If they built it I might check it out for 200' target shooting. For everything else there's more access at Sanner's, plus swimming, fishing and hunting.

I'm glad you enjoy that place. I'm looking for something less expensive.

I grew up in PA where you can't throw a rock without hitting a state firing range. That's something that the state of MD seems to be lacking in. Some counties realize that and are trying to make a difference.

Could it be that Maryland is a LOT flatter than Pa??

Southern MD is definitely flatter. Nothing a reinforced retaining wall wouldn't solve, though.

The facility up north had sponsors that initially contributed to the contruction. To maintain the facility, they charge the following fees:

Daily fee:
$ 5.00 - County Resident
$ 10.00 - Out of County Resident

Season pass:
$30.00 - Country Resident
$60.00 - Out of County Resident

I'd love to see a public shooting range around here. I know so many people who like to shoot and have no place to do it. Wish I could sign the petition, but I'm a Calvert County resident.:frown:

I wasn't going to sign when I spotted Hillary Clinton and Saddam Hussein, but then I found out Homer Simpson was all for it and Stephen King lives in my neighborhood! :yay:

I'm in.

I'd be willing to bet liability and insurance are the major reasons.

These are a great idea. We had a couple of them back home, but they were "private" (AKA not government funded) and they seemed to do quite well. They were combination shooting range/gun-bow shop/and shooting "school" all in one so maybe most of the money came from the things other than the range itself?

Either way, they are a great idea!

I heard they tore them down to put in a pottery barn.

Mark - you confuse me - $100 for a year at Sanner's is too expensive (even when you have additional benefits than just the shooting range), yet you are willing to pay $5 a day to just go shoot? hmmm, let's say you only shoot for 30 days in a year (365 days) that equals $150. Plus you have no added goodies to your shooting package?!:confused:
