Check the schedule to see if the fishercats are in town.  They play pretty good ball, the stadium is pretty nice, and the tickets are cheap!

+1 on Fisher Cats and MFL.  A short (hour maybe 2) trip up to the mountains or what goes for a beach in New England.

If you head over to the manchester firing line be sure to wear you kevlar. They let any idiot that walks thru the door get their hands on a MG, with little or no instruction.  I would like to see a list of how many times someone has been shot or killed themselves at that place. Its definatley not the safest range, but shit ill still go if its raining.

Didn't they have somebody rent a gun, then commit suicide a fews years ago? The last time I was there somebody shot down one of the range pullies with a 12 ga If you watch the video posted, notice the holes in the walls and ceiling?

ETA: if you go there wear some sort of respiratory protection, the ventialtion is awful, at least the last time I went it was.

Yeah, when the guys in go in check stuff or sweep empties they wear what looks like a rebreather lol.

Everyone has heard about how "just last week" someone killed themselves there, but I've never seen a story on it.

Yeah I just did a search and couldn't find anything but I did hear that a few years back. I'll just go ahead and STFU now.

I have seen the guy with the resp. pro. and been there when the range was active(all lanes full) and the air quality was horrible. If you go there and it's slow it's not bad.

I installed the security cameras there when I was working for a local security company. I recall one day my boss said that an oriental man went in, rented a gun and shot himself inside the range....so it did happen but it was a few years ago.

I went to shoot there a few days after this incident and yes, it happened.  So what?  He could have walked into CVS and swallowed a bottle of pills too.

That was back when it was Wolf (sp?), IIRC, and before the new owner.

Actually it happened under the old ownership, Wolf's and then again a few years later under the current ownership.  If someone wants to off themselves they'll find a way, I guess.

I'm sure they have no problems keeping up with their insurance premiums.  That place is always mobbed, and their prices are ridiculous.  Obviously my opinion is not shared by many!

Once you've breathed in enough of the toxic air in the ranges, the prices seem fine.

If you shoot allot, join the firing line, and then it's only $8 for an hour, and a guest is free (using the same lane).

I shoot there all the time (but more in the winter) , they are friendly and the range is OK.
