Andover Sportsmen's Club

The club now has a portable electric clay target thrower available for use on Trap field #2.

This is a full function thrower that can be used any time the field is not in use for regularly scheduled Trap. Range times and Rules apply.

If you would like to have use of this machine, please contact Richard at:

Trap@AndoverSportsmensClub.org

and we can set up a meeting to go over proper safety and usage protocols.

This is a great opportunity for newer, and experienced, shooters to sharpen their skills on their own schedule.

Clays are not supplied for this machine, but there are plenty of un-broken clays on the Skeet and Trap 1 Fields for you to pick up and use.

Thank You,
Richard

No matter your bow type or skill level you can participate - you will need to shoot the same bow type for the duration of the league

If you re-load ammunition and want to retrieve brass shells from the range buckets, we ask that you pick through our range buckets of brass, as opposed to taking the whole bucket of brass.  By picking through the buckets, this affords other members the same opportunity.

The Club collects the bulk of the brass from outdoor ranges on a regular basis and processes it to be sold locally at the highest recycling price.

The proceeds from the sale of the brass are deposited into the club’s Capital Improvement Fund for club-wide projects.

Thank you.

Roberta Corey, Outdoor Range Director
