The pistol range will re-open Monday 11/4. Please note that steel is back in use and is only to be used in the middle and right side of the berm when facing away from the pistol house. Please do not remove the steel from its current location unless you are looking to shoot paper on the right side of the berm unobstructed. If the steel is moved, please place it back where it was originally.

We please ask everyone be respectful of all the work done as a lot of effort went in to fixing the pistol range from a multitude of people.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding while the range was closed. Happy shooting!

The results of the survey showed that the days members preferred to hunt at Hamilton are Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. We will be stocking pheasants on these days going forward. Please remember that hunting on Hamilton grounds is for members only!

Pheasants were released this morning 10/23. Be safe, good luck and happy hunting!

Wreath Decorating Class - Saturday November 23rd

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, ALL ARE WELCOME!

Bemis Farms will be coming to the Clubhouse to teach a wreath decorating class and you can take home your customized wreath! Doors open at 5PM with the class starting at 6PM. $40 per wreath! 

Tickets will be available at the bar Friday nights or contact thenieuwenhoffs@gmail.com.

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the Rifle Range work parties on 6/6, 6/8, and 6/9.  We had 22 individuals and a total of 116 work hours over the 3 days.

Some important information regarding the new reconfiguration of the Rifle Range - 

• New target rails were installed at the 150, 200, and 250 yard positions.  
• Berms 1 and 2 were dug out, rear of the range cleaned up, brush cut, and some debris removed. 
• The 150 yard position requires a much taller target stand due to the location of the berms.
• Please refrain from shooting the rails and/or shot blockers for the rails.
• Position the targets accordingly.  Please position steel targets away from the rails in a spot where the berm is present and rail is not.

Trap will be running again on Friday nights on the 2nd and 4th Friday nights of each month. We will be starting a bit earlier at 5:30PM and go until we run out of daylight around 7PM. 

Any questions, please contact Bert regarding Friday Night Trap Shooting!

As a friendly reminder when using the Campground and Race Track gates, please lock them when you are done. The gates are there to protect your club and keep the property use for members only.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

It has been brought to our attention that someone is shooting broadheads at the outdoor targets. This is not allowed at the Club as the targets are not made for broadheads.

As a reminder, FIELD POINTS ONLY please!

For those of you who are not aware, Massachusetts politicians put forth HD 4420, “an act modernizing firearm laws.” This massive piece of legislation re-writes gun laws in the Commonwealth and imposes unprecedented gun-control. This far overreaching bill has created a massive public outcry from gun-owners and civil rights groups throughout Massachusetts.

The below bullet points are just some of the numerous provisions anti-gun politicians are proposing in this new bill:

• Mandates registration of all guns and feeding devices
• Mandates reporting of any modifications or new parts to a gun
• Mandates serializing all firearm parts
• Bans anyone under 21 from acquiring or carrying any semi-automatic rifle or shotgun
• Bans anyone under 15 taking part in shooting sports and training
•Bans all federally legally tax-stamped automatic firearms
• Gun bans on possessing any gun, loaded, or unloaded at any private property unless the owner has provided express consent or has posted signage allowing firearms on their property

Despite politicians hoping to quickly ram this legislation through, they have hit a procedural snag: lawmakers cannot agree which committee should be assigned to this terrible bill. This procedural issue will likely force them to wait until later this year to hold a hearing on the bill.

While this issue will likely slow down the bill’s progress, it is critical to remain in constant contact with lawmakers and request that they oppose this bill. Please become educated and spread the word to your family, friends and neighbors as this proposed bill is a direct infringement of our 2nd amendment. https://www.goal.org/gunban We must voice our concerns regarding HD 4420!
