Our club is a pretty traditional club, with trap, rifle, and pistol ranges. The rifle and pistol use wooden frames to hold paper targets, and that is all that is allowed for the most part. Exceptions to that are some metal targets on the pistol range, and "gong" type targets out at 120 yards on the rifle range. Targets on the ground, or any non-paper targets are not allowed ("plinking"). We have some water in one part of our property, so we need to be respectful of that. Our neighbors are great, and many/most are members. We are looking to add a plate rack to make things more fun and easy for people shooting .22LR pistol only. Our range chairman has a plan (from a builder) to put up a little shed type structure and a giant concrete wall to separate this from the existing pistol range.
So, some of my questions are:
1) Are there some other clubs in Central Mass we can come visit?
2) Are you able to show us around, and give us a tour as to how you came to have your particular arrangement?
3) I've seen what was at North Leominster, but would like to maybe visit again to show some people. Can anyone help there?
4) Should we limit it to .22LR only? If yes, why? If no, why?
5) How do you come up with what you finally get? Our "design" came from a builder, who has no real experience or specialty in gun ranges. Then again, I know a lot of clubs do this, and use members to do the work, so need to know thoughts here also.
Thanks.
