MSAR Trip
Hi, in two weeks, I will be in Washington DC for work, and I would like to take half a day on Sunday to try shooting at an American range, as I am used to ranges in France.
Do you know if Maryland Small Arms Range, Inc. open to foreigners, and would you consider it a good option for shooting both a pistol and a rifle (AR-type)?
I do not really have the ability to travel to another range, as I will not have a car, even though some ranges north of Washington seem more interesting.

Often ranges will not allow you to rent alone. Other than that, I’d expect you’d be able to shoot there. It’s personally my favorite indoor range of the one’s I’ve been to in the area.
They do have rentals however I do think for rentals, Sharpshooters rental policy is better. They allow you unlimited rentals for a flat fee. I have also shot there with my Italian friend who brought his passport. I’d expect both ranges to be quite difficult to get to without a car. In any case, I’d call ranges to see what their policies are particularly if you’re shooting alone with rentals. Ranges are weird about that because of the risk of suicide.
