MFS is ok. Always busy during peak times Can’t shoot anything more that a handgun or a pistol caliber carbine.
Meh
I’m a member of Hopkinton sportsman’s. It’s a hula for you but I think they are still accepting members. Need a sponsor though

The club overall has pretty good ranges and great people. I think it has more than anything In our area
But yes I did take a year break from the club for that exact reason.
I felt like any time I could make it, it was close due to some competition or police rentals. Take the food with the bad I guess

Jesus, my teeth rattle every time someone decides to rip off a couple rounds of buck at MFS. I try to get there first thing on Sunday, get my shooting in, and the GTFO. I just don't like crowds. I'd hit the outdoor range, but I stop in to see Mom after shooting, and it's more convenient to do that from MFS.

You forgot "from like two feet away".

I mean, if you really need to slam fire five rounds of buck at two feet to get the job done, I would say it's probably zombies and you have bigger fish to fry at that point. Like maybe cardio should have been part of your action plan.
It still isn't part of my action plan. I will be a very well-armed zombie.

New member here, never shot in MA. I'm going through my LTC-A application now, and looking for a club that has outdoor pistol range(s) so I can re-learn how to shoot. Year-round access and OK indoor pistol range would be a bonus.
Things like defensive shooting and action shooting aren't very important to me right now, more a safe range environment with good people so I can work on my shooting fundamentals without getting muzzle swept like some other people in this thread experienced (saw enough of that BS in Texas...).
I live near the I-95/90 exchange, any recommendations? Looking at the various clubs, it seems like these would be decent options:
edit: ....annnd I missed that this was a *public* range thread. Sigh. If anyone takes mercy and can still recommend a club to join, I'd appreciate it.

- Andover SC
- Westwood GC
- Mass Rifle Assoc.

, but i think reading is more difficult to get to.
I did look at Harvard and saw the sponsorship requirement. Maybe that's one for the future. Hopkington looks good on paper...

Harvard Sportsmens is home to Metro West Tactical. I've shot NorthEast Regional there the last two years with them, and seriously impressed with the people and the facilities.
If you're at all into IDPA, they're well worth checking out.
