Horst & McCann

Horst & McCann is the most family friendly, pleasant, relaxing, safe, indoor shooting range I have been to… and I’ve been to a LOT in 40+ years of shooting. I have never seen dangerous or arrogant behaviour while I was there, all of the staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The range officers keep a low profile but you know they are there, if anything inappropriate or unsafe was occurring I am sure it would be corrected.

I recently purchased a fire arm and every question I ask the employees they are always helpful and nice. I have never had a problem I had the gun jam and the man in the range helped me quickly. It’s a good atmosphere and range price is a good price.

Much better then it was before the new ownership but I 100% agree with chuck s. (scroll coments). Pay ALOT for alittle not worth it. Elk neck rules $ 10 shoot all day

Excellent place! Service was wonderful. Instructors will help you with any question you have. Perfect for beginners wanting to learn.

My wife and I bought one of their discount deals and enjoyed our time. I thought it was more of a discount than it was, but it sounds like it only got us a safety class that lasted a couple of minutes. After that, we were basically on our own. No issues during our visit, not that we frequent firing ranges, but it offered something different so I can’t compare to other places.

Came here as a stop on a mini road trip. I found them on Groupon and my friend has never been shooting so we decided to try it. I’ve shot once before so we are both beginners. Jameson helped us out and made everything very simple and easy. The experience couldn’t have been better for a first timer and a newbie. Jameson made sure we knew how to operate the gun and watched us shoot a few before letting us be on our own. He ensured we were safe but also that we were relaxed and having fun. I would def recommend coming here.

My girlfriend and I hadn’t shot before and shot for the first time today. They were extremely friendly and helpful. We used a groupon and it wasn’t expensive. Would definitely recommend it. We plan on going back.

I took my father here for his first time at a shooting range and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They ensured that we felt secure and welcome. They had a variety of options for people who were just starting out and were helpful regarding pricing, etc.
The safety personnel inside the range was a little distant at times we needed him, but otherwise a really wonderful experience. I recommend this for newbies and those who just want to give shooting a try.

I used to frequent this range very often, and really liked it compared to other indoor ranges I frequented in Maryland. It wasn’t very expensive and they treated you right. However, as time went on, I noticed that the prices suddently jumped and a few of the employees began to have an attitude with the clientele. I understand dealing with noob shooters or people who are immature with firearms is frustrating and requires that kind of attitude sometimes, but dealing with everyone like that is bad business. Anyway, after the prices went up and the attitude worsened, I stopped going for the most part.
The Good:
–Decent selection of rental guns
–The older gentleman who is often the range captain is very helpful and knowledgeable. I wish more employees were like him there.
–The range itself isn’t set up bad, but it is very old and worn out.
–They allow some shotgun and rifle calibers, provided you have the proper ammo
The Bad:
–VERY CROWDED, or at least much of the time. I have always had to wait to get a lane on the weekends.
–Expensive ammo. I used to like the 9×19 German surplus ammo they used to stock, but when that ran out, I stopped buying ammo there.
–Many of the employees act as if they are God and you are an idiot.
–Very little sales stock
–Range time has become very expensive
The Ugly:
–The range equipment is worn badly, but it still somehow works.
–Probably the worst thing about this place are the people who frequent it. I have seen tons of dangerous activity on the range. Younger shooters (late teens/​early 20’s) double fist hanguns, rapid fires, etc. I have seen very few shooters who get corrected on this activity (always the older gentleman who’s range captain who does this). Many of the shooters who use this range routinely practice idiotic activity.
Not Recommended. For an indoor range, go to Freestate Arms in White Marsh, or the outdoor range in Elk Neck.

This is a nice range but can get expensive. Also, it’s crowded on Saturdays!

