I'm looking to finally join a club and have heard great things about Mansfield; it's also very convenient to my location (Plainville). Would anyone mind giving me a tour so I can learn more about it?
I sent you an Email today.

Is the indoor range still 'under construction'? Still one of the closest clubs to my house, but an indoor range with 24/7 access is a must for me, unfortunately.
If your thinking about joining mansfield fish and game. Save your time and money i joined 8 months ago, and you dont get your moneys worth. There are classes being held every time i wanna shoot witch is a pain in the butt, and the students are unsafe. On top of that i had problems with 8 - 10 members who went out of there way to piss me off. I go to the range to relax and have fun, and i stick to myself and im quiet. There is a COUPLE good guys there but the rest can be losers. I joined mfg because i heard they were more relaxed than angle tree, but i NEVER had problems at angle tree. But after dealing with classes every time i want to shoot, and members that are aholes i canceled my membership at mfg and will never return. Save your time and money and find a club that is worth the membership fees.
I am a member, all though I have not visited in several months.
A small instruction range is available for use with BOD approval. As far as I know, any instruction in n the 50 or 100 yard ranges can should not prevent range access from members.
Has anything changed recently with regards to class use of the main ranges, LenS?
Other than attending meetings or teaching students (on the instructor range only) at MF&G, I think I've only been there to shoot 3 times this year.
The two of us haven't been out there together for a while, too.

I am also now aware of your threat to me, which was totally uncalled for regardless of your problem with the club, before you edited your reply.
I have been a member about 2 years. So far everyone I have met has played well in the sandbox and shared their toys.
Looking for a tour and or sponsor (currently looking to get out of Ames). And no, I have never had a problem with Ames and the leaders, just looking for something closer.
Send me an Email off my username (NOT a PM). My availability during weekdays is very good. Weekends tend to be very busy, but I'll see what I can do to give you a tour.
Any update on the indoor range? Thanks
Trying to decide between Mansfield and Taunton (5 miles further from me than Mans.). Joined Holbrook last year but due to conflicting work schedule was unable to get signatures needed. What can you tell me about the facilities?
I will like to join the Mansfield . I would like to have a sponsor anyway. Is the anytime I could go see the club
I will try to make it tonight . Thank you for the infoIf you check out the website, read the rules and bylaws, fill out the forms and bring them tonight to the BOD meeting (Mansfield Public Library meeting room, doors are directly facing you as you enter the building) at 7PM, the BOD will sponsor you and recommend you to the members meeting next Wednesday evening (same time/place). If you have a sponsor (my general policy is someone who I've shot with or instructed) you can skip the BOD meeting and just get voted in at the members meeting. NOTE: IIRC there is no July members meeting.
As for a tour, sorry to say that I'm too busy right now to do that this week. You can park to the left of the DPW building and walk up to the gate. If it is open, go back for your car (but have hearing protection with you) and drive in. I STRONGLY suggest NOT driving up to the gate to see if it is open, as backing down has ZERO visibility on a dirt/gravel path that curves, not advised. Just try not to touch the gate or let your clothes touch . . . the pine sap is a sticky mess and difficult to remove.
I will be there on Sunday afternoon (probably after 1PM) so that the gate will be open, but I'll be teaching an intensive course (NRA PPOH) so I can't give anyone a tour but you can certainly walk around and if anyone else is there approach them and most will be more than helpful.
