hope to start reloading but that will depend on what santa brings me :-)

Another great club to look into is Potomac Fish & Game. I don't know if their membership is open at this time but they have a nice range and great club house. Talk to Tim at Hafer's Gunsmithing about them for details.

Easy to get to off 16 (turn onto Old Forge then L on Mentzer Gap to R on Fish and Game)...give them a call or take a drive over... there is usually someone there during the day to show you around...
Dues are
Jr Member (6-16) $27 the first year, $17 after that
Regular Member (16-59) $60 the first year, $30 after that
Sr Member (60 and up) $40 the first year, $20 after that

Ranges are nothing spectacular or fancy.. just a good basic range set up... I believe the longest distance is about 250-300 yds... but I never shoot that far... we usually go up with our 22s or pistols....

doesnt sound bad at all

At North American the yearly dues were not bad, but the initation fee was a little high. Unless they have increased the dues signifgantly in the last 6 years, it would be very reasonable compared to some of the commercial ranges. Also have a yearly service requirement, if I remember correctly. AT Norht American, you shoot into a dirt embankment. I used to be member and dont remember any ammo restrictions, No Range officer, sort of a self service range. Alot of times ther would only be one or two other people at most shooting. Everyone was very safe, friendly and knew the rules.

North American: 100 yard range.

Izaak Walton: near Hagerstown raceway, this side of Clear Spring

+1 for Waynesboro Fish & Game club. I have been a member for 3 years and have not had any problems. Range for rifle is 50, 100 & 200. Pistol is 10 yards I believe.

 

[noahhh]

Back many years ago I was a member at Greencastle Sportsmans Club. Are they still in existence? Cost? It was a pretty nice range.

 

[stu929]

Sounds like I will not be attending North American but will have to check out Izaak Walton and Waynesboro.

And just for the hell of it peacemaker. Can't think of anywhere else were I could go to shoot 1000 yards :-)

Or have electronic targets. $200/year for membership. I'm a member, if you wanna hook up one day and head out there.

If you want a 1000 yard range try this one: http://www.pa1000yard.com/ It's not that far from Hagerbush and it's not expensive.
