Next Monday and also new AP shooter night next Wednesday.

I'd build up large embankments and make a 360 degree range... put up outdoors sound proofing. Definitely would invite people to learn on a real world range instead of a square range.

It's all the real world range you could ever ask for and seems to be a popular place for shooting....

Shooters wanting to practice holster draw (strong side belt holsters only) must first be FreeState Holster Draw Certified and notify the RSO. You MUST remove the shooting table from the shooting booth, stay within the shooting booth, and keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. Shoulder holsters or cross-draw holsters may not be used unless authorized by the Range Officer.
FYI, they do have memberships (although they're not required to shoot there) and they are an indoor range. I know it's not really convenient but I suppose it's an option, if you want to take the time to make the trip.

Maryland's known as the "free state" because they were one of the first colonies (about four centuries ago) to offer protection from persecution for a religious minority (in this case, the Catholics). It's certainly not because of anything they've done recently.mdak06 wrote:If you ever are in Maryland, the FreeState Gun Range in Middle River <snip>The range's name is a bit ironic.....

If I ever had the money and space to do so I'd love to set up a kill house. Something that had modular walls and multiple entrances in order to be able to set up a seemingly endless variety of scenarios for CQB, house clearing, etc. I don't think they allow use of paint round ammo to civilians yet so paintball markers may have to substituted.
