No nfga has a 600 yard range...hundred yard range... action pistol ten yard pistol...trap and archeryThey are just down the street from me. I was under the impression that they only shoot pistol and shotgun.
Huh that's weird the guy running it was cool as hell when i was there a few years backJust watch out, IIRC that was one of those clubs that turned into a drama fest. There was an IDPA group or something that dumped them because of fuddism, not sure if that situation has evolved or not.
I think that was a long time ago. There was also some weirdness going on with the leadership of the IDPA group, so I'm not sure just where the blame lay.Just watch out, IIRC that was one of those clubs that turned into a drama fest.

Maybe they've resolved that issue or got rid of "the problem", usually with most fudd deals its one or two people that ruin things. I just know Nashua used to attract lots of "MA loop club style" complaints around here.Huh that's weird the guy running it was cool as hell when i was there a few years back
Honestly it was my first club other than the place that shall not be named in worcesterMaybe they've resolved that issue or got rid of "the problem", usually with most fudd deals its one or two people that ruin things.

You had to qualify again every other month or they held qualification every other month?Honestly it was my first club other than the place that shall not be named in worcester
But the only thing that was a little annoying was the various quals...down south they're like heres a 1200 yd range do your best to keep it on the land
Up there it was like qual at 1...then 2/3 then 6. And it was like every other month
But the folks were nice enough
I didnt shoot trap tho... thats where you usually see the fudders
They held the quals like every other month once you were in you were inYou had to qualify again every other month or they held qualification every other month?
I am not against clubs qualifying people. But sometimes it is needed...
Example, I was at a 300 yard qualification a few weeks ago. They asked everyone to bring rifles sighted at 100 yards.
First part of the qualification was shooting at a 12" plate at 100 yards. At least 2 people couldn't hit it.
The club was nice, got them on target then took them to the 300 yards. Imagine that dude showing up to a 600 or 1200 yard range with homes near by.
At Granby one day. Some kids show up with a very nice Tikka in 6.5cm. They wanted to shoot at the plates going out to 600 from the lower range. There was a range Nazi around that yelled at them and told them they could only shoot out to 300. They put a big paper target at 300, their groups were around 8" (for the good ones, most were 10"). Their rifle wasn't sighted in and they wanted to go straight to 600.
I am all for letting people do whatever they want, and if a range is in the middle of nowhere, f*ck it, who cares of rounds hit rocks or go high. But most rifle ranges in New England are close to homes, and most gun owners are horrible shots.
I qualified on the 100y range and still have to go back and qualify at 600. The catch-22 is how does one get any practice at that kind of distance without access to a range that far out? I've never shot out that far so when I go to qualify it'll be a first
You know they make glasses right100
200
300
are you shit’n me
i cant SEE that far, never mind being on target
i’m happy to be on paper @ 25’ ( yes that’s FEET, not yards)
I’m a belly gun guy ( Jack Ruby style ) at this stage of life
it is what it is
Right then shoot at 10 yards338 lapua ....you really need to finda 1 mile range.
Still have other considerations but stacking bullet holes is a great start.I am not a rifle guy but I thought there were targets that you could purchase that you put at 100yds and it would simulate what the target would look like at 500yds or something like that.
Yes, but there are plenty of things you can't simulate at 100 yards.I am not a rifle guy but I thought there were targets that you could purchase that you put at 100yds and it would simulate what the target would look like at 500yds or something like that.
I just looked at their website, it seems you can join without needing a sponsor, if you go for an in person interview. I'll probably do that, as It's pretty close to me, and I'm not in any other club right now. I saw the $150 initiation fee, but not the annual dues.As usual bunch of BS but no strait answer. Can anyone answer my question please? Merry Christmas!
No no... much easier to bitch even though the second post said reach out because i didn't need a sponsor...I just looked at their website, it seems you can join without needing a sponsor, if you go for an in person interview.

The question was not how to get in. The question was about a sponsor. With sponsor you have much more chance because all ranged are overloaded.No no... much easier to bitch even though the second post said reach out because i didn't need a sponsor...

Ohhhhh THANK YOU! I didnt check. I assumed upto 50bmg... If they dont allow it its dumb.I don't believe 338LM is allowed at Nashua.
It's called a Highpower Rifle Range, not a sniper range.@PatMcD you ARE right....... they call it a sniper range.... pathetic......
