Nashoba Sportsman's Club has operated since the late 1940s, evolving from its original Quonset Hut clubhouse into a full-featured shooting facility.

Members get daily range access (8am to sunset weekdays, 9am-2pm weekends). Non-members can use the trap field on Sundays during public hours. To join, you'll need a valid Massachusetts firearms ID or pistol permit. The process is straightforward: complete a membership form, meet members at a Sunday trap session, attend a monthly club meeting (second Thursday of each month), and get sworn in.
The club manages operations through five member committees: Trap, Rifle & Pistol Range, Archery, Building & Grounds, and Social. Volunteer participation keeps the facility running.
Nashoba is affiliated with the National Rifle Association (NRA), Gun Owners Action League (GOAL), Greater Lowell Trap League, Middlesex County League of Sportsmen's Clubs, and MASS Wildlife Federation. The club has hosted notable shooters over the decades, including TV cowboy Rex Trailer and even a circus performance.
