How is this club as a whole? I went on their message board and asked some questions and got great feedback and the members in the forum seem like good people. I was going to join Woburn Sportsman but after reading about their trials and tribulations I came across Mass Rifle.
The 24x7 Indoor Range was a plus and the Fun Shoot day seems like the day to join up so you get a price break and also a chance to win a $100 voucher for Four Seasons Guns. So before I go and join any members here wanna give me the scoop?
Thanks

I've been a member there since 2001.
I'm not a member at any other club/range to compare it with, but in my estimation it's a pretty nice place.
It is rather expensive, but it's manageable and I usually try to show up on work day and get the discount (it's a fun day anyways).
What I like most about it is the 24/365 accessibility and no range nazis looking over your shoulder. Also, in all my time there I can't ever recall having a bad experience or encounter with other shooters (ie: no Fudd gripes or raised eyebrows over owning EBRs).
It's also only about 10 minutes from me (add about half an hour or more if I stop at 4 Seasons first and eat up time there
).
The trip is even nicer now since Wendys opened a location that just happens to be located on the route I take.
My work schedule gives me a lot of free time off so it allows me to go during the off hours when very few people are there.
Complaints... the aforementioned target retrieval system (the improvements are long over due), and the lighting at the Loeb range (it's awful). The loading one round only on the Summa range
is unnecessary, but it's pretty much ignored.
