Imagine a world where men and women walked down the street sporting holsters rather than cellular phone cases. Imagine a world where the size of your caliber meant more than the size of your bonus. Inside Manchester, New Hampshire's Wolf Firearms, it is not so hard. Located on a barren street sandwiched between enormous factory outlet stores, Wolf's range is the nearest shooting range to Boston open to the general, non-gun-owning public...
Kevin proved to be incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating--a veritable gun guru.

If you get nervous leaving the kids alone in the house with all of those dangerous household cleaners, then bring them along--10 and under are free. Hours are Mon to Sat, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday noon to 8 p.m. Manchester is 40 minutes north of Boston...
...have a car, Wolf's will prove tough to get to. If you're worried about the raised eyebrows you'll elicit from your armchair-liberal blockmates when you glowingly recount how great if felt to plug the silhouette on your target right between his beady little eyes, maybe you should stick to the Kevin Bacon game...
