Maine Gun Clubs

[frozenhawaiian]

first post I know but i may as well chime in. The maine maritime range may as well be removed from the list. it's been closed for several years, as we're told by academy management due to too much lead, inadequate range ventilation and lack of a range master, it was a .22 only range. we have a shooting club on campus now and we've been trying to get the range reopened but it's unlikely.

 

[Gaffer]

Falmouth Rod & Gun has been closed since last March due to abutter complaints. They have gotten all the engineering to update and make all ranges NRA safe but it takes time and lots of money to meet the requirements. The last I heard the price was in the 6 figures. They are dedicated to make it back into a working safe club.
They certainly will accept donations to help them pay for the needed work that included lots of environmental upgrades and raising impact and side berms to meet safety standards. Unfortunately the rifle range has a deep gully on one side that prevents putting up an earthen berm. That will require a concrete barrier of blocks that won't come cheap. All donations accepted. The blocks are $75 each and they need 350 of them.

The Bluehill Riffle,Pistol Club url is incorrect, it should read www.bluehillrpc.org we also have a face book Page too.

As a member of the York County Fish and Game in Lyman I want to make a minor correction, our club is not open to the public except during organized shoots. Our membership is cheap and we welcome new members so don't let that stop you from joining

Hello , Mike in Maine - building a house not far from Lyman , Maine , and would like to join your club this fall . Could you provide a contact number and time to call , or directions to your club
for a potential new member ? .

 

[Meanie-14]

I'll see what contact info I can get for the Lincoln County Rifle Club.

And a little over five years later, here it is! (Hey, I've been busy. And I think they just got their Website up this month.)
<Lincoln County Rifle Club (LCRC) | A club for shooting enthusiasts>

Directions to the range, updated safety rules and a lot of other good stuff is available on the site. I believe this year is the 80th anniversary of the club's founding.

Nobody pointed out the difference between "MD" and "ME" to the guy in post #28? Wow, you guys are wicked polite.

 

[Bfshooting]

Hey does anybody shoot 3-gun

 

[ChrisN]

Hey does anybody shoot 3-gun

I do. You have to watch the club schedules closely to get in on them. Hampden had some last year. And a rain out this year. Androscoggin had one but it was limited entrants. I went to a few at Pemi, NH last year and one (so far) this year. Waterford used to have them but I heard they weren't real 3 gun, just one gun per stage

 

[dannyt]

There is also Lisbon Fish and Game, Lisbon ,ME: http://lisbonfga.org/

Hello Maine shooters, are there any public ranges near Fairfield ie. Augusta? My Dad and I are going to the Poulin auction and wanted to shoot while we're there. A Google search found a bunch of skeet only public ranges but we'd like to shoot handgun and rifle too.

Hello Maine shooters, are there any public ranges near Fairfield ie. Augusta? My Dad and I are going to the Poulin auction and wanted to shoot while we're there. A Google search found a bunch of skeet only public ranges but we'd like to shoot handgun and rifle too.

There's the public range in the Summerhaven pits area in Manchester, which is the next town over from Augusta. Unfortunately, while I know how to get there if I'm driving I don't remember any of the road names so I'm not actually much help here, but perhaps somebody else is familiar with the spot I'm talking about and can chime in with directions. It's basically just an open area with a dirt bank backstop. I've only shot there a couple times, I live in Wiscasset so it's a little bit of a drive for me, and the lack of what I consider a defined firing line makes me uncomfortable shooting there when other people are present since they tended to be sort of "all over the place" with regard to their positioning.

 

[radarbob]

Howell's Gun and Archery, 81 West Gray Road, Gray, ME is going hammer and tongs on building their new indoor range. Not quite sure when it'll be finished, but it's coming right along. There are going to be memberships, but one can also go and shoot by the hour. The price they quoted me per lane per hour seemed reasonable, and if you went with a friend you could split it. No. is 207-657-2324 for more info. Unfortunately, the coffee shop, home of really wonderful homemade pastries, has closed. Darn!

 

[kayak1]

Need to add https://wragclub.com/ to the Maine club list.

From the website:

Welcome to the Wiscasset Rod and Gun Club
794 Gardiner Rd P.O. Box 18 Wiscasset, ME 04578

We meet at 7:00 p.m. the third Thursday of every month in our Route 27 clubhouse. Prospective members are welcome to attend any meeting.​

Thanks Bill

Penobscot Longrifles in Stetson, Maine (Bangor area)

There is also a National Muzzle loading Rifle Association muzzle loading club in Stetson called "The Penobscot Longrifles."

It's about 10-15 minutes SW of Bangor.

They shoot the last Sunday of each month. Contact Bob Frappier in Stetson, Maine for info (don't have his number).

Covered line. 25. 50, 100 yd range. Mostly M/L rifles, but they will shoot shotgun (blackpowder/pyrodex only) or pistol if you can talk a few other shooters into it for the day.

They also hold "Wood walks" on the grounds, which is a practical "shoot from the possibles bag" type of competion. They shoot through out the winter, so give them a try.

I don't think they are holding shoots anymore.

Thanks Bill

Norway-Paris Fish and Game is a little bit of a haul, but also goes out to 200yrd. They do a ton of trap shooting if that is your thing as well.

 

[DrBurnsides]

Is anyone here a current ,member of Scarborough fish and game? My company won't let me leave the state.. I am in need of a sponsor..

Many thanks!
