Hello Folks
With the unwavering prices of indoor range fees for non members, I can't justify not being a member of some sort of rod and gun club any longer. And it's something I put off for too long.
Many here have suggested I join a club to have wonderful access to outdoor ranges. Which I want. Something about being out in nature that makes it funner. And more zenful and tactile.
My musts for the range aren't too much, but the range must
1. Have an outdoor range open to members all year.
2. Allow Rifles
3. Allow Archery
That's about it.
I really just want a place with an outdoor range. Set up your own targets. Shoot them with whatever you bring. Clean up. Pack up. Go home.
Preferably free after a membership.
Has to be in the Fall River, Taunton, Somerset, Swansea area.
I was looking into Fall River rod and gun. But sadly they don't allow rifles and they have a dating system in place that only lets you do certain things on certain days. With my unpredictable work schedule. I'm not sure I could be available to do archery on the days they devote to archery days. I'd rather more just show up on anyday and be able to do the type of shooting I need to do.
I have been now looking into Taunton Rifle and Pistol. Not sure if they allow archery at all but I don't see why not. Considering archers aren't much of any bother to a shooter so long as they practice the fundemental safeties and keep it down range.
Their outdoor range seems to be lovely. And exactly what i'm looking for. Open field, wooded area. Free of b.s. A place you can unwind and just shoot.
Any outdoor ranges that allow what I need? I was going to just bow hunt in freetown forrest. Which I might still do. But it'd be nice having a good place to practice as well.
The range doesn't have to be 24 hours. Sunrise to sunset is perfect. But I would prefer it be open year round. I'm a new england boy and I don't mind the cold.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
