Chicopee Sportsmensclub Reopening?

[FPrice]

I just got a text from Chicopee Sportsmensclub that they will be reopening this coming Sunday, members only, ranges limited to 10 people max, maintain social distancing of 6 ft or greater.

Not on the webpage yet.

Fairview is open already, I wonder why Chicopee is waiting until Sunday?

 

[FPrice]

Don't know. Hoping to hear more today.

Springfield Sportsman Club still closed. No opening day in sight.

Just spoke to one of the club officers, it IS opening tomorrow. Rain and all.

Which is bullshit. Know damn well MPD wouldn't give a crap if they kept the rifle and pistol ranges ope.

I wonder if they will refund the time it was closed until it opens?

Gun "clubs" tend to be actual clubs - a shared non-profit in which everyone has a stake in the action, they aren't businesses in the traditional sense. Part of the stake in the action includes things like tolerating closures, paying higher dues if the septic tank shits the bed, etc.

Businesses that call themselves "clubs" but are not are an entirely different matter (health club, doobie of the month club, record club(*), etc.) and refunds from those sorts of clubs are appropriate.

* - I guess I just dated myself there.

Perhaps they are inviting the governor to a ribbon cutting ceremony and that is the only time he could make it.

Thanks for posting that. I got the same text.

I have a rifle I picked up a few months back that I still haven’t gotten to the range. Finally the nice weather is here.

Rob, sometimes you are so funny that you leave me in stitches.

Doesn't matter to me. I'm a life member. The dues are pretty low and the club's overhead is still the same so I don't see that happening.

That’s nice. I would never join for a lifetime membership because thoughts of living here for the rest of my life is downright depressing. As soon an my son is out of college, I am gone. Perhaps costal SC or GA.



Is the Chicopee Sportsman’s Club pretty nice?

Anyone go to Chicopee today? I am a member but was thinking it would be crowded even with the rain. I am hoping to get there some afternoon this week.

 

[FPrice]

Had planned to go but wasn't feeling good (NOT Covid-19 related). Hope someone will post a report.

It depends on what you are looking to do. I included the link below and there are some good pictures of the facility.

Chicopee is a great club. Enjoy the pistol range an the fun shoots. The rifle range is out to 200 yards.

Plus archery, a walking 3D archery range, trout pond, club house, ice fishing and the dues are reasonable. It has a lot to offer for sporting family.
