MEMBERS & PUBLIC WELCOME
(Non-members must sign release form)

Spring turkey season is coming and it’s important to get those turkey shotguns patterned, especially with the youth turkey hunting weekend just ahead. During the above hours the rifle range will be exclusively set aside for the purpose of patterning a shotgun. This involves firing one shot, then going downrange to examine and exchange your target. Then it’s back to firing line and the process is repeated until you are satisfied with your results. Safety is the priority so each round will be coordinated and all shooters will go down-range at the same time.

What to bring: Turkey hunting shotgun, ammo, targets, eye and ear protection. A target stand, cardboard/newspaper (pizza boxes work great) are suggested, but not necessary.

Let’s have some fun getting ready for turkey season! 

NOTE: The rifle range will not closed at this time, but please expect interruptions from turkey gunners.  

Winter archery resumes at the club each Tuesday night at 6pm beginning Jan. 16. The Archery Committee is planning a Cabin Fever Shoot some time this winter. Stay tuned, and we hope to see you on a Tuesday night.

Also, we are looking for new volunteers to join the Archery Committee, especially come spring and summer when 3D shooting resumes outside. If you are interested please contact Pat Beland at [email protected]. Or, come join us on a Tuesday night this winter!

Thought we’d share these cool drone photos taken by Gerry Willette!
