About Tiverton Rod and Gun Club
Tiverton Rod and Gun Club operates on Fish Road in Tiverton, Rhode Island, as a multi-discipline outdoor and shooting sports organization with a stated mission to advance hunting, fishing, and shooting activities while providing educational opportunities for sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts. The club maintains a broad calendar of outdoor, sporting, and social functions, and holds monthly meetings on the first Thursday of every month. While it is a membership-based organization offering annual memberships across four tiers, it also opens select activities to the public throughout the year.
The facility includes a modern indoor range with eight stalls and full handicap accessibility, available to members around the clock, and an outdoor range with thirteen stations accommodating targets from 25 to 200 yards, open from 10 a.m. until dusk. For archery enthusiasts, the club offers NFAA programming, 3D ranges, and 24/7 practice access, with equipment provided for members. The trap program features three fields, Pat Trap, and options for singles, doubles, and wobble trap, supported by year-round leagues and events. Fishing is available at an on-site pond, and the club connects members with regional hunting events. A members-only pro shop on the premises requires a valid TRGC ID and stocks diverse firearms and supplies. Educational programming covers NRA courses, hunter safety, youth instruction, personal defense, and specialized training.
Customers repeatedly emphasize the facility’s cleanliness, modern infrastructure, and organizational quality. Reviews describe the indoor range as comfortable and well-maintained, the outdoor range as accommodating, and the overall environment as welcoming to both new and long-time members. Volunteer leadership receives consistent praise for fostering a sense of community, safety, and structured governance. The club is characterized as family-oriented, with numerous activities available for varying skill levels and disciplines including pistol, rifle, black powder, and bow. The on-site Sunday breakfast and social events also appear as recurring points of member satisfaction. However, at least one review notes instances of overzealous range supervision, where members reported unsolicited scrutiny and enforcement of unwritten etiquette. Additionally, the majority of amenities - including the pro shop, 24/7 indoor range access, and archery equipment - require active membership, which limits full participation for casual visitors despite the availability of some public events and orientation sessions.
