Good guys great place to shoot.
Central MA, member at Southboro R&G with only 100yd range. Looking to get into bolt guns and find a club to use one.
Wife and I considering relocating to Bedford, NH but this thread makes me rethink. I do t want to give up what I have here in NC with Frontline Defense.
That is a change for sure. What is driving you to move to Bedford NH? High property taxes
I currently live in Raleigh and commute to NY for work. If i move i can switch to Boston and drive to work. the property taxes are high but its about the equivalent of my state income taxes so its a wash with the no state income tax in NH. they get you one way or another.
That is a TOUGH drive if you are driving to Boston proper on a daily basis. I live in Southern RI and drive to Lowell, MA 3 days a week. Morning drive is easy but afternoon can get a bit challenging. The drive to Boston is bad both times a day unless you are working off hours.
pmclaine is correct though. NH is a really nice state. More the central and upper part than the Southern part by MA. The southern part is full of transplants. They did to NH what Californians did to CO
Grantham, NH here.
Interested in shooting at Granby in the coming year. A colleague at work had been and confirms the 1000 yard range is open.
Granby Club itself is still open. The range >300 yds is closed. Was a member there until this Jan. Website still shows closed.
*edited for typo
Ive heard rumor that whole debacle that shut Granby down is quite the crime.....a developer wanting land, town official offered big job by developer but declines because it would be "unethical" so his daughter gets job (WTF?) and club gets screwed with for minor permitting issues and a cease and desist order.
Govt top to bottom needs a reset but MA is a one party state and it will never happen.
I was under the impression it was due to noise. The club remained in operation only at a diminished capacity. MA sure has some weird laws/practices.
Noise was one of the excuses although in MA gun clubs are specifically protected regards noise complaints. The bigger issue was a constructed cover at a concrete apron shooting mat. Apparently incomplete permits for a shed roof - fine tear it down if you must and start again but closing down the club is not the remedy.
There was also a developer wanting to buy the property and some collusion with town officials if the rumor I heard is legit.
Sounds like crony capitalism at it finest.
Id like to get further confirmation from anyone thats a member.
Took a class there last June great time. Spoke with Pres of the club for hours in the evening as I camped out there.
Hope they get it worked out.
We opened up a old lane that goes out to 503yd, 22nrl matches and centerfire prs matches are every month till winter. They may have shut down are hilltop position but this doesn't mean we can't see r targets out past 500. Some type of resolution will come shortly, Shooting positions have been the same since the club opened 60 years ago. They can't tell us where we can put our targets as long as we're shooting in the same direction/postions as originally intended. They will lose the case and they know it?
Whats the deal on the talk of the shady town employee and the real estate developer?
Good to hear you are getting a handle on this, great club.
It's true, Developers sister is on the towns board, In the beginning it was all building codes that they said we violated. Now the newspapers are saying it's about noise, Which is what it is. They bought a house near a gun range lmoa
I think they're beginning to realize that no matter what we're still going to run matches, That 1 time a month noise drives them insane.
HahahahaPretty clear cut that they must eat a large tasty dick.
i live in MA but I shot here in NH about 2 years ago, bout 350-400m in one spot. no idea where exactly it was but i heard its all fenced off now. any idea where there are any other places like this to shoot in NH/MA (not member based ranges just sand pits to bring steel to) View attachment 6920957

I've heard rumors that Alder Brook Sportsman’s Association in Littleton, NH will extend their 300 yard range to 1,000 soon.
http://www.alderbrooksportsmensassoc.com
Alder Brook now goes out to 1100 yards
Their website don't state that...you sure?
Yes I live 15 minutes from Adler brook and shoot there most Sundays. They have expanded to 1108 to be exact. there is an additional annual fee of $100 but this is the only place I've found that allows long range shooting 365 days a year
Its a long ass ride but....
I assume they have some sort of qualification to shoot the distance ranges.
Little likelihood they allow guests or some means of day shooting?
Ill Google that which I seek.
