NO Shotguns in the range
While removing brass and lead in the range, we found a number of 410 shotgun shells. Absolutely no shotguns of any kind are allowed in the range. This includes 410s from any gun, like the Judge. No 410 shotguns
New security cameras
The E-board has voted to update our camera security system and purchase a state of the art system that will monitor the entire club inside and out for the security and protection of all our members. The new system will include remote access.
Junior Rifle Advanced ProgramThe Junior Rifle Advanced Program meets Friday Evenings from 6:45-8:15pm during the Fall and into the Spring except during school vacations and on snow days. To qualify for the program the students must take a basic rifle training class. This course teaches firearm safety and the fundamentals of competitive smallbore shooting.
The club has several very active Junior development programs with complete instructions for all juniors from 12-18 years of age (discuss with coach if younger). Juniors can train and become competitive in smallbore rifle.
Participants will be charged for the one time class material and $5.00 per session. This money will help cover the cost of ammunition. We will be trying to apply for a grant from the Friends of the NRA to help fund this program and by future items such as spotting scopes, mitts, rifles, shooting jackets, cleaning supplies and miscellanous.
WSC is committed to training young people in the safe and proper handling of firearms. Parents are welcome to take part in helping with this rewarding program and for those students who want to compete in matches we will be reaching out to other towns and invite them to have friendly matches.
For more info go here…, come to the club on Fridays between 6:45pm and 8:15pm, email instructor Denise Fisher or call her at 781-953-0580.
Please do not take brass from the range
We found that members took brass from the club buckets (38s, 9mm , 40s and 45s). This brass is used to fund our junior program. We got $300 less for brass than in previous months. You may pick up and take your own brass after you shoot but please deposit all other brass in the container provided. Absolutely no brass may be taken from the buckets. This brass is property of the club and is used to fund the junior program. We do not and will not sell brass to anyone.
Bounced checks
Members paying club dues, fees or anything else by check please be certain that your account has sufficient funds to cover the check. We are charged $25.00 for each returned check for insufficient funds. From this point on members will be responsible for the $25.00 and must reimburse the club immediately. Thanks for your cooperation.
New guest and training rules posted
Guest procedures appear to be misunderstood. To clarify, only one guest with a member may occupy a range station at a time. Guests cannot shoot in a separate booth without member supervision. You cannot both shoot at the same time in two booths. We recommend that members allow guests to only shoot guns they can handle safely. It seems that 22s are a good choice for inexperienced shooters. Members are responsible for their guests and we have people monitoring the cameras.
Those who shoot higher caliber handguns
An issue has come to our attention by members. When someone is shooting magnum rounds (357 and 44) please use courtesy and common sense. If you appear to be bothering someone take a short break until they are finished. We have had numerous complaints lately. If we are all courteous to one another there should be no problem.
Reminder to all instructors
All who instruct at the Weymouth Sportsmen’s Club must be approved by the board. Only those members who attended the instructor meeting or contacted Dick Striano and were approved, are allowed to use the club for training.
