Yes you may shoot at cans & plastic bottles or metal targets. BUT you must clean up after yourself. That is why no glass.
Steel targets are also OK again there is a BUT you have to understand when you shoot at steel bullets bounce and go off at random angles.
All targets must be at firing line & no higher than 4' above ground. We have to make sure everything stays in our range.
This is in Range Rules not By-laws.
Yes I did say you can shoot at a can of tomato juice or Hi C just do it safely and clean up.
Good to know people think I can be sarcastic. Yes I can

Any Friday night there are board members at the club who will sponsor you.
Decided to take a ride to Taunton today and ended up filling out the application. 
I actually just missed the orientation so i'll have to wait for the one in February. Can't wait to join!
I actually just missed the orientation so i'll have to wait for the one in February. Can't wait to join!According to the calendar on their site the new member orientation is on the 22nd of January. Maybe you missed the cutoff for application since their board meeting was today? (Sunday) I am not really sure exactly how it all works but just eagerly awaiting word on orientation.
Ya you're probably right, I'm just like you, eagerly waiting. 
So which is it? El Presidente says one thing, the pdf says another. The pdf needs to be updated.
I shoot at cans and plastic bottles there all the time. I clean up after myself. I've never had a problem.
Kinda like the Constitution huh, Subject to interpretation. All I know is, next time I go I'm bringing some cans.

I just received my letter inviting me to attend the next new member orientation. Very excited to have a great place to shoot so close to my home. I've become very tired of driving into the woods or spending $20 an hour to rent a lane in Attleboro.

+1 I really need to find some time to get there! Still have an ar to site in! Maybe I'll see you guys on the range!
I will be at the indoor range Thursday night introducing a friend of mine to the wonderful world of guns. Might try and get to the outdoor range next weekend if weather permits and finish sighting my AR in on the 100yd range.
Accepted but missed the first orientation available because I was out of town. Next one is the 26th and I am there. Can't wait. After I familiarize myself with the surroundings, I hope to take my 12 y/o in to use my pellet rifle in hopes he would like to take advantage of the Jr. Rifle program they have there.

My favorite is diet sprite like soda (Wal Mart brand), cheap non-messy reactive targets. I have also shot cans frequently and have had no issues. Hopefully this will stay this way since shooting paper targets just isn't as much fun!

My son's 13, loves his Savage 22 and I just got a 22/45 mkIII for him to shoot too. If you want to give your boy a go at either 22 let me know. BTW, welcome to the club.
Ever get in? I didn't need any sponsors for my app I just wanderd in on a Tuesday and talked to the guys.

I ended up finding a sponsor...a good friend of Mine's father is a member, I didn't realize at the time. So he sponsored me, my app has been sent and app fee check was cashed last week, so I'm now eagerly awaiting!!
Scott,
Many thanks. I have a MKIII Target he can use if he wants to but we will start him off with the rifles. I really hope he likes it.
Good to know!

Got my letter in today. Looking forward to orientation the 26th.
Question for all you fellow members. I plan on going to the outdoor range this friday morning but was wondering where the wooden stands that you attach targets too are kept? Are they outside or inside somewhere out of the elements? If inside somewhere how do I access them? I was only able to get their once last year and the stands were already down range. Thanks in advance
Most of the time the stands are at the end of whatever range you shooting at unless they destroyed them,then you have to improvise and use whats ever there.
Was thinking about taking a reloading class through Massloading and received a voicemail reply from them stating if the club can get a minimum of 8 people together then they can possibly come to the club to host the class. First thing would be who did I speak with at the club about this to see if it is even ok? BOD? Also, is anyone interested in this, website is massreloading.com, I know there has many posts on the forum about them, If I am not mistaken I think @eddiecoyle is one of the instructors. The cost looks to be $90.
There always in front of the berm. You can move them L OR R but they should stay right in front of the berm. They do get destroyed sometimes... I plan to build my own to use when I go.
