When my wife and I were driving home from the Pumpkin Shoot yesterday she was saying how much fun it was shooting pumpkins instead of paper targets. I related how growing up all we did was plinking at odd targets. Way out behind my house was an old, old trash heap that had been around for decades. It was all grown over land and we knew the owner. We would search through the rubble and find old cans or bottles or odd junk to set up and shoot. Great fun.
So my question is does anyone know of a gun club that allows some form of informal plinking? I realize that glass is too dangerous, but what about clay pigeons or plastic or cans etc. My wife and I were discussing it today and even if it were a little ride it would be worth it to join just for those occasional weekends. Also is this something that anyone else is interested in.
My thought was that perhaps some of the smaller and more rural clubs might not be as rule bound as those in my area. Also it might be fun to get a few folks together occasionally for some really informal shooting. I am a member of Woburn Sportsman Association and there has been some discussion of a plinking range, but even if they do I know it will, by necessity, be quite restricted.
So does such a place even exist anymore in MA or maybe even NH????
