Westford Sportsmen's Club

[Mainer]

While I'm a CCR&G club member, I've been to Westford for both Ken's training and for Nashoba pistol.

A VERY FINE (no pun intended) bunch of ladies and gentlemen (that I have met) up at Westford.

Eisenhow, you know me also... met you there a few weeks ago.

Johnny, welcome! Its a great club. I'm easy to recognize -- I'm the guy with guns that looks like he writes software for a living.

ha ha, cool... look forward to meeting you. I become a member on April 6th unless someone vehemently objects.

I usually find westford hit or miss for trapshooting on sundays. Usually I end up over there too late, and everyone is packed up and gone. Today was a hit. Got to shoot my new gun for the first time, and i managed to shoot a new personal best, 20/25. (hey, it was only my 4th time trap shooting.) All in all, when there are people there, Its a Great place to shoot. As soon as I can scrap together the money, I think ill join the club.

the website says that the trap range is open every sunday, pending weather. Does that include Easter Sunday?

We'll be hosting another Duck's Unlimited shoot and banquet on Saturday, October 3. $65 for the shoot (both trap and sporting clays) and banquet; $40 for the banguet only. There will be a great meal and a lot of raffles and auctions, including quite a few guns. See the website for more information.

My girlfriend and I have been looking at joining WSC. I see that the website recommends swinging by a trap or clays shoot and meeting folks. Are there loaner guns for folks without their own? Is there usually anyone there this time of year? How difficult is it usually to wrangle up a sponser?

Thanks!

I don't shoot trap (yet) but I've been told by other members that if you show up with ammo and say I'd like to try trap someone will usually lend you their gun. I'd normally offer you to show you around but I'm busy all weekend. If you don't get a chance to see the place before next weekend send me a PM and I'll see what I can do next weekend.

How difficult is it usually to wrangle up a sponser?

Finding a sponsor is NOT an issue. Just show up to the next membership committee meeting (3rd Monday of the month, Nov 16th) and someone will sponsor you. You can then get voted in at the next general meeting (1st monday of the month, Dec 7th). WSC is a great club, hope to see you there!

Dropped off an application to Westford last night. It looks like a great place, with a lot of stuff to do, and some enthusiastic members. Just have to go to the general meeting and get range oriented, and I won't have to drive to a different state to shoot anymore, hurray!

Thanks eisenhow, for the tour! Hope to see you and the other members on the range.

You'll love the club. I'll probably see you at the next meeting.

Dropped off my check and got voted in as a member tonight (not in that order). I'm looking forward to some fun times shooting! Glad I could put more usernames to faces. For those who were there, I was the only long haired male new member, and was with the only female new member.
