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.

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.

Overall, the staff were visibly wishing they were elsewhere and in some cases rude. The gear provided as rentals were constantly malfunctioning. At least three of my group members mid game had guns stop firing. On the website it was marketed online as 4 30-min games, most of our games were half that time or less. I had also signed up for .68 caliber paintballs but arrived to find out we were playing low impact and had to pay to upgrade. Our last game was cut short because a referee had to use the bathroom. If you're looking to play here you will have fun but expect mediocrity from everything else. I don't think I plan on hosting a game there in the future
