For a Sunday morning range day, I stopped by Manchester Firing Line Range. I arrived just before…read moretheir 10AM opening. A few patrons were already lined up outside. By the time my exited my vehicle and grabbed my equipment, staff had opened the doors and starting letting everyone in. The patrons in front of me grabbed 4-5 lanes, so I was easily able to secure a lane; I was loading and making ready to fire by 10:15. They kept my ID for the duration of my range session and charged me the listed rate of $25 for a non-member, one lane-hour fee. Facility seemed well kept and modern. Ventilation worked well; I didn't notice any gunpowder residue clouds wafting around. It also seemed decently sound insulated. The guy a few lanes down shooting his binary trigger AR didn't bother me much.

Lets go put holes in paper!…read more I've been enjoying Manchester Firing Line, they have a good selection of new and used firearm inventory in the front of the store as well as a nice range in the back, one side for members and one for visitors. I do wish that the range's waiver would be valid for longer than 90 days, all other ranges that I go to/have gone to keep the waivers valid for 90, but what can I do? While the entire staff is wonderful, Brandon is great. I keep visiting because of how awesome their staff is, though I do hope that they fix their AC, it makes it impossible to use the range.

I was looking up the location because they were talking about getting together soon. I would rather shoot my bow that shoot my pistol. I'm not comfortable with having the pistol range "Down Range' of the rifle range. There is so much land there. Why don't they have just a rifle range and just a pistol range. Why combine the two? I am sure the club has rules, but so much can go wrong with the way those ranges are setup. Otherwise, I didn't go into the club house so I can't speak of it. I did like that water along the side and one thing I will do with my buddies is to do some fishing there.

When you hear someone with a Southern accent talking about "goin' to the range," the image that…read morepops into your head is exactly what you'll find here. A hidden entrance, a long dirt road, a log cabin-style building, and some cleared ground. They have both an archery/trap range and a rifle/handgun range, but it's all self-directed, which I'm not really used to. We came with friends who are members and knew to bring their own everything. I've never been to a range before that doesn't have eye and ear protection available to rent or buy, so make sure you're prepared before you come. I had a few major safety concerns, which didn't end up being a problem because we were alone. But considering some of the people that show up to other ranges, I'm surprised I haven't heard about any injuries here. When you walk toward the rifle ranges, you are actually downrange. There is a paper sign warning you to look out for people shooting at you. This is terrifying. The path should definitely be widened so you're not in the direct line of a stranger's fire. *EDIT: I heard they're actually working on this. The rifle ranges are a set distance, with lines suspended for pinning targets. There is no pulley system, so to check your accuracy you actually have to walk downrange. If there is someone else shooting near you, you have to interrupt their session or wait. Pulley systems aren't expensive, and they would allow some flexibility in the length of the bay as well. Overall, it's a fun place to shoot because it's informal, but with nobody watching you it's easy to skip safety steps. I'll probably still join, but I hope everyone remembers that they are holding something that can easily injure and/or kill the people around them.

I can't really comment on this sports field for its intended purpose, since I went there to meet a…read moreyoung Rottweiler we are considering adopting and wanted him to get acquainted with our dog in advance. I have an aversion to dog parks (often people bring dogs that have no business being there, because they lack canine social skills/downright dangerous or are carrying some illness that can affect other dogs, and can't be bothered picking up after their dogs. There, got that off my chest, thanks. ) I've been to the ball fields before, years back, when you could take dogs inside the fenced areas. At some point the town changed the rule, so we had to stay in the parking area today. It's quite a big space, at the rear of the property, well back from the road, spanning the length of the main baseball diamond at one end and the football/soccer field in the middle. At the far west end is a smaller T-ball field with a different access from Route 107. In the spring, summer and fall, the fields are all in frequent use by local town and regional sports teams. But in late winter, it's nice and quiet, perfect for our needs. A dad and his son came by for a bit of batting practice. Thankfully I brought long lines so the dogs did have some freedom to safely move around and interact. A very successful venture. :)

I remembered recently my visit to this gun club with a friend and was pleased to find out more…read moreabout it from a long-time member. This members-only club offers pistol and rifle ranges, so you must join to use the facilities. Unfortunately, they don't have a website, but I found their Facebook page [here] (https://www.facebook.com/ecsainc). The club also has an archery range near the clubhouse, though I only saw one target. To get there, drive down Ferry Lots Lane in Salisbury to the end, open the gate, and continue until you see a building on the left behind another gate. I was told membership meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the clubhouse. Attending a meeting might be a good way to learn more about joining. The clubhouse is easy to find once you're on the grounds, but it's only open to officers and special events, which means paying members don't have access to it for general use. This seems odd since members are paying for it. Membership fees are double the regular dues, which is unusual compared to other clubs that charge less or no additional fee for new members. To reach the range, walk to the right of the clubhouse. Some abandoned vehicles were on both sides, giving the area a neglected look. Beyond these is an open field where you can shoot rifles, pistols, and shotguns. There are no clear boundaries between the ranges, so shooters might have to share the same shooting line. Despite some safety concerns, limited clubhouse access, and no bathrooms, the grounds are decent for shooting, especially if you're alone or with a friend. However, the range is closed to all members during hunting season, which is inconvenient.
