History
The Acushnet Rifle and Pistol Club, Inc. was founded in June of 1960. The one acre of land was purchased from the Town of Acushnet for $100.00 with the stipulation that the Acushnet Police Department would have access to the free use of the club with the exception of two nights a week for club activities (Competition League Shooting Monday and Tuesday evenings 7:00 to 10:00).
Facilities
An electronic key card is issued to members to access the club's firing range. A photo ID badge is also issued to members to wear whenever using the club facilities. Range hours of availability are 8 AM – 10 PM, 7 days a week. It is an indoor shooting range with 8 shooting stations. There are 4 for use with up to .45 caliber and 4 for use with no more than .38 caliber. Wire retrieval system to send targets out 25 feet and 50 feet. Adjustable, low lighting situation shooting is available at each station. Restroom and refreshments are available. The facility has a heating system for your comfort and is well exhaust ventilated! The range was fitted with sound-proofing materials about 10 years ago at a great expense to the club but proved to be a real benefit to the members. The range is quieter to shoot at than most you will visit.
