Come on out to Westford Big Red. At least we have a pistol range.
That's why I belong to three ranges and shoot at bunch more.My club is hosting an archery competition today and tomorrow so the rifle/pistol range is closed.
I am starting to get withdrawal shakes...
It is my firm belief that gun clubs should NOT have archery set ups of any kind. Shooters who like archery should also join an archery club. Eventually the interests are going to clash.
Nah, I don't see that as being necessary. You just need dedicated spaces for both.

Even with that, I have seen the archery clique actually take over the rifle range and basically shut out firearms use.

I stand by what I said. <----- Archers that way Shooters this way------>

Nenameseck was the host to the Rinehart 100 this weekend.
400+ archers from all over the US came to the club to shoot at 3-D targets. One trail with 50 targets of animals from North America and another 50 targets were from Africa.
The event was a huge success and it only happens once a year at the club..
If it makes anyone feel better I will be shutting down the club on Sat June 27th for a Women on Target.
I am glad the shoot was a success. Had I been home today I probably would have stopped by to check it out.
I hope I didn't come across like I was complaining. I just wished I had a place to shoot this weekend. That's all.
Nice. Two of us have seen shooting programs destroyed by archers.The best club I belong to has a large 3-D archery course, skeet, trap, sporting clays, a rifle range and action pistol. I think it makes the club stronger.

What a bunch of wusses to be taken down by archers, you don't deserve to call yourselves gun owners...Nice. Two of us have seen shooting programs destroyed by archers.
I guess your side is still down 2 to 1.
I know several gun clubs that have archery componets and it seems to make them better clubs, as it increases membership and introduces younger people to the sports as there is crossover.Nice. Two of us have seen shooting programs destroyed by archers.

It would be interesting to hear jose's version of what happened.Jose,
not to drift too far from the thread. . . can you explain what happened. I've belonged to 4 different clubs, all with archery and different firearm options (skeet, trap, indoor, pistol, rifle, hi power, etc) and seen nothing but mutual respect at clubs between the programs.
Yeah, his version of things is usually pretty interesting.It would be interesting to hear jose's version of what happened.

It's not limited to Achers, I've seen gun club boards destroy a shooting faction through rule changes. Sometimes it’s one shooting faction attacking another, other times it’s a board member with a personal grudge.Simple. Archers made up the majority of the club. Even though their sport consumed about 95% of the land and I never saw it crowded, they still ended up maneuvering to take over the smallbore rifle range and close it down.
There's never a shortage of jerks to be had in any communityGun clubs can be little feitoms with their own version of ll douche (pun). But it's the same result a faction ends or moves to another club.
