Acushnet Rifle & Pistol Club

The Acushnet Rifle & Pistol Club is a private members-only indoor shooting range located in Acushnet, Massachusetts, serving the local community since its establishment in June 1960. Founded with support from the Town of Acushnet, the club operates a modern, well-maintained facility dedicated to safe and responsible shooting sports.

The club features an indoor shooting range with eight shooting stations, designed for both rifle and pistol shooters. The range is equipped with a motorized wire retrieval system capable of extending targets to distances of 25 feet and 50 feet, accommodating various shooting disciplines and training needs.

Four shooting stations are configured for larger caliber firearms up to .45 caliber, while four additional stations are designated for firearms with a maximum of .38 caliber. Each station features adjustable, low-lighting conditions optimized for accurate shooting, and the range is equipped with comprehensive soundproofing materials installed approximately a decade ago, resulting in significantly lower noise levels compared to most other shooting ranges in the region.

Members gain access via electronic FOB and photo ID badge system. The facility operates 7 days a week from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, providing flexible scheduling for member use. The range includes restrooms and refreshment facilities to enhance the member experience.

The climate-controlled facility features a heating system for year-round comfort and modern ventilation systems. Membership includes complimentary access to all range facilities, though the Acushnet Police Department also has agreed-upon access privileges. The club hosts regular competition league shooting events on Monday and Tuesday evenings (7:00 PM to 10:00 PM).

Beyond regular shooting, the club organizes club events and maintains an active calendar of competitions. Members can purchase club merchandise and stay informed through the club bulletin board and photo gallery.
