Ed, I dont know anything about the gun clubs in New Hampshire.
But I do know the safety parameters that sporting clays range operators have to operate under if they are going to allow the public to shoot on their ground.
Grouse walks, quail walks, require very careful attention to safety, as you have people walking with loaded guns down the tree lined path.
That works OK in the woods, but on the gun range it carries safety problems with it.
Additionally, the gun knows where the traps are. At least the second time he walks down the lane. So, 20 yard shots with an open choke shot gun that you know where the targets are coming from, they get pretty easy pretty fast.
And that doesnt sell tickets.
Same with sitting in a boat, climbing up on a stand, or any of the other more in usual set ups clubs offer.
Oddly, shooting at incoming driven targets is almost as rare as a grouse walk, because, the clubs dont want clay targets (or their fragments) sailing past the stations. Yet in the UK, a club couldnt survive without them. Go figure.
