I haven't been a member there for a few years but that 200 yard range was nearly impossible to get onto during the weekends when I was going there.200 yard range are usually less hectic, even on weekends, although the 200 yard range especially is often reserved for matches.
The bickering and politics are only there if you choose to get involved in them. I have been a member since 1981. I saw the BS first hand and decided I didn't need the hassles of being involved. So I bitch about it about the BS, but dont do anything about it. I just shoot there. Hell I even bought a 20 year badge when the sold them to fund the action bays. I have yet to step foot in one of them. Point is that you don't need to get to get involved in it.It seems like it’s the same old same old since I first considered joining. I’m not a fan of politics and bickering.
Agreed. If you just go there to shoot and stay out of the meetings, the only bickering or politics you'll see is on MDSThe bickering and politics are only there if you choose to get involved in them.

It is a good old boy network as stated, but still a nice place to shoot.
i have been a member since 2012. i feel the same way about the action shooting bays. i thought the members would have access to them. but they are only used for events/matches. this is the only thing I would like to see changed and maybe lower the duesI have been a member for over 20 years. Like others here, the only issue I have is with the availability of the shooting bays. I feel the membership was mislead about the availability and usage when the Trustees voted to fund the project. Even now, the proposed plinking bay (#7) is not really functional as range (IMO).

A bit further up in the thread a member of the AGC RSSOP committee posted that I had gotten linked to the old version of the quiz, which is why it didn't align, and also why it didn't tell you the questions you got wrong. They posted a link to the newer version of the quiz.Lol, seriously? They even give you the chapter where the information is located.
What is going on with the plinking bay, is it planned/approved or still being discussed? that's the one that they have been talking about since the beginning that it would be open all the time for those with steel badges?I have been a member for over 20 years.

Other than that, it is a great place to shoot. You have over 30-some clubs to join. Many of us belong to more than one club. I joined Monumental Rifle and Pistol Club over 20 years ago and have served as secretary and president. I also serve as secretary of the Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association which uses the AGC as its home range.
You still have to buy a range badge and take the walk through safety orientation. SG will be along shorty..... @SquaregrouperI get if you are a member of MSI than you have shooting privilege's at the range. My question do you still have to qualify or do a safety class or presentation?
Sorry in advance for the dumb question
SG is the one who did my orientation and walkthrough at AGC - he took time out of his day on short notice to get me hooked up because it was going to be weeks before I could make it to one of the Sunday morning walkthroughs because of my involvement with both the National Guard and my church's praise band. I'll always be thankful that he was gracious enough to get me set up an on my way.You still have to buy a range badge and take the walk through safety orientation. SG will be along shorty.....
Yes if you have not had an active range badge in 2yrs they require a re-orientationDoes anyone know if you had a range badge in the past and didn’t get one for 2 years, do you need to do another range walkthrough orientation before getting another range badge?
Funny how those little lead buzz saws can cut.I believe the proceeds from the steel and target stand sales go to fund the JR programs. I bought a 3/8" silhouette Ar500 (I think) from them a few years ago. It has held up well. The nice thing is that it came ready to hump to down range. Has the holder and 2x4 ready to go. Most of 100 yard line has mounts to insert the 2x4. There are instructions and regs on bringing your own steel setups. Been plenty of "discussion" on here about them.
Make sure you have a spare 4' 2x4 with you. They get shredded easily.
That's probably what I'll do then - that seems to be the "Easy Button" approach.I believe the proceeds from the steel and target stand sales go to fund the JR programs.
