Trap/Skeet lessons near a brewery?

[SpringChicken]

Looking to put together an outing for my father-in-law and couple of friends. I'd like to start the day with some clay shooting instruction, then spend the afternoon touring a local brewery. Flying Dog comes to mind, but I'm looking for ideas on what ranges within a reasonable distance from MoCo would be good and offer lessons. Any suggestions on other range/brewery combos are welcome! All should be within an hours drive from DC and each other.

Monumental isnt all that far from Barley and Hops in Frederick?

Not sure but that may work

PG trap and skeet is not far from Mo Co.

Just a heads up that Flying Dog will only do tours with limited sampling. I've heard that the tours can be completely booked in advanced so you may want to check with them to see if they have any openings. I'm a big fan of Flying Dog and am one of the inaugural members of their Junto Society.

If you decide to shoot in the Frederick area I recommend you stop by Roasthouse Pub as they usually have a great selection of brews and their food is very good.

Enjoy!!

Port City Brewing Company is in Alexandria, Va. The tours are on Fri/Sat/Sun and cost a whopping $7. The price includes the tour and a glass to keep-most importantly it covers a glass of each of the beers

I have no idea of any close by skeet ranges, but if you're looking for a good up and coming brewery to check out-this one will fit the bill. I frequent the place as it's next to my office.

I'm actually interested in doing this with my father as well. Does anyone know if PG Trap & Skeet rents shotguns and has lessons?

 

[JoeRinMD]

Yes, they rent Beretta shotguns...very high quality guns for a reasonable price. I believe they only charge $8 to rent. The instructor is Rhys Arthur. I've taken lessons from him. He's very helpful...with a good attitude. I recommend him highly.

PG Trap & Skeet is actually pretty reasonably-priced.

PG Trap and Skeet and then off to DuClaw in either Bowie or Arundel Mills, depending on which direction you are traveling home.

Or even closer, Franklins. Right down rt. 1 a few miles north of DC. Spent entirely too much time there when I was a College Park.

Why is it always P.G??? There are a hell of a bunch of trap,and skeet clubs alot closer to Frederick than P.G.Lets see............There is Tuscarora,open to public Wednesday 5-10,Saturday 10-4,Thurmont Tuesday 5-10(or thereabouts),Mt. Airy on Thursday 5-10pm.I think that should suffice for now.........Ain't no reason to drive to P.G. with those clubs that close to Frederick.

Another thread necro, and where did Frederick come up in the above discussion? The OP was looking for close to MoCo, and depending on where in MoCo, PG Trap IS closer, plus they have instruction.

 

[Oskerspap12]

Flying dog is in Frederick........thats why!

Just like depending on where in MoCo, Frederick isn't that far of a drive.

And Flying Dog is a great brewery and I've heard a lot of good things about their tour compared to other brewery tours, mostly you learn a lot more. But you do need to book the tour in advance since they usually are booked up.
