What public venues or clubs open to the public would you all recommend to shoot a round of clays or 5 stand in coastal Maine. We are traveling to Bar Harbor to the Park and will do the lazy drive back over a week or so to NY. We would like to shoot here and there as we tour.
Thanks as usual

https://www.hermonskeetclub.com/home5-stand regular shooting days (open to public) are Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday AMs. 8-10 machines, three menus, typically. Usually start around 8:30-9:00. Can also shoot skeet or trap. 5-stand machines get put away around noon most days. Today and tomorrow, 8/19-20, 100 bird Main and 100 bird Fluff NSCA shoots occupy all fields and the woods road. Open to registered or non-registered (Hunter class) shooters. The Fluff is very soft.

I'll second Hermon Skeet Club, recommend Scarborough's course, and offer my local, Redneck Clays in Union on 3rd Sundays as an option too.

Scarborough Rod & Gun in Scarborough has SC, 5-stand and I believe Skeet as well.
Call them first to get hours of operatrion and guest or visitor rules.

Thanks Mike, Yes several including LL Bean that will fit into our schedule. The plan is to go direct to BH and take a lazy drive back, stopping at various tourist spots and sporting venues.
Thanks all.
