I'm interested. I'm so far down on th list I should get a time sometime next year. That's OK. Keepme on the list. And a hearty thanks for your willingness to do this.

Moorvogi · Jan 14, 2020

I've posted the taken/free times and will adjust them as things change. This is going to be a first come first serve kinda thing. Mornings are best, afternoons are fine too but i cant escourt you to the range. It's not hard and there's a map! https://benspelledabc.me/farminvite/ Pick a date, AM or PM. If everything is taken, pick a secondary date am/pm. Send this to me via MDShooters forums. I'll just start filling them in, in the order they are received. You dont have to but, it's also great if you want to include your cell/email and name in the PM sent to me so i know who's who. I wont share the info w/ anyone.

If the times i have you slotted for doesn't work, let me know ASAP so i can update it and let others have a shot at it.

Do you have my PMs from last year?

Swaim13 · Jan 14, 2020

I would love to be on your list as well even as a backup. I generally shoot in the westminster area and have been trying to stretch out my rifles again.

Some of the PMs yes, but not all. Sadly. I've fixed that problem on my end though by editing my website ( https://benspelledabc.me ). We are limited to 300 PMs (sent and received). Most PMs take 4-5 back and forth and info gets scattered about.

Even still, most of the messages even now are just expressing interest.. not a date time (am/pm).

I'm trying to accommodate as many as i can w/o violating my 1 new to me shooter at a time rule. This is done by AM/PM guests.

Wow! What a tremendous opportunity for so many shooters. As a "new to you", I would definitely like to get on any list you can. My new Sako .338 is itching to try something long.

This is a great thing you are doing for the community.

In a month I’ll be resuming “long range” shooting. It’s not really long range, but it’s more than most have the option to shoot.

Starting (Feb 1st) I’ll post an invite to come out to the farm. We’ll shoot gongs and dueling tree from 10-500 yards. Paper closer if you want to practice conceal carry draw.

I only take one “new to me” shooter a week. That’s you, not you and your 5 buddies....

I made this post last year then crashed my motorcycle and never got around to it. The people from last year get first call.

No charge, this is just to help encourage longer shooting. Share what I can and to give back to the community.

Children 9-17 get priority obviously with a parent/guardian.

I’ll post more info soon but I’ll be taking someone up, every other weekend. If you can only do 1/2 day, I might take two up (am/pm).

General location is Westminster near the Carroll County Regional Airport

I echo that. Will be booking with you in the summer when available, later on.

During summer dusk when the temp drops, you may get to service a groundhog yourself (or more) with the .50 I have lots of ammo if you miss on first try

Hoss · Jan 15, 2020

march 28 a.m.

was wondering if this a.m spot is still available, will take p.m. if it is not, either would work. Thanks for the opportunity to try log range shooting.

mat · Jan 15, 2020

Hi, there. I am interested in meeting you and filling up the April 11th PM spot.

I've started filling in the schedule based off PMs sent to me. Its easier for me to stay on top of that way.

I dont have many SECONDARY spots filled. They are there in case someone cancels at the last minute. Things come up, i'm planning it happening a couple times.

Check out the current slots that are available. https://benspelledabc.me/farminvite/

haha I got a "waterskin full of organs" one year when i used a 308 w/ a 110gr vmax at 10 yards. No exit hole.. #jelloInside

As we get later in the year (june/july) the crops get too tall to shoot beyond a couple hundred yards. That's why the schedule is so busy right after deer hunting season.

If you are close to westminster, perhaps schedule as secondary for now on a date?

Moorvogi · Jan 17, 2020

Most invites are marked as confirmed. There are atoll some spots left. I’ll start publishing the secondary openings over the weekend.

The exact address will be given at a later time to prevent both the primary and secondary from showing up the same day. For now, if you want to get an idea of where it's at use: 1 Magna Way, Westminster, MD 21157 for the address. It's a DQ/Jiffymart/Subway that i meet people at and is about 6-10 minutes from that location.

.

So, you're out there by Brownstone? I love that place, very nice area too.

You said you meet at the DQ on Magna Way. If you keep going back, tons of farmland back there. It becomes Old Bachman Valley Rd I think. Brownstone Trading is back there, a gun shop. Cool place, nice owner.

Moorvogi · Feb 2, 2020

First set of invites went great. Productive criticism on describing how to get to the field too. Hahah. He didn’t get lost, all is well.

Targets weren’t too bad but definitely a challenge.

200 yards: shotgun clays to confirm zero enough.
200 yards: 4x6 dueling tree
250-257 yards: shotgun clays 4.25 inches?
538 yards: small torso gong (dvd case size)
540 yards: more shotgun clays.
