Turkey Shoot & Hearty Lunch – Nov. 19, 2017

Come win a turkey for Thanksgiving! On Sunday, November 19, 2017, the Lowell Sportsmen’s Club is hosting the annual Lucky Target Turkey Shoot. Events include black powder, trap, skeet, .22, and archery – all with chances to win a turkey! Shooting events start at 1pm, but come early for a hearty lunch! Lunch begins at noon and will include chili, mac & cheese, beef & vegetable soup, homemade bread, and much more. Spend a great day at the range with LSC and get ready for the holidays! The Lowell Sportsmen’s Club is located at 50 Swain Road, North Chelmsford, MA 01863.

Please note: We don’t shoot at live turkeys. Each event will have “lucky targets” for chances to win frozen turkeys for Thanksgiving.

August 2017 Work Party Recap

Thanks to Jim, John, Clive, Buzz, Julian, Hugh, Mark (and daughters), Joanne, Darlene, and Brian for volunteering time during today’s work party!

We managed to get a lot done:

  • rake wads and clays off the Skeet Field
  • repaint the high and low houses
  • scrap and repaint the green trailer’s doors
  • fill holes along the sides of the driveway
  • thoroughly clean out the snack shack
  • finish painting the new ramp and fence
  • start hanging the new ceiling on the porch
  • take down the old telephone pole at the top of the hill
  • plus a load of smaller jobs here and there

All of this work was to help get the club looking it’s best for the Annual Open House on Saturday, September 9th. Hope to see you there!

July 4th Archery Challenge Winner!

Congratulations Declan! He won the 2017 Archery Challenge at the LSC booth at the Chelmsford Country Fair on July 4th. Declan visited the booth on the evening of July 3rd, and with his two shots earned himself 12 extra tickets. When all the tickets were mixed up for the drawing on July 4th, his ended up on top. Congratulations again Declan, and thanks for taking the Archery Challenge!

Thanks also to all the members to put the booth together and answered questions during the two days on the Common: Dale Maybury, John Wren, Laura Wren, Jay Dolan, Herb Cline, Darlene Parker, Jim Martin, and Brian Herzog.

A lot of people stopped by to find out what LSC was all about, and we passed out quite a few membership applications and really promoted the Open House on September 9th. The Archery Challenge was once again hugely popular, with kids and adults alike testing their skill almost non-stop. It was a great fundraiser for the club, and Thursday Night Archery may see a bump in attendance too!
