While I should probably post this on a national forum, I've been a member here for a long time and know that this forum knows everything about everything.
Anyway a friend of mine is the great-great-grandson of Brigadier General Odus C. Horney, Ordnance Corps, USA. Obit here...
Hazzard County folks,
While I moved out of MD in 2011, work is bringing me to the Aberdeen area quite frequently. We usually stay in the Belcamp/Riverside area. We're running out of food options so maybe the locals can suggest some new options.
Places we've been lately:

Went by the local benchrest smith/01FFL with 4MDGunRights. Very old school keeps a paper list of guns for sale and I asked to see the Eddystone M1917 today.
Price is $595. I told him I'd let him know Monday once I'd done a little research having seen the gun. I was surprised at the lack of...
Is anyone planning on shooting Bridgeville next month? I plan on picking up the service rifle again this spring after a little hiatus.
There is a 300yd/500yd/600yd Midrange (and F-class) match on Saturday March 29.
That sounds like a great warm up for the season and should be a good...

If anyone was planning attending the DE state HP championship on Saturday or Sunday, please be advised they are cancelled due to a foot of water in the pits.
Hey all, I was in town last week (TDY) but was too lazy to organize a last minute meetup. But I'm back for the early part of this week as well to help clean out what's left of our BRAC'd lab. So I'd like to throw out the idea of a meetup for this Tuesday.
I'm staying/working south of Howard...
Friends, my move date is fast approaching so this will be the last HoCo meetup I'll attend/organize. Fortunately Hyper-W has stepped up to organize future meetups.
I know there was a call for meetups to be held in Ellicott City and I hope there will be future meetups in that town. However...
Just thought I'd share for those interested.
Bridgeville will host its monthly XTC match on Saturday 6/11 followed by a midrange match at 600 yards (F-class allowed) on Sunday.
For those who prefer to stay closer to home, I believe the MSRPA is hosting an XTC match at Ft. Meade on Saturday...
On Saturday, May 14 Bridgeville will be hosting the NRA Mid-Atlantic Regional HP Championship: a 1000 AGG XTC match.
As this is a regional championship, the NRA will award gold/silver/bronze medals to the top 3 finishers. I believe class winners also get a voucher for reduced (50%) price...
Enclosed is an email I (team 2 captain) sent to my club high power chair (team 1 captain) after observing an incident on the line during a match sunday:
The ECI resembled a cable tie attached to a plastic tab. It wasn't designed to withstand the AR bolt closing on it. Some of the older CMP...
Hey all, since it's short notice, I think we'll skip April and postpone to May.
I propose a meetup at PubDog (we've been there before and we like it) on Wednesday, May 4 at 6 PM. The place is small, but I'll try to reserve the back corner table in advance.
It's that time again. I've been a little slack, but wanted to give a good two weeks notice, so it looks like we can squeeze in a March meetup on Thursday the 31st.
By consensus of the last meetup, Union Jack's in Columbia (by the mall) is the proposed location.
I'm suggesting a time of...
