The rules are fairly relaxes. Currently Need a sponsor to join but most clubs do."Looking for relaxed rules and an easy sign up."
Strictly speaking just because most clubs require something doesn’t make it easyThe rules are fairly relaxes. Currently Need a sponsor to join but most clubs do.
Your not wrong. However in this thread there are 2 mentions of andover gun and sportsman's club which requires a sponsor and from my understanding has age restrictions for what calibers minors can shoot. Thr indoor range is limited to 45acp no magnum calibers and a 10 round magazine limit. Outdoor range no magnum rifle cabers and a 10 round magazine limit.Strictly speaking just because most clubs require something doesn’t make it easy
No rapid fire, no full auto. I belong to CPFG AND Londonderry, both have their good points. Londonderry: pretty much anything safe goes (sub guns/bump fire, Fudd Free Zone), no sponsor needed, but a 200+ waiting list, and old coots like us only pay $65 a year. CPFG is good too, nice (old) indoor pistol range open 24/7, but a bit pricy at $220 a year.The rules are fairly relaxes. Currently Need a sponsor to join but most clubs do.
Yeah rapid fire limited to 2 to 3 rounds on centerfire on outdoor range due to issues with rounds going over the berm years ago. Rimfire you can rapid fire all you want outside. Indoors rapid fire no restrictions. Just my opinion.....those restrictions aren't that bad considering what other clubs in the area have for range rules.No rapid fire, no full auto.

You’re not training efficiently enoughI burn through more than $220 a week just in ammo
I'm not sure what you mean.You’re not training efficiently enough
I had no sponsor when I joined. In my experience as long as people are being safe, no one cares about mag limits or rapid fire. True regarding no magnum calibers indoors.Andover's can be pretty crowded on a Sunday AM. They do tours there about 8 or 9. Clubhouse has breakfast 7-9 $5. Ask for Harry he might even sponsor.
You don’t need to burn a few hundred dollarsI'm not sure what you mean.

worth of ammo every week to make gains in your shooting goals. The same progress, if not more, can be achieved with a box of 50 maybe twice a month and a f*** ton of dry fire.
Now if it’s just for fun, like the occasional mag dump or trying out new toys, by all means. Nothing wrong with that at all. I just think that shooting more ammo isn’t always a good thing as far as training goes. It’s quality, not quantity.
heProbably best option, there’s 10 round limits and kids can’t shoot anything but .22. But nice otherwise. They have great free classes (women’s, kids, pistol accuracy, etc) too. Don’t think you need a sponsor unless that’s changed.
We’re looking to buy a second home in NH so I’ll find a range up there if we do.
I translated that to ‘he thinks you suck’. LolI'm not sure what you mean.
Your right and almost right, Don't go nuts on rapid fire same with mags. there are rules just some were meant to be broken but, I didn't say that.I had no sponsor when I joined. In my experience as long as people are being safe, no one cares about mag limits or rapid fire. True regarding no magnum calibers indoors.
Yeah. 100 rounds a month isn't going to keep me shooting the way I like to shoot.I translated that to ‘he thinks you suck’. Lol
he
No f***ing way in hell I'm letting a board full of f***ing fudds tell me my kid can't shoot anything but a 22. My son was whacking deer with a 12 gauge slug and a 50 cal muzzle loader when he was 12. He also handled 357 magnum with no problems. He and other kids need a place to practice. Does andover have a thing against kids and hunting or is the board just f***ing retarded?
That was a relatively recent thing if Im not mistaken and I hadnt heard of any incident that would make them put that in place. I always thought they had an over-cautious lawyer that had their ear.You’ll have to ask them.
I probably know the answer.You’ll have to ask them.

220 a year.....I guess that's all relative to how much you actually use a club. I burn through more than $220 a week just in ammo ...the 220 a year I don't even consider.
I have a budget and reload alot of what I shoot except shotgun ammo. About 800 a month sometimes more for what I do yes.Damn, almost $1k of ammo in a month? lol
I wish I had a budget of $1k a month for ammo, that money could buy a LOT of things. Like some land in Kentucky or something lolI have a budget.
