The Civil Rights Coalition Petition Signing Information

50,000 Certified Signatures in 30 Days!

A group of concerned Massachusetts citizens has formed a State Ballot Committee named The Civil Rights Coalition to suspend and ultimately rescind the recently enacted H4885, An Act Modernizing Firearm Laws. The Law states that the citizens of Massachusetts can not rescind a portion of a bad law. If there are bad sections, the ENTIRE LAW must be rescinded and be redone.

In order to do this, residents must submit 50,000 certified signatures to the Secretary of State within 90 days of the law passing in order to suspend and put the law before all voters in Massachusetts.

“This is our Goal… This is Our Mission.  Let the Voters Decide!”

Please visit https://thecivilrightscoalition.com for more information and petition/signature gathering locations.

Please contact Lee representative Doug Frank for availability at (413) 822-6490 or 329pheasant@gmail.com.

Crossbow Event - Saturday, Sept. 14th @ 1-5pm, Rifle Range

The Rifle Range is pleased to open the range to crossbow shooters looking to sight in their bows at longer distances. While this event is geared for hunters to sight in their crossbows, all crossbow shooters are welcome! We will be providing a limited number of crossbow rated target bags at our 25, 50, and 100 yard berms. If you want to shoot at 200 yards, then please bring your own crossbow rated target. PLEASE NOTE: FIELD TIPS ONLY, NO BROADHEADS ARE PERMITTED AT THIS EVENT.

Standard range fees will apply: $3 Members & $7 Guests/Non-members. All SOPs and range rules will be in effect and RSOs will be present. Also note the range will remain open to rifle shooters. However, everyone should be prepared for frequent “cold range” calls to allow archers to recover their bolts.
