same time.

November 12, 2011
- We all new it
was going to happen sooner or later! The Club is now officially closed
for the winter season. Please be advised that the safety barricades
have been removed and cross country skiers have now been authorized to
use the trails that skirt Club property. This means ABSOLUTELY NO SHOOTING of any
kind is permitted on Club grounds until we re-open in the spring!
October 30, 2011
- Club members
P.Mooney & M. Filippi spent the better part of the day today moving
the steel beams off the range, collecting all the steel silhouettes,
targets and target stands from the pistol / rifle range. All items have
now been secured in the storage shed for the winter in anticipation of
the Club closing. These items are now off limits until the Club
re-opens in the spring. Members wanting to avail of this range will now
have to bring their own targets and stands for the remainder of the
shooting season.
October 13, 2011
- Thanks to the
ongoing efforts of our relentless volunteers W. Pevie, P. Mooney, R.
Norman, C. Hamilton, M. Filippi & C. Osmond the lighting upgrade on
the Skeet Field is complete and fully operational (all this in spite of
power outages, very cold, wet & windy weather and wet snow on more
than one occasion). There is still some work to do to complete this
task on the Trap Field so please help these guys out! They have been
doing most of the work by themselves for quite some time now and would
appreciate a few more bodies to speed things up!
October 1, 2011
- With the end of
another season fast approaching we will try our best to complete the
outdoor lighting upgrade. Volunteers will most definitely be needed to
assist in this endeavor. Shooters from all disciplines will benefit
from
this upgrade so please help distribute the workload by giving some time
to the Club.

- An awesome 100
Bird shoot was held this past weekend which involved a sporting course
at center field, Fur & Feather, Reggie's Revenge and the Alley. All
shooters had a great time and ended the day with a fantastic deep fried
turkey dinner with trimmings and door prizes to boot. Top shooters for
the event were S. Osborne 83, M. Filippi 79 & A Gillis 68. Don't
let the scores fool you: the courses (especially the center field
course) were incredibly challenging. Special thanks to the volunteers
that helped set up the various courses of fire, our two trap boys that
kept it all running and our two chefs B. Aucoin & A. Gillis for a
great supper. Everyone had such a good time there is already talk of
making this an annual event!!!

Murley, J. Boone , C. Hamilton. As a result of the great turnout we

of the season.

weather.
