If you're in Cumberland you're pretty close to Wallum Lake in Burrville which is (I think) the best range / club in RI. The membership fee is a bit steep ($300/ year) and there is a service requirement your first year, but they are one of the few clubs in RI accepting new members. They have weekly steel plate matches open to the public all summer - PM me your email address and I'll send you the schedule. They also have two larger matches every year - look at wallsofsteel.com.
Manville gun club is in the area as well. Never shot there but they used to do monthly IDPA or USPSA matches.
Harvard has some regular matches all summer as well I've heard good things about. Not sure if IDPA or USPSA. But careful in MA - no hi caps, etc...
I'm a member at Wincheck and Midstate (West greenwich and Coventry) and happy to take you shooting anytime. Neither are accepting new members but you can shoot at Midstate for an hourly fee.
Finally, some friendly advice - stay away from AFS in Attleboro. They will tell you to come on in with your gun from RI. But if you end up on the wrong side of the law you'll be in big trouble. No Hi Cap mags, no out of state handguns allowed unless you are shooting in a competition.
