Residents on Beede Road report ongoing noise disturbances from the gun range, creating conflict between recreational use and residential peace.
Beede Road residents have reported ongoing noise from the Pemigewasset Valley Fish and Game Club gun range. The select board has recognized legal constraints under RSA 159B and directed research into ordinances and case law rather than taking immediate local action.
Residents on Beede Road raised concerns about noise from activities at the Pemigewasset Valley Fish and Game Club gun range.
At the May 4, 2026 select-board meeting, representatives relayed these complaints to the Town Administrator and noted that residents were seeking state-level legislative solutions due to the club's exemption under RSA 159B.
The board acknowledged legal limits on local intervention but agreed to facilitate further discussion with state representatives.
By the May 18, 2026 meeting, the Town Administrator reported the ongoing noise concern, prompting the board to task Chief Difilippe with researching noise ordinance and case law requirements.
The board deferred any decision on the matter while the research proceeds, leaving the conflict between recreational range use and residential quality of life unresolved at the local level.
