Only current club members and guests accompanying them may use the property for recreational purposes, and care should be taken to avoid exposure to areas downrange from our shooting facilities. Please note that this includes a 3-D archery course west of the rifle range. In addition, members may be hunting on the property in season. The club’s land is posted, with the exception of the Forest Legacy property that sits between our other two parcels and is accessible by the public only from Route 102, and not by passing through our posted properties each side of the Forest Legacy property.
MA ATTORNEY GENERAL BANS ASSAULT RIFLES: Attorney General Maura Healey has issued a directive making formerly “Massachusetts Compliant” AR and similar style rifles illegal in the state effective Wednesday, July 20, 2016.
