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!

May 2017 Work Party

Thank you to everyone who helped out at the May work party. The focus was on the trap and skeet fields, and we got a lot of work done.

We couldn’t paint the houses due to the weather, but crews raked wads and broken clays off the fields, installed a new patterning board on Trap Field #1, did a thorough Spring cleaning on the Skeet Shelter, and split fire wood for winter.

As a bonus, work on the access ramp to the Clubhouse was also started.

Thank you to the following volunteers:John Siljander, Herb Cline, Ken Kedaras, Brian Herzog, Jim Martin, Julian Sluskonis, Phil Sullivan, Charlie, Frank Cronin, Buzz Brody, and John Abbott for donating their time to improve the club!

The next work party will be in June – watch for the announcement and please help if you can.

New Shelter at the Outdoor .22 Range!

A new shelter was installed on the outdoor .22 range on May 1st, 2017. This started as a suggestion by a member, and although it took awhile, it’s a great new benefit for all members to use. Thanks to everyone who made this possible, and especially John Lemasurier for the granite retaining wall.

Stop by and check it out – and use the .22 range while you’re there! In the meantime, here’s a photo, with more photos on our Flickr page:
