Conference vmsnet::hunting$note:hunting

 I don't belong to a club, and I won't be able to for some time (my wife just
got laid off unexpectedly). It's becoming increasingly difficult to find a place
to shoot within a reasonable drive in the Nashua, Nh area, especially a place
that doesn't charge. :-)

 What does Pelham F&G offer, and how much is it?

 The Doctah

    
    Well Doc,
    
    Pelham is kinda high in price but worth it. There's a one time
    initiation fee of $100. plus $70. for dues, then $70 each year after
    if the fee remains the same.
    
    There's 1000(thousand) members.
    
    There's a new Log-club house that is very very big with everthing a
    modern day club can offer.
    
    Don't quote me but there's something like 6 trap ranges. 4 or 5 skeet
    ranges.  
    
    A 40 or 50 man rifle range out to 300yds. Your station is roofed.
    
    There's 3 or 4 pistol ranges --silhouette ranges a couple of combat
    ranges.
    
    There's an in-door 22 range and seperate club-house.
    
    There's 2 archery ranges one at the club and the other a few miles
    away on 150 or so other acres we own. I think we own over 300 acres
    in total..not sure.
    
    The club is NRA certified and many NRA and state champion shoots take
    place there.
    
    There's also plans to expand into other things as well....
    
    The bottom line is what-ever you think a club should have it does..if
    it's not there it soon will be.

    Oh yeah!! DOC one more thing.
    
    
    I've got to get the schedule posted here for the night shoots of
    Trap & Skeet....
    
    It's open to the public and all you need to pay is 4 or 5 bucks to
    shoot if you have your own shells.
    
    I'll get it posted....maybe we can get together one night a week or
    so?
    
    Rick
    

    Do they plan on adding sporting clays?

         There's extensive information about clubs in the
         LOSER::FIREARMS conference under the keyword GUNCLUB 
         (DIR /KEYWORD=GUNCLUB).

 I'd be happy to do some shooting with you. Maybe I could pick up some pointers
and hit more than my usual 60-80%. :-)

 I'm also interested in doing some shooting with my .270 that I got for Xmas.
It's not quite as easy to shoot a rifle in a sand pit as a shotgun. :-) I've
got to become proficient with it, as my next deer may be a bit farther away
than my first. :-) :-)

    RICK,
    
    	I would very much like to shoot trap one night a week.
    
    I bet dotcha could be coaxed at least a few times anyway.
    
    I will be waiting to here from you as to when this will all begin.
