Welcome to the web site of the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore, Inc. (AGC), located in Marriottsville, Maryland. The Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore, Inc. was formed on July 1, 1944 when a number of World War II veterans in the Baltimore, Maryland area began looking for a place for recreational and competitive shooting. They organized with several other Baltimore area shooting clubs to form the "AGC".

The AGC is governed by a Board of Trustees, comprised of fifteen voting members elected by the Charter clubs who originally formed the Association. The Board of Trustees meets monthly to act on AGC business. The AGC was chartered by and for its member clubs, and functions and exists to:

• Operate a target shooting range facility offering ranges which meet the requirements of all shooting disciplines;
• Provide hunter and target shooting instruction courses which promote general firearm safety;
• Offer matches, programs, and events which encourage adult and youth participation in the shooting sports;
• Support, encourage, and actively promote the private ownership of firearms for all law abiding citizens.

• A fifty point outdoor pistol range, firing at 25 and 50 yards, with covered firing line — equipped to handle NRA conventional pistol match competitions;
• A 100 yard benchrest-equipped rifle, black powder, and pistol range, with covered firing line — firing at intermediate distances of 25, 50, and 75 yards;
• A ten point outdoor, high power rifle range with covered firing line — firing at 200 yards, with military-style target frames and equipped to handle national match events;
• A four field, lighted, outdoor trap range with automatic and manual trap houses and portable Lincoln trap throwers;
• A 50 yard archery range;
• Memorial Hall clubhouse/meeting hall — with coke machine, pay phone and restrooms (located adjacent to the trap range);
• Lower range house/meeting hall — with coke machine, pay phone and restrooms (located at the 100 yard Barnes Range).

All of the AGC ranges are operated in an absolutely safe manner through the strict enforcement of formal Range Rules posted throughout the range facilities and which all AGC clubs' members are indoctrinated upon joining.

The AGC range facility is open seven days a week — from 8:00 A.M. until dusk on weekdays and from 10:00 A.M. until dusk on weekends.

AGC member clubs' membership comes from many areas in and around central Maryland. They all share a common interest in many aspects of the shooting sports, including:

• Smallbore rifle shooting
• Centerfire & high power rifle shooting
• Black powder rifle shooting
• Precision benchrest shooting
• Smallbore and centerfire pistol shooting
• Slug shotgun shooting
• Trap shooting
• Informal match events as well as sanctioned competitive match events on a local, state, or national level
• NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program
• Hunter sight-in
• Reloading & ballistics
• Firearm safety training and education programs.

We will be continuing to develop the AGC web site over the next several months, so please bookmark this page and check back often. We will be adding additional information on the individual Charter and Associate Member clubs — including contact information and links to those clubs having web sites — and we'll be adding more color photographs of AGC range facilities and various shooting events.

We invite you to take a few minutes to explore our web site. If you have any questions or would like additional information on the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore, Inc., drop a quick e-mail to our webmaster.
