I am also a member at HGC. I joined in February, and have enjoyed it a great deal. It may be expensive compared to some other clubs, but at least it has a very nice indoor handgun range (heated in winter, A/C in summer) as well as outdoor ranges for handgun, rifle and shotgun. There also is the trap and skeet, and a nice clubhouse.
I wanted to join Metacon, but I was told (in February) there were no openings, and it could be a year before an opening existed. I also applied to the Windsor club, but never heard anything from them. I took a look at the Windsor "facilities", which were nothing more than an outdoor range off of a dirt road next to the Connecticut river.
I try to go to the HGC weekly, and they always have a Range Safety Officer on duty at the outdoor handgun and rifle ranges. They also have warning lights and horns installed, so safety is a high priority.
Everyone at HGC has been very friendly and helpful, including other members as well as the staff.
