| I'm interested in finding out how the crowds have been during the week. Thanks. |
| I'm glad they're re-opened, but I generall stop going around October though January. I always went on Friday mornings and found they got pretty crowded around this time of year. Haven't been up there since they re-opened but a friend of mine said the place is packed on Saturdays. |
It is because Hap Baker is full of Fudds. "You don't need a 30 round mag for hunting, why else would you need them?"

I was there with an AR and a Beta-C a few years back and was asked to leave because I had no other mags with me. It was by the young guy with the glasses and the high polish stainless Springfield Armory GI model on his hip. When asked why I was to leave he said "out of respect for the victims of the DC sniper". I haven't been back since. Edited for spelling. |
Is that the guy with a beard also? Sort of a thin, short guy? When you were asked to leave, did you ask for your money back? I would have, I'm curious if they would give it back. I've been there I think twice, didn't really care for either experience. I wouldn't have gone back after the first time except that I was taking two semi-new shooters and needed someplace close that wasn't too expensive. There was a guy there that told me I needed to have 3 seconds between shots on the pistol range after he heard me shooting a .22 pistol about a shot per second for a mag. If I were just spraying, I could understand, but if you looked at my target, you could tell I wasn't just screwing around. The previously mentioned guy also tried to belittle me when "checking" my pistols when I first arrived, especially when he saw I had empty mags in them. He said unless I was a LEO, I couldn't have empty mags in my pistols. I'm originally from PA, I'd never heard of that nonsense. |

No 30 rounders Thats F-in ridiculous! Ive went there before with 30 rounders and nothing was said,I wonder if they would let you slide if you flashed a .mil ID and told them you only have issued mags. I probably wont be going there much anyway, beings I got 2 buddys with property in VA and WV with over 20 acres.

i was there just before it burned. shot ar only, 30 rounders were no prob then. they will tell you to slow your rate of fire though.  delmarva is fun,but not very organized. they need to install a light and buzzer with a timer. so people can change targets. i saw some attitude once when i asked for a cold line. |
| Finally got out to Hap Baker today. First time since the fire. Except for being cleaner the place hasen't changed much. Not that I know enough about ranges and what improvements if any could have been made. Some people can complain but we had a good time. I went thru about 300rds in my AR and my buddy did about the same in his AK. I can understand the no rapid fire rule to an extent. Maybe they could have one 30 minute session twice a day where you could do rapid fire. All lanes were in use the whole time I was there and at one point there were people waiting. |
