Mine generally get their exercise shooting at critters either around my house or at my farm. The gravy made from paper targets tastes terrible!

Left Ohio in 1964 and NEVER looked back !!!!  Been all over the world in the military , retired , still working 40+ hours week .  Finding shooting time is what i consider a valuable asset in my life . Fortunately , i now live 6 minutes from a donated shooting range , (N.R.A. certified) , just outside Fort Fairfield , Maine , compliments of McGillan construction who own the property and structures that we use. Other than that , we have many public wood-lots . The only thing i am short on is available time.

My shooting is done at a local rod & gun club range.  It's a pretty nice setup with a good - enclosed on three sides - shooting shelter.  It's a 100 yard range although I rarely shoot past 50 yards.  I've only lived in Maine a year, now, and haven't found a place to hunt that's within reasonable distance (physical disabilities, wouldn't you know).  Although I haven't hunted that much the past few years, I still like getting into the bush with my flintlock whenever possible.

We have a club range just 10min from the house. There's a 25yd pistol bay and rifle has 50-200yd. All firing points are covered. Only issue, because it's on the back of an active farm, it's only open Fri-Sat-Sun.
