Hi guys,

I live in Thane city and was wondering if anyone here knew about any good shooting clubs in the area.
I found a couple of good ones in Mumbai near Dadar and Worli but due to work timings and distance to the range I would have a tough time going as regularly as I would like.
So if there is any one from the area who know of any good facilities closer by I would be most appreciative if you could share details for the same as well as any information regarding fees and charges.

Thanks

Hi Dr Shamsher,

Thank you so much for the information. I am not really looking into competitive marksmanship right now so even if the facilities are not top notch I don't really mind. My main reason for joining is mainly because I don't have enough room where I can safely shoot at home and I don't know any open areas where I can go for casual shooting and I do not want to take any unnecessary chances.

However could you please tell me what limitations I would face if the range I join is not an affiliated range to the MRA? I am unfortunately quite unaware of the advantages an affiliated range would have over unaffiliated ones.

Thanks.

Dear blazemaster
PS the dronacharya range is not affiliated to mra
If the range is not affiliated with MRA u won't be able to participate in competitions which are held by the MRA
So if u r looking forward for jus practicing i wld suggest dronacharya is a good sport
But if u have hopes with competition better look for a academy affiliated to MRA
Some academies affiliated to MRA are
Savarkar @ dadar
Olympia @ mahalaxmi
Or MRA itself
Happy plinking
