New Member Presentation
9:00 am – 11:00 am May 15, 2016
A presentation for prospective members is held in the clubhouse. Indoor range is closed.
The meeting starts with the presentation, so please plan on being seated by the starting time. The meeting should last approximately one hour, depending on the number of applicants.
If you are interested in using the outdoor ranges you must obtain an Orange Card by attending an Outdoor Range Safety Briefing, given by the Outdoor Range Chair. Please meet Ken at the clubhouse at 11:30 AM and allow 2 1/2 hours for this briefing. (We will be starting on schedule, so please be on time). You must bring hearing and eye protection. Ken requests that you bring something to shoot (pistol or rifle), appropriate ammo, and targets. However, please attend the briefing, with your eye/ear protection, even if you currently do not have a gun. If you are unable to attend the briefing on the Sunday immediately after the general meeting when you were initiated, or if you are a existing member planning to attend in order to finally obtain your Orange Card, please e-mail Ken to let him know whether or not to print your card. Ken will be using the Outdoor Range Rules which reside on the web site's Forms-Documents page.

For our members on the Greater Lowell Trap League, this is a great time to get in practice in lighting situations similar to League evening shoots.
(In theory shooting continues until sunset,
but most evenings folks get their fill before then).

5:00 pm – 6:00 pm May 17, 2016
An order for 23 pallets of birds will be delivered to the club at 5:00PM, and volunteers are needed to help to unload them.
This process is much easier than it used to be. It mostly involves moving pallets on a pallet jack from the delivery truck to our storage trailer. If you can volunteer, please EMail the Trap Chair. Time spent on the work party will count towards your annual work commitment.

Women members are invited to try out the outdoor rifle range. Meet at the trap house (not the clubhouse) at 9:00AM and proceed with fellow sportswomen to the outdoor rifle range at 9:30AM. Experienced shooters will offer education and guidance as we try the sport out. You will learn about the safety and range-use protocols, get questions answered, and try some rifle shooting. Bring your own rifle or use one from the club. Also, bring eye and ear protection, and ammunition (or chip in to use some from the club). RSVP to the Sportswomen Chair if you plan to be there so that we can have enough supplies for the group.
