Any chance of hosting them somewhere in state?

 

[DrRansom]

Great question; I think it's a possibility. This is the first time that we've ever worked with this outfit, so this is the trial run. If it goes well, and there is enough interest, I would certainly be open to hosting the class wherever there is enough interest.

That being said, though, it is very difficult to find rifle ranges that allow night fire, and I haven't found any yet in MA. Echo Valley is a fantastic venue.

+1. As long as it's within a 2-2.5 hour drive of Boston. Just don't feel like flying with all the equipment.

 

[DrRansom]

Ok, will look into this for the future. Any range/facility recommendations?

Good input guys. Will look at hosting something local once the content is established.
