About

Maryland Rifle Club Incorporated is 501(c)(7) nonprofit corporation dedicated to the safe enjoyment of the shooting sports, whether it be rifle, pistol, shotgun or bow.

We are interested in having fun but we always emphasize safety first.  For those who are inclined, we specialize in long distance rifle accuracy shooting and you can learn more about our high power activities by emailing Steve Palmieri at agchighpower@gmail.com.  However, we all enjoy the diversity of our sport and have a number of activities geared toward those who enjoy different facets of the hobby.

Because we are a member club of the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore, Inc., our members have access to very nice outdoor range facilities located in Marriottsville, Maryland.

We have no mandatory meetings or events and we don’t require that our members be members of any other club or organization, such as the NRA.  Our club and all of our events are run by volunteers.

We invite you to check out our club through our various links for more information.

The Ranges

As noted above, our members have access to the range facilities owned and operated by the AGC in Marriottsville, Maryland.  To gain access to the AGC’s range facilities, a person must be a member of an associated club, like MRC, and purchase an annual range badge from the AGC.

The ranges feature two club houses (upper and lower range houses) with full amenities. These two range houses have modern comfort facilities and are suitable for meetings and training sessions.

There are 5 ranges:

  1. The 50-yard pistol range (with 50 shooting stations)
  2. The 100-yard range (with 100 shooting stations)
  3. The 200-yard rifle range (with 10 shooting stations)
  4. The archery range (a multi-station, walking range)
  5. The trap range (with five fields of fire)

Additionally, there is an indoor air rifle and pistol range in the upper range house known as Memorial Hall.
