Is it common in Southern Maine or is it something more practiced in the northern part of the state? I assume it applies to vehicles as well.

I used to be really into skeet/trap/5stand (sporting clays are meh) before coming to Maine. I haven't had luck finding any places outside of the llbean place (pre pandemic) I think I might be at the point to join a rod/gun club. Any suggestions? Is Scarborough worth it?

Also while you're here, are there pheasantries within 3h where they provide a guide/dog? I know it's fish in a barrel but I at least go home with something for my effort.

Hello r/MEGuns

Am visiting from the UK in February and was wondering if there are any ranges in or close to Portland where I can rent a pistol and shoot at a range?

Did it in Nashville a few years ago and was good fun

I got to call yotes from a widows walk on top of a barn today. Had one peek out for a very brief second. Can't wait to go back at night.

Hi. My first post here. My husband passed a year ago and left me with "several" guns. I know nothing about them or about shooting or hunting. I would like to learn more about what I have, and learn to care for and shoot a couple of them. I'm nervous about taking them somewhere and would like to find a knowledgeable and trustworthy shop or facility to help me with them. Any recommendations near Bangor? Thanks so much.

I’ve got a couple of ktp 10% off new/used firearm coupons. Free for the taking - just realized they expire 12/31/24.

Sanford area, can meet you nearby.

Need to get a few things for my AR (5.56). Is buying these things from a range like windam weaponry dumb and over priced? Would love to hear your recommendations or if you have some of these things for sale lmk

Many posters in this thread are misreading the statute about carrying in an establishment where liquor is served. It's only illegal to carry in a bar/restaurant if

1. The establishment has posted that firearms are not allowed

2. The person carrying is legally intoxicated (BAC over 0.08).

I cannot post in that subreddit because my account is too new, but they should be corrected

I have a Steiner D2 that i bought a while back. Can anyone fill me in on the best(most useful) way to zero this? The reason it doesn't seem obvious to me is because of the offset. Should I use point of aim/ point of impact at a set distance? Or only zero elevation and leave it offset? I imagine I'll be using it inside of 200 yards, if that helps. Thanks in advance!

Hey so this has come up elsewhere a couple of times so Id love feedback from someone who knows: Correct me if In wrong, but Maine does have public land you can target shoot on (in addition to the two or three public ranges)...it's basically the same public land you can hunt on. If you can find yourself a place that fulfills your target practicing needs in one of these places, you're good to go.

Whether that's the best idea or place during hunting seasons and how much evidence you need that you're just target shooting (on, say, Sundays) if a warden comes by, I don't know....but the land is available..

(I'm assuming but don't know that the state parks listed have different restrictions)

Does anyone have any recommendations or advice of specific outfitters either used or known for guided Elk hunts? I’m looking to plan a trip for 2026 out west to Utah, Wyoming or Montana to do an elk hunt and really looking for a reputable outfitter for a good experience. Cost saving is not specifically something in the decision making, I’d rather put up a little more $$ and have a good experience than save and have a crappy one.

Anyone know of any ranges in Southern Maine that have a 200 yard set up? I am currently a member of a club that only has a 100 yards. Just looking to have some fun shooting farther lengths. Am willing to join another club as well.

Uncle Henry’s is gone so is there anywhere else in maine that you can “publicly” private sale guns? It seems like it was the last place to advertise guns

Found a CZ P10 magazine with an extended aluminum baseplate (with a tape wrap) at a local sandpit range in New Gloucester. If you're in the area, you know the one.

If you're missing a mag, comment with the extended baseplate and tape color and I'll arrange for you to get your magazine back.

Yes, the business is done. Yesterday was the last day the range was open. We have been under control of the bank for about a month and a half now. The shop will still be open on black Friday and the following Saturday. There will actually be some pretty good prices on the remaining Windham Weaponry ARs (300Blk and 5.56 SRCs will be under $500). We believe that Saturday will be the final day but we are honestly in the dark on when the doors will be shut for good. The company and all inventory will be going to auction. We have no details on that yet. Feel free to ask me anything in the comments and I will answer to the best of my abilities. Thanks for the ride y’all.

Windham Indoor is gone. Today is the last day for the range and the store is closing in a couple weeks. What they have left in stock is cheap.

I know many people don't like giving up locations but I figured I'd ask. Looking for a place to go shooting, respectful and will not leave trash ect. I am in Portland and preferably looking for something within 30 minutes, outdoors.

Hi!

I decided to create a Maine chapter of the Pink Pistols as I noticed the nearest chapter was Boston (at the time I created the chapter). If anyone wants more info on this please feel free to message me about it =^.^=
