Oh I know. Apologies if I came off too serious. I abut Allandale woods and my current boss used to raise hell in there. That and the Bellevue hill water tower area. For an “urban” area there’s certainly plenty of wooded area around here.
You are making an assumption and painting with a broad brush.
I can only speak for one club, but Mansfield F&G has been open for weeks now and has held meetings via Zoom. They are also accepting new members, 10 were voted in at the meeting a week ago. The wait time to join is only until the next monthly meeting and no requirement for work parties and the BOD will gladly sponsor new members. First year is $260.00 (pro-rated will be much lower this time of year) and $125.00 subsequent years. Indoor range is likely to be completed before the end of this year, meanwhile there are 50 and 100 yd ranges to use.
Every club is different, bear in mind in MA (and the guy who posted this thread is in MA) the "swamping" is going to be relatively limited considering that licensing has been shut down since April in some places, there's not going to be that big of a flood, other than by existing LTC/FID holders that let their memberships lapse somewhere. Now yes, there will be new people, but most of those newbies haven't even sniffed the inside of a PD for an app yet. Those people won't even have plastic until August, if they're REEEEEALY lucky and live in the right town. Most people are
going to be later than that, given most of the unwashed still need BFS certs and there are only a few places doing them now. Newbs are likey to be queued up into the cold
weather. So for MA peeps, existing LTC/FID holders getting into a new club, is not going to be horrendous in the next 2 months or so if the clubs are taking members. By the time October rolls around? THEN you'll see the dumpster fire you speak of.
In other states where unwashed can buy and own guns, all bets are off, different story, etc. MAs communism kinda will reduce the ambush factor here.

Boston Common, just bring your BLM sign.
just another plug for cmp/nra/service rifle /highpower clinics. Clubs hosting these are open to the public and you get to learn some fundamental marksmenship. Now some clubs have requirements for safety like keeping your rounds on paper.
The nra/cmp high power targets are pretty big
keeping them on paper is not terrible seeing the target is what 26" wide at 1 00 and only get bigger as you go in distance.

No such thing as waiting months or paying $600 (lol).
OP, if you dont take advantage of this, you are a fool:

PS, I am not a member there. But if they had steel plates, I would join. It is probably the best deal I have seen since I paid around $70 online to join Granby.
