Yikes!

Many people (including myself) were FROM Ames but quit there due to "management issues". NOT recommended. We still get refugees from Ames joining Mansfield F&G almost monthly and what they report indicates that nothing (good) has changed there.

Fair enough. I was a member at Ames for a few years (approx. 2010-2013). I personally never had any issues, but can’t speak to what has gone on in the past 8-9 years.

From what I have been reading the City Of New Bedford is turning it into green space due to the construction at the Whaling City Golf course.

I'm looking to join a club that has a 200 yard range and I want to be able to bring a friend every once in a while.

bring them under club rules or join get on the committee or run for a position as guest qualification director and be ready to go to qualify members guests?

It probably worth an explanation- most clubs allow members to bring guests or kids, but the long ranges - 200+yds - are for members only and require separate qualification to be completed- due to the size of calibers that are getting fired on those ranges. Most usually there are private properties within 1000yds from the firing line and it’s a huge liability for the club.

SSC in Swansea has 200 and 300 but the the 300 has been closed for while, not exactly sure why. Not sure if membership is open either.

 

[Fixxah]

well they could qualify non-members instead of banning them from using the 200 yard range

Non-members have no skin in tha game. Fvck that.
