We are looking for some volunteers, preferably with leaf blowers, to do some quick clean up around the clubhouse, and both ranges on Sunday November 28 at 9:00am. We are looking to get the leaves off the parking lot and doorways, as well as trim the branches back along the high bore and trap field.

Thank you,

SCTP Safety Training: March 12, 2022

February 26, 2022

The Smokin’ Clays youth trap team will hold its annual shotgun safety training session on Saturday morning, March 12, 2022 from 9 AM to noon. Once again, we have decided that all new and second year team members must attend 2022 Tewksbury SCTP shotgun safety training. Any SCTP shooter who has attended the safety class two times or more will be excused from attending. These folks can voluntarily attend and be welcome, if they wish to do so.

This safety class is run by fellow member Dana Crowe and is an annual requirement for all of our newer youth team members. If you are already on our 2022 SCTP team roster or just want to learn more about shotgun safety, you are welcome to attend free of cost. Shooters must pre-register with Mike Hebert at Coach_Mike@TewksburyRodandGun.org or (978) 604-0745 to assure we have enough materials and books on hand for all.

Our program encourages all youth shooters to always consider safety first, whether you follow thru and join the TSCTP team or not. This is a free public service of Tewksbury SCTP.

HEARSafe – December 14, 2021

December 12, 2021

We are happy to announce that on Tuesday, December 14, 2021, Mike Maal of HEARSafe, will be at our club to make custom earplugs for those who wish to purchase them. Planned start time will be 6 PM at twenty-minute intervals. Single color solid earplugs, with or without cords, will cost $70.00 a pair.
As Mike was able to obtain the last of EAR Inc’s supply of the original Insta-Mold silicones, you can choose from the following colors: Tan, Brown, Pink, or Purple; this is also why the price has not changed for us.
The price includes sales tax and first-class shipping and handling (with tracking).
If you are a pistol shooter, rifle shooter, or trap shooter – you will want to get into these amazingly effective and super comfortable plugs made to fit your ears perfectly.
Mike informs us that if you have earbuds or Bluetooth devices, making custom fitting adaptations for those is one of HearSafe’s specialties, as well. Prices on those vary depending on options but Mike suggests that if you are interested, bring them in so he can look at them to see if they lend themselves for custom molds. He further states, for customization, he likes Bose and Skullcandy.
Mike has always done an excellent job for our fellow shooters. We recommend that new or prospective SCTP junior trap shooters get a set of plugs made for the upcoming trap-shooting season.
Pre-registration is required with a $20 non-refundable deposit and will assure you of a specific time slot to get your custom earplugs made on this night. The remaining balance of $50 will be due the night of making your custom earplugs. Mike would like to limit the sign-up list to the first eight (8) individuals who sign up. If time permits, Mike may consider a walk-in or two if possible. If there are more than eight (8) individuals that would like earplugs, we will schedule a second date.
Contact Laura Veno to reserve your spot!

The Rules

4.) “Backup” format – two shooters mount guns, the first shooter calls for the target and if they miss the target, the “backup” shooter can shoot at the
target. If the second shooter fires, that is his/her shot for the round regardless of whether or not the target is hit.
5.) Shooting out of turn is a lost target regardless of the actual target result.

Children’s Christmas Party

November 21, 2021

Hello Everyone,

It is that time of year! This is a reminder that we will be hosting our Children’s Christmas Party on December 5th, 2021 starting at noon. You will need to sign your kids up to attend this annual event. As always, the party is open to children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews of all club members. Food (chicken nuggets, fries, hot dogs) and drink will be provided for the kids, as well as ice cream sundaes! We will have face painting and they can decorate their own gingerbread cookies! The party will start at noon this year and Santa will arrive at 1 PM. Santa’s helpers will deliver packages for the kids (that’s you, the member provides). Please clearly mark your child’s name on each package so that Santa’s elves can read them.

If you are planning on attending this party, please contact Laura Veno.
