About Us

AAF&G has been a part of the Annapolis community since 1935 and has been located in the Saint Margarets area since 1939.  In that time, we have cultivated our grounds and ranges, membership, and community relationships by providing facilities, education, and training to people interested in firearms safety, hunting, and recreational shooting sports.
