Last I knew preban mags were fine if you had a mass permit, Post bans were out permit or not. FOPA states you can travel thru any state as long as your legal where you start and where your trip stops
So op wants to shoot uspsa in NH, and he gets 30 posts about shooting in MA. Way to go NES.
Pelham is likely your best bet.
I also thought that was interesting. Although, if shooting in MA weren't as difficult as I had originally thought (appears it is) I would have been open to it. Though as with most other people I've talked to, there are too many laws with too many interpretations to even make the risk worth it.

Nick,
Glidden is wrong too wrt handguns. None of us are perfect but he doesn't take criticism well and trash-talked Jason Guida (prior FRB Director) when I asked him to clarify this point in his seminar in 2014. It is a bogus exemption due to the fact that no state meets the requirements laid out in the exemption wrt issuance of LTCs (or equivalent). Whether this is due to poor grammatical wording of the law or an intentional attempt to make it look like something it isn't is open to speculation.
Sounds like a chance not worth taking--taking any gun into a state whose municipalities might arbitrarily choose not to recognize FOPA and where the individual right to own firearms is not recognized anyway. Not worth potentially losing one's freedom.
IIRC Pelham and Pioneer run matches in NH. I think Pioneer does Steel Challenge, too.

Thank you by the way. Because of your post I looked up the Pelham gun club and contacted Craig, who's going to take care of me.
I know you are looking for USPSA, and I get that, but Pioneer runs IDPA and Steel Challenge and they do a good job with the matches they put on.

Where is Pioneer? I'm certainly open to the different options. I'm not dead set on USPSA.

I think Pioneer is doing USPSA this year as well, at least according to their website... http://www.pioneersportsmen.org/disciplines/uspsa

I wouldn't mind trying out one of these competitions at Pelham (my club range).
FYI, a gun shop by me told me if I have my MA NON-RES LTC ,that it was OK to carry my pistol with standard cap 17 round (high cap in MA) in MA because in my home state of NH it was legal. I thought that was dangerous info to give out. I wish it were the case, but it's not.
