& Pistol Club

Web Info
Directions:
The
club range is located 5 miles north from Augusta, on the New Belgrade Road
(Routes
8/11/27) just prior to the Sidney town line (next to a cemetery, across from
the
Summer Haven Road). Traveling north or south on I-95, take the Belgrade exit,
turn
right on the New Belgrade Road, go for 3 miles. The club has a large red &
white sign on the on the right, located next to the driveway.
Coming
from down east area
(Belfast,
etc.) come into Augusta on Rt.3 and turn left
onto
Bangor St.at the very end. Go through the Cony Circle rotary, going almost
straight
across, ending up on Memorial Bridge. At the end of the bridge, around a
corner,
will be the Memorial City rotary. Go half way around it (again, almost
straight), and take Western Ave., staying in the right hand lane. After about
1-1 1Ú2 miles, you will start down a hill near a bridge overpass. The
interstate entrance is on the right, looping around. As you finish the loop,
bear to the right, following the signs for north on I-95, NOT the ones for
south on the Maine Turnpike. Go 2 exits north, and you should be at Exit 31-B.
Use the same directions as above from there on.
Coming
from the West
(Belgrade
area on Rts.8/11/27.) Watch for the signs for Augusta. When you see the
City
Line sign, keep watching on your left for the restaurant or the club sign.
