CMP – Match Clinic

May 8, 2023

Please come down and join us on Saturday May 13, 2023 from 9:00 AM – Noon (weather permitting) for our monthly CMP Match Clinic. This will be the first match of the 2023 season!

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.

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!

Summer Pistol League

April 29, 2023

Every Monday, starting on May 8th through September 25th The Tewksbury Rod & Gun Club will be holding a Bullseye competition at our 50 foot indoor range.  These matches are open to the public, membership is not required.

This semi-formal setting is a great way to become accustomed to the calls used on the firing line, and to learn how to score targets. 

This competition is intended to get new shooters involved in the sport, as well as maintaining the edge during the long summer break for the experienced Bullseye competitor.

Shooters may compete in rimfire (.22 cal), centerfire, or both.  There is a nominal fee of $2.00 for one match or $3.00 for both matches.  The shooter competes against his/her own average, so everyone has a chance to win. The League will provide the targets, however the shooter must bring their own ammunition.

Each shooter gets one point for shooting each night, and additional points are awarded for first through fourth place for each night.  At the end of the season an awards banquette is held to honor those who persevered.

The Ranger Officer calling the match will enforce all range and safety rules.  These matches typically start around 6:00 pm and the last relay typically goes off around 7:45 pm (depending on the number of shooters who show up on a given night).

Club clean up day

April 24, 2023

It’s that time of year again, for us to all get together and clean up around the club.  Please come down with gloves, rakes, leaf blowers, shovels, wheelbarrows. etc on May 6th at 8:00am.

We’ll also be looking for volunteers to paint the indoor range area as well!

The more help the less time it will take!  Work off those hours!!  Please note all ranges (indoor and outdoor) will be closed during the clean up, as there is work to be done on each range.

We have plenty of projects to be worked on around the clubhouse, indoor range, hi-bore, trap and archery fields
