Important Announcements

CLUB LAND ACCESS: The Stockbridge Sportsmen’s Club nows owns over 200 acres, extending from our clubhouse location, well into West Stockbridge, and over the top of the ridge. 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. Click here to visit the State’s web page regarding the ban and any exceptions, and click here to visit the GOAL Blog for information on legal challenges being made against the Attorney General.

NOTE: If you are visiting our club from out of state where your so-called assault weapons are perfectly legal, DO NOT bring your gun with you. It’s a felony offense.
