Holyoke Revolver

 


About our Club....
Holyoke Revolver Club is located in Holyoke, not far from Mount Tom. It is in a secluded setting that is only minutes from the centers of Holyoke, Easthampton, Chicopee, Springfield and Westfield. We are a Members Only club, and all members receive an access card and gate key that permits virtually unlimited access to our facilities.

Our clubhouse has a 50 ft. indoor range, heated and ventilated, for all types of handgun shooting with any standard handgun ammunition. Outdoors we have a 25 yd. and 50 yd. range for pistol and small-bore rifle, as well as a 100 yd. rifle range for all calibers and loads. In concern for our neighbors, the outdoor ranges have some restrictions concerning hours and holidays, but the indoor range is available to our members 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with the exception of scheduled club activities
