Recently moved to southern NH

[jdiggity]

Was/still am a member of MRA in Woburn MA and I'd love to find a place in southern NH, that has member openings. Is anyone a member of a club that has availability, and has pistol and rifle ranges. Indoor and outdoor would be great, but beggars can be choosers.

Pelham fish and game. Best place to shoot in S. NH.

I'm at Pelham too. Great ranges!

Where are you located?

Chester Rod & Gun Club has outdoor rifle/pistol/shotgun ranges and a 24/7 indoor pistol range.

Sorry omitted the most important fact, I'm in Nashua.

Pelham is a short drive, and has about 325 acres of land. Lots of ranges outside and an indoor pistol (pretty sure just pistol) range. Best part is you don't need to be 'checked-out' on each and every range there. Unlike some clubs. You need to qualify for the long distance range (200-600 yards) and the indoor and I think that's about it.

I got to meet the VP earlier this year. Great guy. I was a member of the club back in the late 90's. If I'm staying in the area (unsure since I'm going after jobs all over the country) then I'll be joining again.

This. I too am a member there and I have zero complaints.

Is the 24/7 range mechanically operated or do you have to walk new targets down?

If you don't mind driving a bit, Monadnock Rod & Gun is awesome.

I am a member at pelham. They have a 54 position 25/50/100 range, as well as 4 action pits, a 200 yard range, a silhouette range (mega fun!), and a turning target pistol range 25/50 yards, as well as the recently opened 200/300/600 range. You need to qualify for the 200, 200/300/600, and the indoor pistol/turning target range.

Qaul for the long range rifle is getting a group of 5-10 shots on the target, after showing them you can hit from the previous distance. Qual for the pistol ranges is 8 shots on target strong hand only at 50 feet.

They also have archery, and host a number of public and private events.

Strong hand only? That seems like an odd qualification requirement.

I'm a member of NFGA and being checked out be able to use each range is a huge pain in the rear. It seems every month they add a new rule to the club. If it wasn't for the fact I've already jumped through all the hoops to use all the facilities, I'd jump ship and go to Pelham.

When I was a member of Pelham, they told us, it was an old NRA bullseye league requirement and you had to qualify for each caliber you wanted to shoot.
