I recently moved back to maine and am looking for a shooting range in southern maine. Preferably something within 45min of Brunswick. I would like to find a place without overly oppressive rules such as requiring you to attend meetings (I don't have time for that due to work), have a sponsor (just moved back and don't really know anyone who shoots around here yet), or have rules against rapid shooting or other perfectly safe shooting practices.
Basically I would like a place that I can pay a yearly fee so I can go shooting in a safe manner with a friend or two whenever I want during the day. No other strings attached. So far, I have been unable to locate such a place. Every range I have found listed on the internet requires you to attend regular meetings and have a sponsor.
A gravel pit or something would be great too. If anyone has contact info for someone with a sandpit who is open to people shooting at it, PM me.
I enjoyed being a member of Capitol City Range while I lived in Augusta. You just have to mail in an application and meet with one of the range officers for an orientation. The price isn't bad either, $20 first time membership fee and $50 for the entire year. I would imagine there is probably something closer to Brunswick though.
