They are replacing the lower range with one that is just like the "new range" so they both will be new.

And no .556 or .223 at the indoor, you could get a .22 conversion kit and use that though.

You cannot shoot .223 at the indoor range.
my wife and i are looking for a club, and this looks great! We're in Attleboro, and it's not a long drive for us. Do they allow Pyrodex black powder in the indoor range?
Thanks!
I seriously doubt it, the ventilation is good but not that good. Call Eric at the club and verify but my guess is that the other members would be pissed if you started shooting black powder indoors
I doupt the air system will be able to handle it, but ask the BOD... There should be some email addresses on the web site. Remember there is a black power/ archery area at the out door range though.

No, no pyrodex. Black powder is acceptable on the indoor range, and yes the air system can handle it. See the range rules, section 6.4 -7.
As far as 'which' indoor range, I've found it useful to refer to the range under construction as the 'West' range, and the snail equipped 13 position end as the 'East' range.
Edited to add - as others have pointed out, no centerfire rifles on the indoor range!

Thanks for the info Bender. I didn't know there were multiple indoor ranges. I definitely need to check the place out.

In the beginning, there was a range. After 6-10 years, the clubhouse was added. Between 2005 and 2007 -ish, a larger range was built on the east side of the clubhouse - 13 lanes, radiant in floor heat, snail backstop, good lighting, more storage, etc.
About a year ago, the original ["west"] range was closed, stripped of all useful bits, and demolished. Without changing the footprint, a new, better range has been going up.
We also have an outdoor range, 5-6 miles away, in Raynham. Yes, it can get a bit difficult to keep things sorted out. Naming conventions are going to be more important as time goes on.

Tickets for the Sig P220 in 38 Super are now available. Drawing on May 5. Poster to follow.
Interesting.... Are these guns donated by members? I thought it was a fluke thing but now there always seems to be a gun raffle going on ...

Here's a quick shot of the West range after a great deal of cleanup on Friday, in preparation for Saturday's air rifle match

It appears a new national record may have been set at the match by a shooter from Niantic.

question, has anone had issues with the new lock at the out door range? I was just there about 1740 or so and I couldnt get the lock to turn off, it would just beep once and the light wet back red instantly... Btw sunset time isnt until after 1900...
FYI I have been told that occasionaly there is an issue with the card reader after heavy rains

I haven't been down there in quite some time, wasn't even aware the gate was fixed.
anyone know if they accept amex gift cards for a new membership?
Check or money order is all that was accepted on the renewal applications.... cash is considered a donation not a payment for dues.
I sent in an app about a month ago. Looks like a fairly nice place and not too far from cape.

next stupid question...
Can you use air rifles on the indoor ranges? I would assume you can, but I want to make sure. I managed to talk a freind into at least starting with one while hes waiting for his LTC and he wants to bring it up next time I take him to the range.
Second question I think I know the answer to... Is there anyway to get a .40 carbine 'approved' for indoor use? I am a little confused about the use of the terms 'caliber' not cartridge's as it uses standard .40S&W pistol cartridges. Again I assume carbine are a no-go no matter what but I figured I would ask just in case.

I have been a member for years and the club has grown quite a bit . The indoor range is state of the art , you can shoot 22 cal thru 44 mag. They are in the final stages of another addition. The out door range is located next town over in raynham. Has 1 lane for 300yards about 8 to 10 100 yard line couple of 50 yard lanes. Also can shoot clays as well on weekends. You have 24/7 access to the indoor range only. Its a good club. Hope this helps

The East range [snail backstop] isn't limited to .44 Mag. Here's a list of approved calibers.
http://tauntonrifleandpistol.org/range1.pdf
Essentially, no rifle cartridges permitted.
thats pretty much what I thought, just wanted to make sure so I didnt do something stupid or miss out on something fun
I'll be there tomorrow morning sighting in my evil black rifle on the far left 50yd lane in my evil black SUV, if I can get it. I plan to be there EARLY to set up.

Great. Show up. You're a member, use the range.
There will be a safety course going on, which will very likely be taught in the clubhouse proper. So, if you're coming in to shoot, enter through the main

door, bang a right turn to the east range, use the range.
When you are through on the range, pack up and exit.
While the safety course is in session, please don't try to carry all of your gear with you from the range, through the clubhouse, to the bathroom to wash your hands.

Just wondering, I put an app in a couple of weeks ago and i was under the impression it would be reviewed at the May 5th meeting and i'd hear after that.
Can anyone shed light on about how long, as i understand i still need to attend the orientation before i can use the facilities. Thanks
