CMP – Match Clinic

September 7, 2020

Please come down and join us on Saturday September 12, 2020 from 9:00 AM – Noon (weather permitting) for our monthly CMP Match Clinic.

These match clinics allow people the opportunity to shoot M1 Garand or AR-15 rifles in a structured but fun setting. M1 Garand or AR-15 rifles can be provided.  If you have your own favorite centerfire rifle please bring it.  This is especially encouraged in light of COVID-19.  All matches are iron sights only.

The event is conducted in a match format (5 rounds for practice, 10 rounds prone, 10 rounds sitting or kneeling, and 10 rounds standing), but the competition is secondary to the experience of firing these two iconic military firearms.

We will be practicing social distancing and disinfecting club provided rifles between shooters in order to ensure the health and safety of all.

The cost for each match is $20 for ammunition (.30-06 or .223) and there is no cost if you bring your own ammunition. Minors must have a parent or guardian present.

Come down and shoot a piece of history!

Range Availability

July 2, 2020

In the recent member survey, eleven percent of respondents wanted increased range availability. In response to this feedback, the Hi-Bore Range Officers have increased their coverage during the week. Please watch the club calendar for additional coverage for most Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings as well as all day coverage on Saturdays.

For those that would like to request a range officer’s time outside of our published times, we have created a new web page for you: http://tewksburyrodandgun.org/ro

This page can be used for either Hi-Bore or the Trap Field.

We would ask that you provide at least 3 days notice with your request, and please keep in mind requests are not guaranteed. You must get confirmation from the range chairman for your requested time.

Of course you can always call an RO from the list on the newsletter as well.

The Board of Directors will be monitoring range logs and the new request page to assess if additional actions are required to ensure our members have ample access to the range.

The BOD thanks you for taking the survey and we want you to know your feedback is appreciated and will be acted upon.
