Do you remember which club it was? Hopkinton Sportsman’s seems to have some pretty restrictive rules. (No guests on the 200??? come on man!)When I lived in Mass Hopkinton had a couple of lanes on a 200 yard range. It’s was and probably still is a very good club with no retarded fudd rules. On a weekday I almost always had a private club.
LOL, yes thats the club, this was 12 years ago maybe more. I'm not sure why that rule is in place but its a very small berm.Do you remember which club it was? Hopkinton Sportsman’s seems to have some pretty restrictive rules. (No guests on the 200??? come on man!)

well they could qualify non-members instead of banning them from using the 200 yard rangeThat’s because you have to qualify to shoot on the 200 yard range. It’s to protect the club as the town of Hopkinton is beyond the berm. Some non member yahoo lets one fly over the berm and there could go the club.
Are you one of “they”?well they could qualify non-members instead of banning them from using the 200 yard range
And 100 yard and two pistol pockets.http://www.copicutrifleassociation.org/
Copicut. All outdoor. 200 and 300 yard rifle. Been a member for about 5 years.
PM sentI just checked the Copicut website and you cannot join unless sponsored by a member. Since I know no members, would someone who is a member be willing to sponsor me? See my excellent 100% positive NES feedback and I am a member in good standing of Woodcock Rifle Range and the New Bedford Revolver & Rifle Club. If Woodcock is closing, I need to find some other place near New Bedford to be able to shoot my rifles. Please PM me if you could sponsor me. Thanks, Chris
Otherwise you’re on double secret probation...Sippican Rod and Gun in Rochester has a 200 yard range but you need to qualify on it before they let you shoot. The last I knew they issues a special 200 yard ID pin aside from their regular ID card.
I think it's also because there is only 1 Bay for the 200. So it's giving the opportunity to shoot to the members.Do you remember which club it was? Hopkinton Sportsman’s seems to have some pretty restrictive rules. (No guests on the 200??? come on man!)
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.Ames Rifle and Pistol Club in Easton, MA has a 100 yard and a 300 yard range.
Is there a long waiting list to get into MFG? Do you need a sponsor?Many people (including myself) were FROM Ames but quit there due to "management issues". NOT recommended.

Rick is a good personal friend and president of Mansfield F&G. MF&G has no waiting lists, you apply and get voted in. We have a membership of a bit over 600 currently and a membership cap of 1000 in our bylaws. Since the new indoor range opened a few months ago we are getting 12-20 new members/month.Is there a long waiting list to get into MFG? Do you need a sponsor?
I sold some fence to ScouterRick a while back. I didn't know him and he handed me a credit card with the 2a printed on it. I chuckled and asked him what his NES user name was. LOL, He reminded me that we had met once at Acme Armament.
Took 20% off and ran his card...
Can you elaborate on “management issues”?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.
I think that you'll find plenty of info on the issues in the specific club thread within this sub-forum.Can you elaborate on “management issues”?
