Gardner Rifle and Pistol Club

[matt]

I'm in the process of joining this club. I went down this evening and the president of the club gave me the safety briefing. Very nice guy.

I'd bet $$ it is the ONLY club located in the basement of a city hall! Apparently back in the 1920's the town was building a courthouse/police station and the police wanted a range in the building. The town would not pay for it.

The Gardner Rifle and Pistol club, then an outdoor club, said they would pay for the range so long as the town guaranteed access to the range so long as the town owned the building.

I'll be joining this winter when I can't shoot outside no more.

Is there an outdoor range?

I'll be joining this winter when I can't shoot outside no more.

I joined now for the winter because it takes a month to get the memebership process done.

Hope I see you there!

Is there an outdoor range?

No, just the four indoor lanes. It's a humble place, but conveint for me. I shoot outdoors at Winchendon R&G.

Gardner Rifle and Pistol will be starting USRA pistol matches soon. Lots of formats from .45 to .22 and between to choose from.

Sign up is on the table in the meeting room.

This will be my first time shooting this, so I don't have all the details yet.
