| Anyone know of a range in eastern or central CT, that allows rifles and handguns. Doesn't need to be anything fancy. I don't want to join a club really, just shoot. Thanks. |

Blue Trails range in Wallingford. www.huntfish.net/detail.php?ID=2311 |
Only problem is they only allow you to shoot 25 yards pistol, and 100 for rifle. Makes it tough to do any closer, practical shooting. |

I like the owner of Blue Trail. They (David and his wife) do lots for youth shooting and other organized shooting. I honestly don't know how they make a go of it when you consider the long streaches of nasty winter weather when the place is a gost town. If you intend to shoot more than a handfull of times a year it is going to be cheeper to join a club . |

I highly recommend the DEP range in Glastonbury. It's a 100 yard range that allows both pistols and handguns. It's only open Saturday and Sunday (10 AM to 2 PM), and you have to make reservations during the weekday. www.ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?Q=335934&A=2794 |
Sorry, no skeet shooting at the DEP range. You can shoot shotguns using shot or slugs though. Page four and five of the PDF below has a couple of pictures of the range and more info. www.ct.gov/dep/lib/dep/wildlife/pdf_files/outreach/connecticut_wildlife_magazine/cwma06.pdf |
