The following list of firearm shooting ranges and fish & game clubs is compiled by the NH Fish and Game Hunter Education Program staff to help you find out where you can safely practice your shooting skills in New Hampshire. The majority of rifle/pistol ranges are private, meaning that membership is required to use them, or in some cases you can be the guest of a member. Shotgun ranges are generally open to the public, but a higher fee per round of shooting is required for non-members. Many of the membership clubs have special days during the year when the public is invited to try out the facilities. Contact the club for details, or to ask about becoming a member.
