Trip to Washington DC

[William Davis]

Another day trip out of DC is East on Rt 50 over the Bay Bridge to Easton. MD. Albrights is a good shop, lot of new shotguns but often has nice old doubles, Easton St Michaels and Oxford are all worth a visit. Maritime museum at St Michaels in particular.

I'll vouch for that trip - and your wife will love Easton.

Actually, the PG Skeet and Trap facility is "on" the NASA property, a section that is a chain link fence away from rockets and bombs! It is a wonderful clay target facility. My gun clubs are about 35 miles directly north of the White House. They are not always open to the public, but have many public events. The gun show schedule is variable, depending on whether you tell me when you are going to be here, or not. The National Firearms Museum is a must see, for more than one day. It is open every day, and is free, with a cafeteria for lunch, and a range, if you care to shoot.

Greg, a good shooting venue would be the Prince George's County Skeet and Trap Center about 1/2 hour north of Washington just off Rt. 295. It is across the street from the Goddard Space Flight Center. This is a great course and they offer SC ($22 per round of 50), trap, skeet, 5 stand and wobble trap (all $6 for 25). Check their website.
Good shooting and enjoy your visit, Tom

If you decide to travel to Middleburg VA, in addition to David Condon Inc. (located right on Main St. to the left as you enter town), do NOT miss the National Sporting Library and Museum of Sporting Art. Go west on Main St. and turn left just after the Southern States Store (also on the left). The Library and Museum are on the right about a block and a half. Look for the stone courtyard and the great sculpture of the Civil War Cavalry Horse in the center of the courtyard. Both are wonderful places!

Try the Decoy Museum in Harve de Grace- just up I-95 from DC. The crab cakes anywhere in town are superb as well. There are lots of decoy carvers in Harve de Grace- decorative as well as working wood decoys. You will have fun there.

Greg-

Does the replacement have to be an English Setter? I can put you on a good Brit breeder iin south Jersey but not a setter.

Dennis,

My wife is sold on the setters, and I am pleased she takes an interest in the dog part of my shooting habit.

Thanks for your thoughts

Sorry I misaddressed the last reply.
