Range Closures

Recently the Club has been in touch with the proper authorities, who have indicated that we should be shutting down all ranges (indoor and outdoor).


Effectively immediately all 3 ranges are closed until at least May 18th. 
Also as a reminder, the clubhouse is also closed at this time; no regular meetings, Tuesday suppers, or private events will be held at the clubhouse until further notice.

In addition, we will also be postponing the club clean up day, to be rescheduled to a later date.


Of course, we understand there will be some people disappointed that the ranges are closed.  We do hope this closure will not last past May 18th, if anything with this situation changes, we will be sure to update everyone.

As of March 31st, this has been extended til May 4th.

BFS Instructors are not approved to instruct any firearms training with respect to 515 CMR 3.00 & 6.00 whether in person or through virtual training.

Because of this we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the April 11th class.

We do apologize for having to cancel this class, however during these unique times, we feel it is the most appropriate action to take.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at anytime.
