MRJ,
Welcome to the forum!
As a Moderator, I took the liberty of changing your Subject line to reflect "Lowell Area" to help you get better answers to your question.
Also, you can search thru this particular forum and find info on some clubs in that general area. There are clubs near/in Woburn, Tyngsboro Sportsmen's Club, Tewksbury, etc. Search off the info here or the GOAL website to see what each club offers and how closely that matches your areas of interest.
If you are married or otherwise involved, you might want to look for clubs that are women-friendly or family-friendly. Not all are, regrettably . . . and it helps if the other person in your life is ever to take an interest in shooting, if they encourage women/families to shoot vs. those that are "old boys clubs". Just something that you might want to consider.
