About
Attention White Mountains Community Members!
Do you want to live forever with an outdoor gun range in the Pemigewasset River Valley, less than a mile from downtown Woodstock, New Hampshire?
If a current effort to stop the Gold Bess Shooting Club and outdoor gun range is unsuccessful, our peaceful and quiet White Mountains community will be permanently changed by the random, loud, and intermittent (but continuous) sound of gunshots.
Where We Stand
The objection to this business’s location does not relate to any of our respective positions on firearms, firearms laws, or the Second Amendment.
Gold Bess Shooting Club and outdoor gun range is not entitled to shortcut the law to immunity, and we all are entitled to the quiet enjoyment of our homes!
Did You Know?
New Hampshire Laws protect gun ranges FOREVER if they’re lawfully established prior to the enactment of a noise ordinance.
The property is located at the Caulder Construction, LLC Ledge Pit across from Woodstock Sand and Gravel at 277 Daniel Webster Highway in North Woodstock, New Hampshire.

For more than two years, a group of concerned neighbors and supporters from Woodstock and Lincoln have been fighting the Gold Bess Shooting Club and gun range.
The group is seeking to prove in a court of law that the Gold Bess Shooting Club and gun range was not legally established prior to the Woodstock noise ordinance because it failed to obtain the appropriate permits relative to the gun range before the noise ordinance was adopted.
