I just wanted to post a quick heads-up about Addiville. If you are into shooting sporting clays or pheasant hunting (or fly fishing) you should really check the place out. Its in RI and on 1,000 acres of nice private land. They have their own pro shop next to the clubhouse (that is a little out of my range) and two full clays courses - one for summer and fall and one for winter and spring. They have state of the art launchers that allow you to even shoot by yourself on delay if your friends (like mine) bag out because 9AM on a Sat is too early for them.
I must state however, that it is not a cheapo place and 100 clays will cost $35 for a non-member. Alot of the guys that go there look like they just fell right out of the LL Bean Catalog. BUT - the owners and the guys that work there are great and they work very hard to make sure that your time there is what you expect. Again, just clays (and five-stand), driven hunts, and fly fishing in their stocked pond. The only other clays course I like as much is the Orvis Sandanona Shooting Grounds in NY. You should check it out if you are in ther area. They have grills and tables you can use outside the clubhouse for bbq and beers after you do your shooting. Really a nice way to spend an afternoon.
