MFS is building a second indoor range

[Mass Firearms]

The new 12 lanes are about 40 feet and will be pistol rated.

Was the planned 24x7 open schedule for the new range abandoned?

 

[Mass Firearms]

We requested the ability to open the range 24/7 when we met with the Zoning Board of Appeals. The board members where enthusiastic about the idea. They weren't opposed...just wanting more info. We decided to address the issue with them again after the project was completed.

Once the new range is completed (within the next few days), the hours will be extended to:

- Monday to Tuesday, 9am to 10pm
- Wednesday, 9am to 6pm
- Thursday to Saturday, 9am to 10pm
- Sunday, 1pm to 5pm

We are expecting to have 5 of the lanes fully functional and open this Saturday.

Our new hours probably wont kick in till next week.

Any updates on the extended hours or additional lanes opening?

We are expecting to have 3 lanes open in the new range this Saturday evening.

The rest should be up and running sometime next week.

Sorry havent read all 19 pages of this so sorry if it was mentioned, but do you have any rifle lanes open yet? And if not when do you plan on having them. Im interested in membership but would like to be able to shoot my rifles as well as pistols. Thanks!

 

[Mass Firearms]

We are looking at opening some rille lanes in the next 3 or 4 months. however, there is a chance we may delay the introduction of rifles at our current facility to focus on another project. While we are very much in the early stages we are currently in negotiations to acquire another building in the business park we are located in.

This new building would feature an indoor range with 20 fifty yard rifle/pistol lanes...details to come...

Interesting........

 

[Rotaryrocket]

Full open yet?

 

[Mass Firearms]

We have 3 lanes working in the new range...more will be added over the next few days.

 

[Rotaryrocket]

Can't wait

 

[Mass Firearms]

We are using the new range anytime things get busy...thus making wait times a thing of the past.

 

[Colt Kalishnakov]

If I'm licensed, can I bring people that aren't licensed to shoot with me?

 

[Zanshin33]

Have the new hours gone into effect?

Yeah I do all the time. They love it. The place is pretty chill.

 

[temchik]

Noticed new expanded hours on the site, does this mean all lanes are open?

 

[Mass Firearms]

We have 12 of the 17 lanes completed...this has given us more than enough ability to run expanded hours...

We made the decision to slow construction of the range in order to minimize interruption for our members.

All 17 lanes will be completed in a few weeks.

 

[Twelve Gauge Justice]

Great job on the new lanes. They came out great. And the soundproofing is amazing. Seems a lot quieter than the old range. An the air system works great.

 

[Mass Firearms]

Thanks for the good feedback. We really tried to make the range as comfortable and safe as possible.

 

[Twelve Gauge Justice]

I've been ask is it $25 per person to rent a lane? I said good question. I'll find out.

 

[Mass Firearms]

We are allowing non-members to rent a lane for $25hr...$10 for firearm rentals.

We are also working on a lane reservation system for members.

 

[Mass Firearms]

Added two more lanes today. Only two left to go.

 

[Esiah]

Are you thinking about a rifle range? I have a .270 that needs some love.

 

[Mass Firearms]

Finished up all the lanes this evening.

Working on that...

 

[Zanshin33]

Where does the idea of a rifle range stand at this point?

Still no news about 24x7 access?

Still no news about 24x7 access?

24x7 access looks like it will be difficult to get. The town frowned on it when we last presented it to them. We may be able to try again this summer.

 

[DemonChronicles]

Too bad.

Great class with Mac tonight, enjoyed it!

Let us know if you need letters of support for the town's selectmen or planning board.
