We are presently having some good warm weather and more people
are using the range. Be aware of the mud and do not make any ruts. Soon enough we will be able to drive down to the firing line.

Gun Raffle: Windham Weaponry AR10

The upcoming gun show at the Lewiston Armory, will be April 2^nd and 3^rd. We plan to have a booth there so we can raffle a Windham Weaponry, AR style rifle in 308 caliber. The raffle tickets are $10 each and the drawing will be at the June 15^th meeting. You will be able to view the rifle at the Twin City gun show, April 2 -3.

This year we are making further range improvements. The 100-yard berm will be heightened and possibly the 50-yard berm, depending on the cost. We will be getting estimates once the ground is firm.

The Town Committee’s results have found that the noise issue is a non-issue because of being grandfathered. Having been here since 1946 is to our advantage. We hope that we will not have any more problems with any of the neighbors.

Our next monthly meeting is Wednesday the 16^th at the American Legion in Lisbon at7PM. You can pick up raffle tickets to sell at the meeting also. The more tickets the Members can sell, the better.

If you have any suggestions on future events that the club can partake in, we would like your input. The monthly meetings are the venue for Members to give us your ideas. We have received a suggestion on having a fishing clinic/demo at Beaver Park. How about an event geared toward some friendly shooting competition?? We are open to any input you may have for future events. Please come to the meeting and tell us about it.

Hope to see you there.
