Hope everyone here isn’t getting tired of me already with all of the RI questions. I am looking into membership at the Narragansett Gun Club but you must have a current member sponsor you. By chance is anyone a member there, or have recommendations of other ranges? I am primarily interested in their Sunday tactical shoots/training.

Thanks!

I believe Anthony the owner of Ocean State Armory is a member there, you may want to reach out to him.

I don't know anything about Narragansett but a lot of the clubs that require a member sponsor don't actually expect you to know anyone in advance. They usually just tell you to come to their membership meeting and introduce yourself as a prospective member then someone will most likely officially sponsor you.

Thanks gents. Seems like that may be the case after reaching out to them.

Prov is right.  I think if you explain you're new to the area someone will sponsor you on the spot. Although they might question your sanity for moving here....

Current new-member there. Per bylaws, I have to be a member for 6 months to sponsor someone. The 6 month mark will be April for me, so if you dont have anyone by then, ill do it.

Really appreciate that. I talked to John out there. He essentially said swing by to fill out some paperwork. I just unfortunately hadn't had the chance to, got sick for a week, but will hopefully be able to do so in the next week.

Gents, anywhere in RI that has longer range, preferably steel targets? Been going to Narragansett for a couple months which has been great but looking to do a little distance shooting and the furthest they have is 100 yards.

Tiverton Rod and Gun Club has a 200 yd outdoor range, and their indoor range IIRC is rated OK for most rifles, but it is pistol length range.