Went to H&M to train handgun shooting with the wife. Have been back for transfers, purchases, etc. the staff were very friendly, and it seemed to me that the manager/​owners son also worked behind the counter (I could be wrong). What I found impressive was that the boy was kept in constant check over how serious a business he was in.
Customers were flowing in: husbands/​wives, shooting buds, boyfriend/​girlfriends, father/​daughters… All smiles. That’s good enough for me.

I came here with some friends due to a Groupon. When we arrived, they gave us a choice of a few guns, then we waited for a tutorial. They showed us how to safely hold & load a gun, prior to our shooting time. They took their time and made sure we were able to fully understand the procedure. The indoor range was great. There was a safely officer who was available if we had questions. It can get quite loud (depending on what guns are being shot), and there is additional ear plugs you can buy to wear under the provided ear protection. Overall an enjoyable experience.

My husband and I went to shoot there for his 40^th birthday. Not only were the staff friendly but informative. We attended the short gun safety session. Never have shot before, I was a little nervous but I was put at ease by the thoroughness of the instruction. The range was well kept and clean. I was very, very pleased with our experience and although a very long drive from our home in Baltimore, we will be back!

Pretty average, aesthetic and size-​wise, for a shooting range, but the staff are amazing. Really helpful and committed to making sure you get the most out of your experience. Mandatory intro session for first-​timers — which I think is as much for their peace of mind as it is for everyone else’s — and a staff member in the range offering advice and tips if you’re interested. Overall a great experience.

I had purchased a Groupon deal for a shooting session for 2 and waited until a couple of days before it expired to use it, but finally got around to it and now I have to wonder why I waited so long! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve shot anything, so I was a little hesitant going in, but these guys did a great job of helping me choose the right firearm, gave great instructions, and stuck around long enough to make sure we could handle ourselves on the range before leaving us alone. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because their location isn’t really all that convenient, over an hour from home for me, but the experience was great. I’ll definitely go back when I have some free time!

Living in Bel Air, MD you find out quickly that there is nothing to do beside the lame nightlife scene and lack of good restaurants. So I decided to check out some guns at Horst and McCann. It is really convenient for those that do not own a fire arm such as myself. I enjoyed my time here trying out the 40 glock, 22 LDR and a shot gun. Note, it can get pretty pricey so bring your wallet. I will def be back!

you know it’s a default range at best (i.e. it’s close and will do in a pinch), I was doing some training drills for competition last time and I was told «no holster fire» (I am a firm believer that if you don’t train right with no stress, forget it when stress is added to the equation, you’ll shoot yourself), it isn’t that cheap either. Overall, It isn’t a real shooter’s ranger, more of the occasional shooter.
Some of the younger guys at the desk are cocky and arrogant, I do however, recommend the classes with Wes.

Had a great time shooting some stress outta my system! It’s a clean place with a really friendly staff that took their time to teach us how to shoot «like a boss!‘
Will definitely go back and shoot some bigger boys!

Sometimes you just wanna get out of the house and shoot some shit. With two feet of snow still on the ground, the indoor range was the answer.
The details:
–They have a good selection of guns to rent or you can bring your own.
–They sell ammo and I believe the hourly range fee is based on whether you use theirs (something like $ 8/​hour). If you’re firing a shotgun, it has to be a heavier shell load or slug. They explained that the smaller loads could bounce back indoors.
–There was a sign that said gun rentals are free on Monday. Same goes for college students on Wednesday and the women on Thursday.
–Ear protection and glasses are free to borrow. I would recommend bringing a pair of earplugs as well to wear under the ear muffs. Being indoors, it’s obviously much louder than an outdoor range. Also since someone could be firing a shotgun indoors, it can get loud.
The big difference over other ranges was that everyone was polite, professional, and helpful. The place is about shooting and nothing else. Some stores and ranges feel the need to politicize everything which does nothing but keep beginners away. I came on a Saturday morning and there were actually all ages there, an elderly couple as well as a kid who looked to be about 10 with his father.
Everything was comfortable, safe, and clean. Worth the drive from the city and there’s a Wawa nearby for the ride home.
