Southborough Rod and Gun Club

Just an update and some info on Southborough R&G;

The 100yd outdoor rifle range is open and has been since about October. The club had a hard legal battle but ultimately they were able to reach an amicable agreement with the Hopkinton Country Club. The agreement basically allowed the range to open after their range expert agreed it was safe. The club spent considreable time and money making sure this was one of the nicest and safest ranges in the area. Please go to www.srgclub.com to see the new photos of the range.

The club has made some strides in otherways now. Members get a pass card that now allows access to the club house and the indoor pistol range.

I have been a member there for @ 15yrs and am the first to admitt that there USE to be an access problem to the club house and range. the membership voiced its concerns and that problem has been resolved. An added benefit is the clu dosnt seem a "cliquee" lately. I personally attribute that to more people useing the club house rather than the different diciplines sitting at the trap house, the skeet house, or at the rifle range.

I think Southborough R&G has some of the best faciluties in the area. It also has a great bunch of people.If anyone would like to check it out PM me and I would be happy to show you around

Hey guys,

New member to the forum. I can't go on the SR&G website at work but if I remember correctly when I was home on their site in order to become a member you need to know a current member who will vouche for you.

I'm interested in joining the club but I dont know any members there so I how does a guy like me become a member?

Just like that! Have you been up to check things out? I'd be willing to show you around sometime. Let me know and thanks for your interest.

Hey 25th,

No I haven't been there yet. Back in the spring my buddy and I visited a bunch of places but Southboro was one we didnt visit. We were turned off at the fact that we had to know someone to vouche for us.

My buddy ended up finding a gun range in Northbridge which is basically a sandpit with nothing there except sand. You got to bring your own tables, benches, targets and stands. Not a huge deal its just more crap you got to load into the car and lug around. I've gotten kind of tired of going there just because its kind of a pain to load up all that crap.

Southboro seems to be more along the lines of what I'm looking for out of a gun club and its a lot closer/easier to get to which is a huge plus. I was thinking of coming down on Sat to check out the place.

Well when it comes to knowing someone when myself, 25th pull, and Kid Presentable became members we knew one member but everyone at the club is super nice and willing to sign an application for a new member.

If you want to see the club I would be more than happy to show you around. I won't be around this weekend but I know 25th pull and my bf Kid Presentable will be at the club this weekend up at the trap house helping out with the 105 shoot and sunday with the competition trap shoot.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

I have a friend who is a member there, I don't like that you can't shoot at all on Sunday. I used to live in Northbridge (Whitinsville).

Another HUUUUUUUUUUGE reason why I dont like the "Sandpit". Sunday is usually the day I want to go shoot!!!!

Danielle thanks for the warm welcome! I think 25th is going to help me out this weekend!
