[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Airgun ranges in Baltimore area.

Posted: 10/4/2007 11:08:24 AM EDT

I have a friend on another board who lives in the Baltimore area who has a young son, 7 years old, who has expressed an interest in shooting airguns. Now my friend isn't a gunnie so he was asking about how to go about finding a place that rents them as well as getting airgun/firearm safety training for himself and his son. Are there any such places in that area that I could pass along to him?

Have his young son join Cub Scouts. At DayCamp he will learn and get to shoot BB guns. The instruction is quite good and safety is well stressed.

The other option would be to join one of the Clubs of the AGC. The AGC has an indoor pellet gun range in the upper clubhouse. (club dues + $150 for a range badge). Unlike the shotgun range I don't believe the pellet gun range is open to the public.

Other option is to go to a NRA gun safety glass (air rifle safety is the same as real firearms safety) then buy their own air gun and set up a range in the basement.

I believe the NRA has a dedicated facility at the HQ in Fairfax.

I put a backstop in the fireplace and made a 10 meter range by shooting across the house. Works if you have a rancher.

What part of Baltimore does your friend live?

My gunclub has a Junior .22 shoot twice a month. It is open to the public, is free of charge (the guns and ammo are provided) and it is FULLY supervised.

During the summer months the shoots are outside on the 25 and 50yd ranges, as the weather starts to cool off they move into the clubhouse and switch to pellet guns.

If your friend is interested I'll get him more information

This place maybe? Never been (don't shoot airguns)

That's a very popular place with several of my scout families.

I did not think it was legal to discharge a bb gun inside of Baltimore city limits? Might have to head to a county; though check w/ local LE first.
