IN Fall 2024, we hosted 37 shooters who collectively shot 75 rounds of trap or 1875 targets.

We awarded more than 300 punds of frozen turkey.

Our own Merv Keller was the highest scoring shooter of the day with a total of 47 x 50, which included one 25 straight.

 

 

 

 

Cookout & Annual Auction 2026: stay tuned.

The annual auction TBA:

Do you have nice items to donate? Did you recently clean out some sporting equipment? Did you buy something last time that you regret and want to burden someone else with?

If so, we’d love to have them!

You can bring them to donate that day, or you may find the clubhouse open during our Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday morning events. We can always use more good stuff!

If you are willing to cook, please reach out to George Spino(george.spino@frandg.org).

The NRA has Marksmanship Qualification Programs – with patches – for airgun and BB gun. We intend to make it possible for people to work their way through these Marksmanship Qualification Programs.

Youth Archery coordinated by George Spino: events are updated and detailed on Youth Archery page and calendar. 

During any activities or events in the Indoor Range, all Falmouth Rod and Gun Safety and Range Rules are in effect. 

Please follow all protocols to the on-site member-coordinators require to ensure a pleasant and safe experience for all. Be courteous and cooperative.

For more details or to sign up, please contact George Spino george.spino@frandg.org

Our events will be open to members, their guests and the public as listed. 
 
As with all things at the club, safety is a primary concern: safety in shooting and for the health of our members. We do not yet have a formal set of rules for the range, so here are our tentative rules to follow:
 
  1. The indoor range is limited to airguns and archery equipment only. Absolutely no firearms are allowed in the indoor range. Certain high-powered airguns may be disallowed at the discretion of the Indoor Range Committee. We do have some archery equipment suitable for children up to about age 10, and we have a couple of air rifles as well. We may acquire more equipment going forward to accommodate growing interest in youth activities.
  2. Eye protection is a must. Hearing protection may be required depending on the guns being used, and you should bring it.
  3. Please follow all protocols to the on-site member-coordinators require to ensure a pleasant and safe experience for all. Be courteous and cooperative.
