      CZ / Huglu Over/Unders...opinions?

      I've been shooting sporting clays with my beat up yet trusty old 1100, and am toying with the idea of getting a dedicated O/U clays gun. I shot with a Beretta 686#1 Silver Pigeons today and really liked it, but can't really swing the $2k price at the moment. I've heard pretty good things...

      Repairing holes a steel plate target???

      I was at AGC today with my buddy, and we're plinking away at our nice new 1/4" rolled steel target with our .22's (at 100 yd., per AGC rules) and quite enjoying the reactive 'pings'. The guy shooting nearby is asking about my AR build (it's sitting on its case just next to us) and I offer to...

      Shooting on or near the Outer Banks of NC...

      My wife and I be vacationing in the Outer Banks close to Labor Day with several other couples, a few of whom are target shooters (pistol and rifle). Two are NRA instructors. We'll be near Hatteras. Can anyone recommend a range that we might go to? I know I could Google it but I'd rather...

      MSAR price increase

      This has been mentioned deep in another range thread, but I thought I'd mention that MSAR has DRASTICALLY increased their rifle range fees. Previously, the cost was $20 per lane, unlimited time per day, and no charge for a 2nd person. As if May 1, it's now $25 per lane, PLUS $10 per...

      Olympic-style recurve

      Just getting into it myself and wonder if anyone in the board does this kind of archery. FYI I've been shooting at Adelphi Manor Park in PG. RF

      Any good flintlock/caplock rifle kit recommendations?

      I've always wanted to build a Kentucky-style flintlock rifle similar to the one my grandfather had (which was stolen when I was 12), or at least something from the flintlock or caplock era. I've looked at several offers on the internet, but was wondering if anyone here has any...

      any current Cabelas free shipping code?

      "3winter" no longer works...anyone know of a new free shipping code? I'm trying to save $18.95 on shipping shotgun shells...

      good target arrows?

      I want to head out to shoot my new (to me, but vintage 1960's) Bear recurve bow, 64" 45#. I'm shooting targets only, and am wondering what people recommend for good, everyday, target shooting arrows. I'm not competing, so I don't need anything high-end, but I'd like reasonable performance...

      AGC...recommend me a club?

      I'm interested in shooting at AGC, but am daunted by the large choice of affiliated clubs. Can anyone recommend a good one for me? I live in Silver Spring and enjoy target shooting pistol (.22 & 9mm) and rifle (.22 & .223). I also recently started shooting trap and sporting clays at PG...

      PSA upper/lower parts combo for first build?

      I'm going to build out my DGW stripped upper/lower I bought pre-Oct. 1. FYI I am a total AR-building noob and I don't want to break the bank on my build. People here seem to like PSA and the prices are good...I've bought ammo from them in the past. $90 for this combo kit...seems like a...

      Franchi 48/AL 12g...opinions?

      I have the opportunity to buy a 1978 Franchi 48/AL semi-auto 12g, with a fixed mod. choke 28" barrel. It's nearly pristine, as if someone shot a few rounds and then put it in a closet for the last 35 years. Anyone with insight or opinions on the gun's reputation and/or its value, I'd be...

      Restringing a vintage recurve bow...

      I purchased a gorgeous, near mint 1960's Bear Polar, 64" 45#. Any recommendations on where I should get it strung? I'm in Silver Spring, and was surprised that Dick's in Wheaton doesn't do this. Any other advice is welcome, as this is my first vintage bow. Thanks.

      Best deals on 12g target loads?

      My friend and I just started on clays...hope to do both trap and sporting clays. We were talking about splitting a bulk quantity of 12g 2 3/4 target loads, probably something like 1oz #8. Any suggestion on the best deals, either locally or online (i.e. a place that doesn't kill you on...

      Gunsmith near Silver Spring

      Wondering if people can recommend a good gunsmith, as close to Silver Spring as possible, who can look over my Remington 1100 that has a few issues. Though I bought a rifle there, I've heard mixed things about Atlantic Guns in this regard, and was wondering about what other options may be...

      Instructor recommendation at PG Trap

      I'm a total noob, just bought my first SG (used Rem 1100) and want to get some trap instruction. Any recommendations on particular instructors at PG Trap & Skeet? Thanks in advance...

      Can't buy long guns out-of-state anymore?

      While on a business trip to Charlottesville, I finally found a Walmart with the 12g Mossberg 500 Flex I've been looking for, in stock. Told 'em I'd take it; but halfway through the paperwork the clerk says, "Oh, wait, you're from Maryland...the computer says I can't sell it to you!" I...

      10/22 vs. Mark mag speed-loader behavior

      So I have been using a McFadden Ultimate Cliploader for my Ruger Mark II mags and have found that the amazing secret to flawless loading is...it likes to be wet! Toss in the rounds, add one little spritz of Ballistol, shake it, and the rounds slide into the mag like magic. As it dries out, the...

      cutting through DC a no-no?

      A friend of mine went to the NRA range from his house in Silver Spring, taking 495 to 66W. He had his unloaded, legal, MD-registered handguns in a bag in the trunk, with his ammo in a separate bag. On the way back, 495 traffic looks like it's getting heavy, so he elects to take 66E all the...

      Sat. night in DTSS...

      Anything go down about 9-9:30 pm? Several very low-flying helicopter passes followed by lots of police sirens. The last time I heard that kind of helicopter action was the Discovery Channel 'bomber' a few years back. Anyone?
