I might have a chance to get to check out a northern Maine area for a bit and curious as to where to shoot if I drive up and set aside range time. I can see that I won't have a mile long range to play on and all
I checked the goggles and it seems not to show any ranges in northern Maine. Is this the case? Helpfully input please. Area interested in is called Dovefox croft area. Thanks |

That's 3 hours South of me...
"Northern Maine"  If you ever get up North we have a couple ranges - but nothing long-range. They are club based and member only. No indoor anything up here.

How far North is "North". I belong to a nice rifle/pistol range called "Great Farms Rifle Club" in Jackson, ME. That's northwest of Belfast/mid-coastal. Berms out to 300 yard berms with steel targets.

Portland south is now Northern Massachusetts so we have to adjust.
I lived for years in Old Town and didn't consider myself in central Maine. Northern Maine is north of Houlton, in my mind. Heck, Millinocket is geographically central Maine. |

Anything north of Bangor was Northern Maine for years. I drove to Presque Isle every night for a loooong time and looked forward to passing the Bangor mall. Free running from there.
Rangely going northwest was western Maine, not northern at all. Dover-foxcroft was just up a bit and not northern anywhere. We had a 1 mile range in Sumner as long as nobody was working in the pit.

Swing on down some time ill hook you up with a tour. Right by the S&W factory/border crossing. @BoRdErBaCoN |

I'd love to take a spin on the S&W range.

Swung by the factory for a photo-op when we were up to camp over Labor Day. |
