Note: Clubs and Ranges are not part of the volunteer Mentor program. These organizations are included as an additional resource for new shooters. Please see the individual websites for fee and/or membership information.
Note: Mentors are volunteering their time and expertise. New shooters please be prepared to cover ammo costs and range fees as these prices have risen significantly over the last few months.

I am willing to help out anyone with an open mind in the central Bucks Co. area. You can come as my guest to the Bucks County Fish & Game Club in Doylestown, PA ($10 range fee) and learn to shoot pistol and rifle.

Mulligan,
I make the same sort of offer. I spend most of my time around College Station TX (at the moment) but actually live just outside of Evansville IN.
Details are on my blog.

I have an apartment full time near College Station, but I’m a resident of IN. I get to go home for one weekend / month at the moment.

I would love to take new shooters out. I’ve done this several times and it’s always fun for everyone involved.
My name is Jay and I’m in Androscoggin County in Maine. I’m a member at the Durham R&G Club where I can bring one or two guests. If there are more there’s always the back forty.
My email is truejabber@gmail.com

Michele said
Anyone in Saskatoon?
Mulligan said
unfortunately not yet. Would you like to be the first ?
So far all the volunteers are in the US; the closest is probably North Dakota.
I’ll poke around the discussion boards and see if I can find someone in your area.
