Northampton revolver club and the Easthampton Fish and Game allow guests. I think 2 at a time with some rules involved. I believe Norwottuck in Hadley also allows guests.
I have one individual who has expressed interest in trying it out. When the time changes I’ll take him one evening. Hard left ideology consistent with the Northampton-Amherst corridor.
Started a new shooter yesterday, 22 pistol to 9mm to another 9mm to a 22 rifle to an Asalt rifle to 45-70 lever gun to a 12 gauge for some clay shooting. The cheesy grin from ear to ear never ended the whole way home. He's all signed up for his safety course now! Pro 2A and training shooters is what I want to do this year even if it costs me money. Exposing people to the sport is priceless for me!

I have belonged to several clubs in the greater Springfield area and every single one of them has an absolute ZERO tolerance policy on guests at the range. In my experience clubs like to talk a good game but, they are not in the least interested in enticing new people to the sport. Otherwise they wouldn't demand people buy into a full membership (not cheap at a few places) just to give shooting a try.
I know I wouldn't be too excited to drop $60 to $100 or more just to give something I'm really not to sure about a try. I understand liability and safety and all but, until clubs start to loosen up a little, there will remain a wall between the shooting sports and the general public we need to win over if we're going to get any significant support at the ballot box.
