Anyone know of a black-powder range near me in Damascus? Frederick ok too.
I second Cresap. Open to non members on weekends, not to pricey. Obey the range officers and you will be fine. They don't permit double taps, which I am ok with. Years ago my Garand developed a defect (has since been repaired), and was firing two rounds with one trigger pull. The RO was all over me and thought that I was double tapping. I demonstrated the defect, and the RO politely said to put away your Garand.Cresap?
Why don't you belong to the Damascus IWLA WAC?
Anyone here a member of Damascus IWL? If I could get a sponsor I would join.
You only have to work the first 2 years. After that, it's all voluntary.
Good deal. I would have been happy to sponsor you, but all the better you have someone who knows you. I'm only 12 minutes away myself.Yep I am going to join. I got a sponsor too so I am all set. I'll get a family membership so me and my wife can go. The place is very close to me anyway (<10 minutes). I actually don't mind the volunteer work.

*****I'm teaching one of the classes there tomorrow. Nice place.
No problem. Yes, she doesn't need an hql to shoot. Lots of people, including me, have had guns before the hql BS.Sadly it is 4/5 before the next meeting and the end of April for the next range orientation. But once I am a member I'd be happy to shoot with you.
Can my wife shoot without an HQL?
Try and keep Jean awake, will ya?*****I'm teaching one of the classes there tomorrow. Nice place.

Once you become a full fledged member(no longer a probie), you will receive two guest range passes, which means you can bring two guests at any one time. However, I believe you can only bring the same guest no more than twice a year. At least that's how it used to be. I don't know how strict they are about enforcement. I try not to bring two guests at a time. You'll spend the whole time making sure they don't screw up. Also, it used to be you could bring your wife or family member(from your household)more than twice annually on your guest pass, but that was how it was 25 years ago when I joined. You'll get all that info in your range safety class. Max may be able to fix my errors here, since he is an RSO and instructor.Crap ok. Well I'll get her on that. What about out of state shooters? My brother in law comes from PA and would like to shoot there with me when they visit. He has a PA CCW.
You do not need an HQL to shoot there. Just take the range orientation and you can go whenever the ranges are open. Are you an MD Hunter Safety Instructor? We need more instructors and teaching there qualifies as a conservation credit for work hours.
