I'm voting with my $$ the club I belong to has the "old guard" in full force. They change the rules as they go to suit them, I just joined and I know a lot of people not returning as of Feb 1st. The majority of members I have talked to are looking into Taunton or Mansfield. The post about new blood moving the club forward rings true, these old Fudds are unable to change, just ask our past Secretary. She was member of the year 2 months ago and now she is moving on to greener pastuers.

What's Up with Angle Tree Gun Club in N. Attleboro???
- Thread starter Mike02048
- Start date
Just got a PM from a Mansfield member, Sounds like the type of place I will enjoy! I have heard about NES shoots there and things I would like, I have to go Green and join Mansfield, New Year resolutions. I wish I never wasted my money at the other place. I will try for Wed night, Thanks!
Naw, doesn't wash. If you're too stupid to shoot decently, or at least learn, eff off, go own something safe, like a ball gag and a fixed gear bike.
I shoot just fine, thanks. And there is no need to be a douche bag, other than your natural inclination, of course.
I was a member of Angle Tree for a very short time. There just wasn't any shooting community within the club. I met some nice people but they were the minority.
Do they still have a mag capacity rule for the rifle range? I can't remember what it was, less than 10, maybe 5? This was around 2002.

If someone is too stupid to....
Aaand there we go.
If your response was sarcastic you might want to be a little clearer. No mind readers here.

At the end of the day, people are talking about ridiculous requirements for a particular gun club. People here are suggesting it is to promote safety, but in reality, qualifying with a particular calibre is not a test of safety. You want safety? Look at the rules for firearms safety and go from there.
People in this forum are funny as hell: everyday this place contradicts itself more and more with their "PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY" chanting mixed in with their support for rules that not only do nothing to uphold the "cause" (safety) but also undermine the entire idea of personal responsibility! Absolutely pathetic.
You want someone else to protect you or lie to you about why something is being enacted? Talk to a politician.

Speak for yourself...I knew you were going to say that 5 days ago
Well played sir!
They did when I finally left the state in October, rifle AND pistol 5 rounds, no rapid fire, or the [STRIKE]shotgunners [/STRIKE] fudds, who run the club, would be on your ass in 5 minutes. They really hate the pistol and rifle guys.
The only reason I was a member there was it was the closest of the 3 clubs I belonged to, and good for testing reloads, and/or gun functions...
Oh, and don't forget TED!

My club has the 5 rounds rule too...never understood that rule but it really doesn't bother me. I look at it like a way to pace me and keep me from blowing too many rounds in a day
This...I'm just down the street from Angle Tree...and because of the attitude I ran across there and Wrentham when looking for a club kept me from joining either. Now, for 10 years I've been a member of Mansfield.
I also don't understand how qualifying with a caliber is going to keep people from putting their pistol down with the action closed. Or if they leave it loaded on the bench.
If I see that, I call you out on it. I don't say, "You put your gun down with the action closed, show me now that you can shoot it at a target." I don't understand that thought process. What does one have to do with the other?
Hope to see you there...I'll be there..so stop by and say Hi.
This is the guy who recently told me the only way to change the follower of a preban AR mag was to lift the metal tabs that hold the floor plate and then weld them back into place. Ahhh, thanks, so you dont sell followers (slowly walked out the door).
The stupid is strong with that one...

I know this thread is old but,
I joined ATS this year, I qualified with my 1911 with a very nice member, no big deal, 10 minutes and 15 rounds and I was done. I took my 16 year old son there to shoot my AR. One of the old timers was there and offered tips to him and encouragement. The place is 1 mile from home, that is why I joined. Yes the rules are a little odd but F it. I'll see how the year treats me there.
