Trip to Washington DC

[Greg Czaplewski]

Gentlemen,

Once again my wife has invited me to accompany her on a trip while she attends a seminar, in Washington DC this time. Being located in the great Southwest desert, this will be a welcome trip.

While I have been there several times and toured many of the sites, I was wondering if there might be any shooting venues or gun stores within driving distance from the center of DC where we are staying. A drive of an hour to two wouldn't be out of the question for distance.

I often have heard from our east coast friends that there are quaint places to see and I'm hoping someone might share those venues.

Thanks for the help.

The NRA museum is a must see.

Condon's in Middleburg VA. 40 miles West on VA Rt 50. Lot of nice places for your wife to visit while in the town too.

I'll second that !

Hendershot's in Hagerstown MD isn't bad either .

Exactly when are you going to be here, and how many Parkers do you own?

[William Davis]

Tourist things West of Washington Harpers Ferry would be top of my list.

Your in the heart of Civil War territory. The museum at the Gettysburg visitors center has many firearms and other implements of destruction to see. Antietam, Chancellorsville, Bull Run, Fredericksburg, are all within driving distance.

We get in on Wednesday, 11-25 and leave Sunday morning. I only have one Parker, G grade Damascus, 16ga, built 1892, in looks to be original condition. Love it.

Also have a blend of other SXS from Italian to LC's.

Bill Murphy,
To Clarify my plans, I will be arriving Wednesday 11-20-13 late afternoon, leaving Sunday 11-24-13 Mid morning. Appreciate all the recommendations so far and it may be difficult to fit in a sporting clay shoot. I plan to look at an English Setter contact as I am in the market for a replacement for my 9 year old that died this past October.
Always looking for advise from Grouse hunters on who might be a logical breeder to contact. Not too many out in the southwest for sure.

Why not try to hook up with Barack for a few rounds of Skeet? LOL!
