That would be if I were a republican. Boo. No way Jose. Anyways so yeah we headed over to this superb Sportsmens Club to shoot some guns with Christopher, Leighann, Roni, Melissa, Kristin, Ricky and myself after an interesting commute in the right lane on the highway. Once there we went over some of the safety guidance in order to come back home without having to go through bullet removal surgery. And then... We shot weapons! It was freakin' awesome dude. Like you can't even begin to imagine to feeling of firing a gun. If you haven't I highly recommend it. Unfortunately for you though, this club is private so good luck trying to find a way in there. Actually, you won't. You need to know people. Connections is key. The place is fairly well maintained and has a multiple shooting sites. Two archery sites, one fishing lake and three shooting ranges, including one designed for trap, another for short and medium distance shooting and the final one for long distance sniping. The place is in pretty good condition and it's a BYOG. Yeah, they don't provide guns... you bring your own, including your ammo. The members of this club seemed friendly and resource-full and even let us shoot some of their own weapons like the M1 Garand and a bunch of other ones. It was a trully amazing experience and just loads of plain good old fun! Can't wait to do this again.

North Reading Rifle Club has been in the North Reading Community for over 75 years. This club can…read moreeasily be missed while driving down the wooded street. The building is set back off the road with plenty of parking. The club offers an indoor pistol range seven days a week. If you are new to shooting, the North Reading Rifle Club provides expert instructors who can guide you through the basics of firearm safety. The cost of membership is affordable for all. If you shoot regularly, consider this club as a choice.

I took their Mass Firearms Safety Course in February 2015 and I was very pleased with the overall…read moreexperience. The course content is thorough and the instructors are very knowledgeable. The live-fire portion of the class has each student matched up with an instructor 1 on 1 (this is a huge benefit for those people who are a little unsure about firearms). A follow up night of classroom instruction features a unique opportunity to have access to a Wilburn Police officer (in my case he was a Detective) to ask questions of. I appreciated this portion of the class because it allowed me to ask questions about the interpretation of Massachusetts firearms laws directly to an officer of the law. I had very little experience shooting firearms before enrolling in this class.

If you need to take a gun safety class, this is the place to go…read more The MRA is the single oldest gun club in America. It was founded only 4 years after the NRA itself. This particular club was founded back when Woburn was nothing but fields. The original building itself still stands and is absolutely in use today. Now, it's a bit cramped in that neigborhood - condos and office buildings are nearby. But there is a surprising number of indoor and outdoor ranges here. 2 of which are open 24 hours a day! If you need to take a gun safety class: This is where you want to go. The volunteer staff here are absolutely the kind of people you want teaching you about the proper safety and respect to be used around firearms. Their knowledge and attitude are awesome. AND - this particular gun safety class allows you to actually fire several different guns - which not all gun safety classes do. I feel it is absolutely essentital! Not to mention - fun! The club is great - the members are great - the facilities are great. We are lucky to have this place in our neck of the woods!

Andover Sportsmen Club taught me most of what I know about guns and shooting. Three friends and I…read morespent approximately ten hours here one Sunday taking the NRA safety certification course required by MA for gun licensing, and somehow the instructors made it (and by "it" I don't mean just the hands-on shooting range stuff, because of course that part of it isn't dull) something other than dull. Also, when you arrive they cook you a great breakfast complete with coffee that will get you through the morning. For anyone interested in getting any sort of gun license, or in learning more about gun handling, safety, or recreational shooting, Andover Sportsmen Club is the way to go. Do make sure you don't need to refill your car with gas on your way out of North Andover late on a Sunday evening, however, or else you might find yourself at the mercy of your misguided GPS driving through a residential neighborhood, and then rescued by a British couple (bless their hearts) who drive in front of you to guide you back to civilization and, lo and behold, a gas station that, unlike many of the others you've driven by, happens to be open.

There is also a great skeet range as well. oh and i almost forgot about the 24 hour indoor range for all members. there is also an archery range and a 3d archery course that goes into the woods. great staff and the property is very well kept. if your are looking for a club to join and enjoy, i highly recommend Andover Sportsmen Club.

I took my LTC class at WSC with Mark V, which was very good and included a live fire session (10…read morerounds of .22LR). The class was ~8-10 people, both men and women, of diverse backgrounds. No one will feel out of place. They also have regular LTC classes for women only. I've taken other firearms classes here too and they have some very good instructors like John K, who has written a book on pistol shooting. I've since become a club member. This is the nicest indoor club/range that I've seen in MA, with a locker room (the small lockers cost extra, but can be used to store guns/ammo/cleaning supplies), lounge & kitchenette and a conference room. This would fall into the gun country club "guntry" category. Membership is not inexpensive, but worth it to maintain such a nice shooting environment. They have a plenty of social events too, and the facilities can also be rented. The well-maintained, 8-lane, 50-foot indoor range allows handgun shooting and rifles of typical handgun calibers, but no shotguns. There is a live-fire shooting simulator in one of the lanes. There is no outside range. Drawing from the holster or combat action shooting is only allowed on one lane for members who have demonstrated skill and have received approval by a Range Officer. No limit on rate of fire. Access is 24/7/365. Membership requires a short interview with the full-time manager (as part of a tour), but you don't need a sponsor, but you do need a FID/LTC. So not the level of hoop-jumping that some ranges require for membership. They operate a FFL on the side (not open to the public), so you can order a gun through them or if you buy a handgun out of state you can have it shipped here for legal transfer to you at a minimal charge (don't do that without asking first). They do have a very small selection of guns in stock. However, they are very conservative with regard to applying the law, so don't expect them to do everything, even if it is something every other gun shop in MA already does. They also have a new sister club, Founders Shooting Club in Fort Lauderdale, FL (and I think they are expanding to multiple locations in FL like Miami), and as I understand it membership at WSC gives rights to shoot there for free as well. The owner recently bought the building that houses WSC, so plans are being discussed to expand the facilities here. The only downside I've experienced is that they allow cigar smoking in the lounge after 3PM and the "smog" also affects the conference room. So it became a bit unpleasant in the later part of my 6-10PM LTC class due to the poker players smoking in the lounge (the strong HVAC prevents this being a problem in the gun range, which also effectively keeps the gun smoke out of your lungs). Hopefully this will be improved with the anticipated expansion. Unlike another reviewer here, I haven't found the range to be cold (and they run fans in the summer) or the members to be unpleasant. It is a somewhat older crowd, but you wouldn't expect many college students at these prices unless they are in the family of a member. It's not the place for people who want to pretend they are characters in a video game. Gun safety rules are strictly applied, as they should be. WSC is conveniently located just off Route 128, with ample free parking outside.
