The Berwyn Rod and Gun Club Inc. was established in 1938 by a venerable group of firearms owners, collectors, competitors, hunters and fishermen. Each was an enthusiast dedicated to his or her respective discipline. The purpose of forming the club was to promote the safe and responsible use of firearms, the preservation of nature, and community service.

The club's name is derived from it's orignal location in Berwyn,MD. Since it's founding, the club has relocated multiple times, first to Muirkirk and then to its present location in Bowie where it has flourished ever since.

Our membership is composed of men and women from all walks of life and from virtually every age group. The club membership is replete with varying degrees of shooting skills, disciplines, and interests. Skill levels of members range from beginners to national record holders. Many members compete in local and national matches in a variety of shooting disciplines. The level of knowledge represented by the members is only exceeded by the willingness to share that knowledge.

BRGC is particularly privileged to count among its membership those persons who are active and retired members of the US Armed Forces. In addition, the club is privileged to include many current and former members of the law enforcement community.

Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at the local Disabled American Veterans hall. Meetings may be postponed if that day falls on a national holiday or due to inclement weather. In those cases the month's second Wednesday is the designated meeting date.

The club's governing body is the Executive Committee. Officers are nominated from the membership and elected to serve one-year terms. All members are eligible to serve after a full year of membership. Elections are normally held at the January business meeting.
