Hey Guys,

I know some of us have been speaking about hitting a couple shooting ranges in the area. Thought I'd start the thread for this for those interested.

I'm definitely interested. If other folks are, let's get some responses guys then we can pick a place to go.....

1.) Boochook
2.)
3.)
4.)

 

possibly, I dont own a gun technically.

 

Neither do I, technically....

I know there's a bunch of guys that do, plus I'm thinking of picking up a range of different kinds anyway, so this would be good.

Anyone else.

So far:

1.) Boochook
2.) Cohare
3.)
4.)

 

Berk i have a S/W MODEL 29 i'll let you borrow ......

 

T-Roe - I'm willing to try out the S/W MODEL 29.....Is it the long barrel or short barrel? I thought Semi-Automatics would be a great start, so would love to learn more......Another thing Torey (little off topic, but you got a guy that can do a quick weld job on a steel leg of a dining room chair for me....allen mentioned Chris might be able to).....Thanks dude. Also, Russell did another TOP NOTCH job on the painting and patchwork. Thanks again for the hook-up.

 

Absolutely count me in:

1.) Boochook
2.) Cohare
3.) Alan
4.)

 

I'm interested... WHERE will we go plinking?

I've been to a few ranges in NoVA. Have yet to shoot in MD.

1.) Boochook
2.) Cohare
3.) Alan
4.) Julius / JVProM6

 

I don't know laws about me coming into VA with my piece and vice-versa. We have a great indoor range up here in north Rockville. Either way Im down to shoot holes in paper. Anyone is welcome to try my SW Sigma in .40cal

 

excellent guys. looks like a decent initial interest. i'm open to ranges either in MD or in VA.

jason - i've heard good things about the SW Sigma .40cal. I was thinking something like that as a start for me too. can you check in to the laws of you carrying over so you can utilize at a range on the VA side?

 

I'm in

 

^^^great mark......

any suggestions on where we can go guys for those who have been in the VA/MD area? i most likely will need to rent/buy one as well. any thoughts???

thanks.

 

Blue ridge @ 50 and 28 has an indoor range. They have rental although I think there will be plenty to go around.

 

8in barrel stainless steel you will look like dirty harry....

 

Mark - Sounds good, do we need to be members there or are they okay with walk-ins/appointments, etc

Torey - that's what I'm talking about....it'll knock me back on my ***....hahahahaah

 

1. Firearms need to be out of reach of the driver/occupants (in trunk).
2. Unloaded, ammunition separate from firearm. Md. requires that magazines be unloaded.

Note:
I'd prefer a range that supports rifles as well as pistols (AR/AK goodness). Also - no requirement that ammo ($$$$ these days) be purchased only at that range.
