Looking for rod/gun club on North Shore

[Tarsook]

Funny guy!

Found the Danvers guy.

Are you really not aware that your club has that reputation?
Sure your membership has grown, every single clubs membership has grown over "the past few years".
Just read the responses in here. Not everyone can be wrong.

Andover is a great facility but if you bring NFA stuff prepare to be interrogated Gestapo style.

I admit my opinions on DFG are based on my own bit of research and some very limited conversations with a handful of people from there (prob ~5-6 years ago), so I do appreciate hearing first hand accounts. Thanks Glockster.

To back him up I did falsely state about the slow fire. I was pissed off after dealing with someone who didnt want to keep his gun and ammo separate behind the fireing line.

I am a member at df&g. Not a fan of the old timers and there politics. But I am a RO at the pin range and it is alot of fun there. Good people and fun to hang out.

Nope. I wish we didn't need to have RO to shoot every time. But the pin range is open Saturday Sunday and Wednesday night's. Hours change. Getting more RO and more times to open the range

I’m in Marblehead and have been going to Cape Ann. Was a member of Danvers, but left due to the FUDDS and RO BS. Planning on joining Cape Ann as I like to bring guests with me, and it seems Hamilton isn’t very open to that from what I’ve been told/read.

FYI...
The Guest Policy at Cape Ann is a member can bring a guest to acquaint them with the facility. 3 times in a year max. Once at the outdoor range, once at the indoor range, once at the Trap field etc. The policy is designed to expose a prospective member to the Club, not as a quasi-2 for 1 membership for guests.

I thought it might be helpful for you to know the policy before joining Cape Ann.

I would think that being an RO is right up there with zoning board members and HOA's when it comes to attracting people who have the potential to be control freaks.

Perhaps you could volunteer as an RSO and work towards changing that perception?

My club doesnt require them usually. Also, I'll admit Im going solely on the the opinions expressed by others.

Are you over the age of 60 and crotchety? Danvers
Like shooting and personable? Andover
Enjoy shooting trap after work ? Georgetown
Dont mind driving and like being able to practice whatever you want safely in an action pit? Londonderry or Pelham
Hidden gem? Hamilton.

Spot on. A+

There is now a per use fee for guests ($10?) at the outdoor and indoor ranges.
Clays are open to the public, you don't have to be a member, just safe.

If that's the new guest policy, I think it's a win for the Club and member's guests.
