Anyone else here into guns? If so, where do you go shoot? I'm looking for somewhere with a good long range. The one place I go now in Carroll County has a 200 yard range. Looking for something longer.

Try any street corner in SE DC, I use to hear gun shots all the time around there.
But if your looking to do it legally check out the link below.

I have a few and I like to shoot. Where I live in PA I am very close to some of the state game lands. I can go there and pick a remote area and pick my distance. The Warwick game lands near French Creek State Park have a public range, but it only goes to 100 yards. I also belong to a private club which has a 300 yard range. I'm sure there must be some good places in MD. Hopefully someone more local to you can help. Good luck. :coolman:

When I saw the title of your thread, my first response was "Guns? Yes."
target masters is in pa next to the DE border...my brother goes there weekly
A buddy of mine's uncle owns target masters... You can rent full automatic weapons to use at the range...
Ok, who wants to teach me how to shoot? Only gun experience I've had is pellet guns and paintball guns (so I'm good at shooting small animals and people lol).
Should I take a class or something, and do I have to have my own gun to do it?

I have always been into guns. Unfortunately, I'm just getting around to owning my own (aside from shotguns, but those don't count).
I will be purchasing either a H&K USP Compact Tactical:
or H&K Mark 23:
sometime in the near future. Both are .45ACP and are very finely built handguns. Just have to test shoot each of them to see which one I like better.
My buddy and his dad have an arsenal (AK-47s, AR-15s, assorted handguns, high-powered rifles, etc) and we go shoot at least 4 times a year. It's always a blast.

Or we could bring our M-16. :rockon: I just need to buy a 9mm conversion kit. They only let you shoot frangible .223 inside which are very $$$$. We had a .22 conversion but sold it due to problems with it. We also have a Silenced HK UMP clone short barreled rifle thats pretty fun. We should head out there one night. I also have a HK USP Match (Lara Crofts guns in Tomb Raider) that I can bring up.

Where is Target Masters? Do they rent H&K handguns?
EDIT: Nevermind. Found it. It's in PA and they have QUITE an assortment of weapons for rent, including H&K handguns :rockon:

They have police trade ins on HK and glocks all the time. Most are unfired or NIB. I bought the mini glock (27?) in .40 for $350-$399. I can't remenber the price but it was nib with an extra clip for under $400. If you guys ever saw the Semi Auto M-60 they had for sale their a couple years back it was my dads gun. He traded it for a NIB m-16 from Tom.

sean, why do you want a 45 out of curiosity?
and further more, why a HK over a glock, or a springfield XD. ive had a USP tactical 45, MK23, and a USP compact 9mm, then i bought a springfield XD9, and it just puts all of them to shame, shoots soo much better, i beat the shit out of it, takes the beating, and never fails. HK is a good gun, but when they get dirty they will start to hang up. i would have to clean the USP every 500-1000 rounds. my XD9 has over 9K rounds now, never a hangup, jam, misfire, NOTHING. loves cheap, or expensive ammo. even eats of the shitty wolf ammo.
sort of like a fancyer glock.
