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.
Young guys should hang out with old guys; old guys know stuff.

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.
The well appointed gentleman can never have too much red wine, too many good books, nor too much ammunition at his disposal.
