I live in lower Westchester, NY. Shortly after I picked up my new Scattergun Tech 870, I found that none of the local ranges would let me pattern buckshot.
I went to Bear Moutain in NY and Blue Trail in CT. Blue trail doesn't allow buckshot because they are afraid, with good reason, that their target frames will be destroyed. Bear Moutain doesn't allow buckshot because in NY, you can't use buckshot to hunt. Bear Moutain also won't let you load more than one round at a time in your rifle or shotgun.
I'm looking for an informal shooting range, free from unreasonable restrictions. Does anyone know of such a place, public or private, that I might visit or join?
