I am not familiar with Balmoral, but it is fairly close to the Winnipesaukee Sportsman's Club. That may be what you are hearling.

If you don't like traffic noise, don't buy next to a freeway. If you don't like the smell of manure, don't buy downwind from a pig farm. If you don't like the sound of gunshots . . .

I understand that TCC; I'm just trying to understand if what I heard was a one-off situation where someone local was enjoying a day of shooting or if I was hearing the sounds from the shooting range. It seems like it would be far enough away that I wouldn't be hearing sounds from the shooting range - but maybe not. I don't mind the occasional sound of a neighbor shooting, but hearing constant shooting from 10am to dusk (hours of the shooting range) wouldn't be ideal for what I'm looking for.

Visit the house you're considering any Tuesday morning shortly after 10 AM. There is a scheduled trap shoot at WSC every Tuesday, weather permitting, at that time.
Trap: 125 shots in fairly quick succession, then five or ten minutes to change squads, then another 125 shots . . . Then you'll know. Eta: There are also scheduled trap shoots on the second Tuesday morning of each month. |

Gunfire in NH? Who'd have thought.
Pretty much anywhere rural in NH, or even semi rural, you are likely to hear gunfire. Unlike Oakland, where I was once at a BBQ, the gunfire isn't usually aimed at people. Almost never. Safer than most of Europe. I live within a mile of UNH and I hear gunfire every weekend. I have at least one neighbor who seems to be working on his rapid fire shooting. Unless you hear bullets I wouldn't worry. If it's a whizzing sound then it's handgun, whistling is probably a rifled slug, and a hard crack is rifle fire.

She wasn't afraid of being hit... she didn't want the constant noise.

Bottom line, if you're within ear shot of a gun range and you want quiet, look elsewhere!

My little town has constant gun fire (FFL dealer nearby) and neighbors exercising their right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” If anything is annoying it’s the occasional boom of tannerite play, especially at late night hours! 🤪 |

Its inherent in human nature.
You would need to be not human to believe it. For instance, during its founding... Jews and Catholics in NH could pay taxes, but not vote or hold office. Yet the slogan of the time was ''No taxation without representation''. Then we came to ''Local Control'', that went out the window when some local subdivisions didn't follow the will of others. With ''Live Free or Die''; it is just a matter of hitting the right refrain... maybe men that want to dress as women and use women's restrooms... and out the door goes the ''Live Free'' part. Or the child that doesn't want to listen to their parents/guardians because they were born ''free and independent''. When a person is challenged to ''Live Free or Die''; they also very seldom it seems choose the ''Die'' part. |

All the NH vacation commercials leave out the "or die" phrase now.
Obviously, no one chooses to die but people that protect our country face that result on a daily basis. |

It reminds me of when the State was removing the French from some of our highway signs because our official State language is English. The fear of it hurting tourism from Quebec became an issue. But even supporting an oath to the US Constitution has become episodic... SCOTUS ruled against Texas, but the NG are trying to follow orders. We will see the same thing in NH. The SWEPT has been declared by our courts to be an unconstitutional tax. We shouldn't be paying it in June... but who among us is going to risk the interest and possible loss of property? They certainly are not going to be willing to ''die'' over the issue. |

It about someone's freedom.
They want to ''Live Free''. Ask those doing it if it is a freedom issue? Then ask those that claim that ''Live Free'' is an absolute if they will fight for others' perception of freedom? There are literally thousands of instances in our society that freedom has to be deterred for the benefit of society; hence NH Part First Article 3. Even the overnight mooring was underwritten partially by the ''Live Free'' concept... that didn't require risking a life or even having to pay a tax... just a voice. |

It is the concept of it. If it only meant freedoms that existed prior then it really has no role in present society. NH Part First Article 3 speaks of surrendering some of our natural rights (freedom). So we know that living freely of our own accord is not an absolute and has not been since the founding of NH. And it isn't just gender issues... there are literally dozens. I could have easily picked growing marijuana in your yard or mooring your boat overnight on the lake. |

"On Golden Pond" Was Released in 1981...
Quote:
Mostly in western reaches of Lake Winnipesaukee, you'll be treated to military air traffic. Personally, I find those brief intrusions reassuring--that the country is alert. June through September, expect fireworks--mostly after dinner--but at any time after dark. Who knows what they're celebrating? Not far from the Big Lake a single piece of fireworks killed a celebrant. Weekends, expect amplified "music" from boats. Those boaters who don't load up on loudspeakers, open their (recently-legalized) unmuffled exhausts to "treat" residents to still more noise. As one can tell, we don't live "On Golden Pond" any longer. Quote:
