Gun Shack / Crosswind
is Central Maryland’s most complete privately owned sporting goods store for the
bow and firearms hunter, recreational shooter and fly fisherman.
We also work with local businesses and agencies providing vertical and
confined space rescue equipment as well as industrial fall protection
supplies. Conveniently located on the corner of Main and Center Streets in the
original downtown section of Mt. Airy, the shop has been in the same
location and under the same management since 1977.
This family owned
and operated business originally began in the early 1960’s as a Western
Auto store. Gradually, sporting goods and firearms were incorporated and
the business has become a comprehensive sporting goods store. Although
the business has grown, it has retained its unique down-home friendly
atmosphere. With it’s high ceilings and walls decorated with old
outdoors relics and animal mounts, it represents a feast for the eyes as
you warm yourself on the bench before the cozy wood stove and catch up
on the latest hunting successes or discuss what the trout are taking on
the local streams.
Equally as
important as the complete line of products is the highly knowledgeable
and helpful staff that have themselves spent a lifetime in the outdoors
either in pursuit of fish and game or on the target range. Not only can they provide help and advice
in finding what you need but will do their utmost to locate and obtain
anything that is not in inventory. We can generally get special order
items within three to six days from the excellent group of suppliers and
manufacturers we represent.
So if you need
some Woolly Buggers or Bead-head Nymphs to spend a day in the
Frederick watershed after trout, or a new Winchester .338 for your trip
to Alaska for brown bear and moose, or just need to have new cables and
string installed on your compound bow in preparation for Maryland’s
whitetail season, Gun Shack/Crosswind All Outdoors can meet your needs
and get you outfitted.
