I have heard of a range in the Newbury area that is state owned and free as long as you send in an application and they mail you back a certificate so you can use it (possibly in a Wildlife Management Area). Does anyone know if this place exists and where to find information on it.

Martin Burns WMA. IIRC it does have a "range" of sorts, but I don't know how to get permission. But then again it is public land so it "should" be easy.
