It’s funny, as one who was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Long Island folks are always surprised that I love to shoot. I grew up going to summer camp in New Hampshire where I became addicted to target shooting (and hiking). Anyway, over the past few years I’ve been a semi-regular at Prince George’s Trap and Skeet located at 10400 Good Luck Road in Glenn Dale, MD. Since I sold my car I took a quick 15 minute metro ride up to College Park and a friend picked me up at the station, five more minutes by car and we were at the range.
Trap shooting reminds me a lot of golf. You are competing with your friends but also really competing with your self. Each ticket costs $5.50 and you get 25 shots at a clay target. After every five rounds you rotate a spot. You simply say “pull” and a target is launched. After everyone has shot five times you move one position over.
If you don’t own your own shotgun you can rent one at the range for $8 and it costs $7 for a box of 25 shotgun shells. It’s a ton of fun, but be careful it’s very addictive! You can find more info including directions on their Web site here.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
