The club was founded in 1916 in Worcester Massachusetts. Originally located in a factory building where the facilities at that time consisted only of an indoor range, the club then moved to Shrewsbury in order to add an outdoor range. In the 1940’s, the club purchased the current 17 acre site located at Sewall Street in Boylston MA – Boylston MA 01505-0771. It has been the proud home of the Worcester Pistol & Rifle Club ever since.
