I live in Boston and my boyfriend and I are interested in learning more about shooting. Possibly sporting clays or target range shooting. I grew up in a household with guns and have had some basic gun safety training and have shot both pistols and rifles, but not for about 15 years or so. My boyfriend has never used a gun.
I am basically looking to give him the opportunity to safely handle a firearm, shoot a few rounds and experience different types of guns so we can decide if it is something we would like to pursue before investing full on in equipment, classes and gun club memberships.
Any ideas where we would need to start? Do we need licenses? Is there a range in the Greater Boston area where we could go? Do we need a gun safety class before we can start? Is there a place where you can go for a minimal investment to “try it out”?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
