Hello,
I'm fortunate enough to live close to both of these fine clubs (9 miles to HWR&G and 16 miles to IF&G) so now I have the difficult choice of trying to decide between the two. I know the best option would be to join both, but with my lifestyle (three kids, full-time job, freelance graphic design business on the side, racing mountain bikes on the weekends) it's just not realistic that I would be able to spend more than a couple hours a week at either.
As I am new to the North Shore, I honestly don't know a lot about the clubs, but I do know I want to be an active member at a club. My primary uses would be for pistol and rifle range. I don't foresee me getting into trap shooting, or archery and I've never fished, and doubt I'll be picking that up anytime soon. However my eight year-old daughter has expressed interest in archery frequently and it seems the Ipswich club supports junior archery as well as has a junior instructor as a member so that's a real bonus. With the Hamilton club being a tad bit closer to my home it would allow me to hit the range on my lunch break which would be ideal.
Anyway, I'm still completely undecided and would love to hear from any current or past members of either club that would be willing to share their wisdom with a n00b.
Thanks in advance,
Z
