Hey folks, my first post on this website and I’m looking for recommendations on a Gun Club in the central mass area, something as close as possible to the Sterling / Clinton area. Maybe I’m being too picky with my wish list but I’ve got to think there must be a good gun club out there somewhere for me, but first let me give you some background:
For many years I had a membership at North Leominster Rod & Gun, this is an excellent facility, however, the problems were the restrictions placed on rifle shooting during skeet matches. Too many times I’d show up to shoot only to find out that the rifle range was closed because of a skeet tournament or match was taking place on the other side of the facility.
I then had a membership for a couple years at Eight Point in Sterling but they have a restriction on rapid fire shooting at the rifle / pistol range (something like 1 round every 10 seconds, can’t remember exactly). Also, the rifle range is only 100yds long and the pistol area is bleak, to say the least, so I let my membership expire last year.
Now it’s time once again to look for another club – it’s been a long shootless spring & summer. I’m not that into skeet shooting anymore so that’s not a big concern to me. I would like to find a club with a nice 200yd range and a good pistol range. Preferably these ranges would have a roof over the shooting area and more than a couple shooting stations each (I hate pressuring people or having them pressure me to finish up). I definitely don’t want another club with too many (or any) of the restrictions / drawbacks mentioned above. Does a place like this exist anywhere within ½ hour drive of the Sterling / Clinton area or am I just outta luck?
If someone has any questions for me please be patient I’ll try to check in at least once a day…
