Member since 1990. I go once a week…read more I'd rate it 4.5, not a full 5 stars because some members are just piggish and do not clean up after themselves on the shooting benches, smoking area, and tables in the buildings. Thanks for leaving your empty Stop n Shop cake box on the table for all to enjoy! (I'm a neat freak). Outdoors is only open if there is a Range Officer, and they volunteer in 4 hour shifts. Indoor ranges do not require Range Officers open 24/7. Most Range Officers are seemingly relaxed and driven by common sense, and even quite friendly. Joe Ruff, Joe V and Zoo all have made great contributions to the club over the years. Kessler was a great guy too. Most folks who patron there are willing to talk with you, show you their weapon and even let you take a shot or two. Great hobbyists who are willing to share information.b Never been in an unsafe situation, done anything unsafe, felt unsafe, or seen anything unsafe at BR& PC. Likewise, I have not heard any racism, racist jokes, or hate speech; however, it is a gun club, and people there do not like Maura Healy, Hillary Clinton, etc so you do hear a lot of politics-talk. Also, it is an extremely diverse club; not an old white boys club. A good 24-7 indoor range, two buildings. Worth the 125.00 a year. Friday and Saturday is date night. Smoking is allowed indoors. Two desk areas to clean your firearms. All the free coffee you can drink, and a free pasta meal at the meeting nights.

FOLLOW UP- A long drawn out review was posted here in 2021 about an incident that went down at the…read moreclub with a member who is a "protected member" among those who run the club where I was screwed over by the club hierarchy in this persons favor, and I just came on here to add a follow-up to the initial statement, However it apparently deleted the initial statement and replaced it with the follow up which was not my intent, I wanted BOTH to stay posted so people could see the WHOLE story. So without getting too lengthy, long story short, I was a regular here for a few years, just about every day, The rule at the club at the time regarding the old brass (shells) was that if the person leave them behind, its a first come first serve scenario and whoever wants them can have them, so I used to come by daily and sweep out both ranges, the outdoor range, change the trash bags and pick the shells out of the barrels etc, and all was fine until one day this older member barged in on me, cussing me out, asking who the hell I am etc, and implicitly telling me this is HIS brass, and that NO one else is supposed to be touching it as he snatches the bag of shells out of my hand and keeps yelling at me and telling me that he's a range officer, At the time I wasn't sure who he was, I initially apologized and said "I didn't know, I was told it was there for the taking if the person leaves it behind" and he said NO its his, So the next day and following days after this, I go back and mention this to numerous other members and they all unanimously agreed that this is not the case, this person is out of line, thats not what the rules say etc, and tell me to just ignore/avoid this guy, do my own thing and pay him not mind, However that wasn't possible, because from this point onward, there was nothing but endless taunting, racial comments, threats etc from this person. Then came the fake assault allegation Since the initial statement was published, I have attempted a few more times to send messages to the club via the email address, facebook page, and to various members, saying things like "Here we are 10 years later, has this individual admitted yet that he lied, set me up and unjustly gotten me thrown out ?, Is he even still alive ?, If not, what are the odds of getting back in ?" and got no replies. I initially forgot to mention as well, although I did mention the fact that the hierarchy runs as a "good ole' boys club", a "one hand washes the other, friends helping friends" sort of order, where those who "aren't in the click, can go fu** themselves" as far as the hierarchy is concerned, the part I failed to also mention is that the individual who did this, also happens to be very friendly with Eric, the president, and he was also even more friendly with Don Kusser, the late VP who is no longer with us. For years after this incident I was still friends on facebook with Don before he passed, and even he never brought up the situation, other members who I still talk to say that the individual is still there and they see him still "doing his thing" as far as the brass goes, and so its more than apparent that his reasoning for pulling this stunt was exactly what I mentioned in the first review, which was that I was "cutting in on his territory". Speaking of which, this evokes a whole new topic as well, Do you know what he was doing with all of this spent brass ?, Was he scrapping it ?, Yes and no, He would scrap the stuff that wasn't reloadable such as .22's and stuff that was already reloaded a few times already, BUT the bigger draw for him is his little side business that he runs within the club, He and the other fellow I previously mentioned who lives in Holbrook, like to gather up all the brass, they reload it, and then resell it to members. Do I have anything against this ?, Not at all, They go around and peddle ammo to new guys and old timers alike, they will approach new guys and ask what they're shooting, ask if they need any etc and pick up new customers, BUT, the sticking point is that if you're doing this on the scale which he is, this is considered a manufacturing operation which thus would require both local, state and federal permits which this individual doesn't have !, This brings up the whole saying "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones !", So this guy is running a borderline illegal, under the table ammo operation which although it isn't "harming anyone", is still illegal in the manner he's doing it, but yet at the same time he has the audacity to pull the kind of sh*t that he did, That unto itself shows you how secure and untouchable he feels that he is there, and how much "protection" he thinks he has, being under the wing of those who call the shots, If he were just an average nobody, Joe-Blow, he would immediately check himself and think twice before doing anything like this because of the "what-if factor" of it possibly backfiring on him and bringing his own sins into the spotlight !
