In newyorkerhumor, a trip to the Nashua Firing Line Range resurfaces painful memories of past traumas: lost Teddy bears, mean gym teachers, and more.
I pull my pickup into the parking lot of the Nashua Firing Line Range, off U.S. Route 3, when it hits me like I’ve been rear-ended: the memory of the time, right after I got my license, when I braked too late on Bloomfield Avenue and bumped the car in front of me, and I got out, and the other driver got out, and I apologized profusely and he said it was O.K., and then I drove home, shaking.
I strap on my noise-cancelling headphones and enter the range. The rapid-fire explosions make it hard to think straight, and I shudder, remembering when my dad yelled at me because my younger brother and I kept playing “bumping tummies” in the living room while he was trying to work..
I hold back tears as bullets fly from my Long Slide, recalling the rapidity with which my first cat, Big Kitty, ate slices of American cheese. The cheese eventually killed her. “Big Kitty” were my first words. And I resolve to write a Yelp review of the Nashua Firing Line Range to help future customers like me, adding several trigger warnings, including that a male employee looks a lot like my eleventh-grade gym teacher, who once gave me the job of “collecting all the balls” and walked away, snickering.
