Welcome to the South Berwick Rod & Gun Association's website.

The next Monthly Club Meeting is Tuesday, May 22nd.

Club meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm. All members and potential members are encouraged to attend.

I'd like to personally thank the following members for working so hard at the mid-month range maintenance: Lenny A., Rich C., Tom C., Domenick D., Barry G., Jeremy P., Lois K., Stephen W. and little Stephen W.
Thanks to all of you, Lee

Once again the same members who have contributed time and time again showed up to help. Remember the range operates without any paid staff so as a member of a club, we count on your participation and help.

National Right to Carry Bills

Senators Joe Manchi (D-West Virginia) and Mark Begich (D-Alaska) introduced SB 2188, a companion bill to HR822 which passed in the U.S. House. The bill would allow your concealed weapons permit to have reciprocity with every other state that allows concealed carry. You would still be required to follow the laws of the state that you are in, and not the laws of the state that issued your permit under the bill. See more here.

John Thune (R-SD) and David Vitter (R-LA) have proposed an alternate bill (S.2213) which recognizes the right to carry concealed by residents of "Vermont-style" and "Constitutional Carry" states. Contact your senators to support this bill.

Articles Wanted for Web Site/Newsletter

The SBRGA is looking for members to write short articles for our monthly newsletter postings.

Some ideas for articles: shooting tips, gun care, choosing the right shotgun/handgun/rifle/accessory, reloading, hunting or fishing outings, favorite game recipes. If you want to contribute, please send your idea or article to .

Boy Scout Merit Badge Counselors needed! Your profession, natural talent, or hobby interests can become a great asset for the advancement of Scouts, by your application to be a Merit Badge Counselor. It's easier than you think, and has great rewards for a small investment of your time. Check out the Troop Resource Survey and the Official Merit Badge List to get ideas of which ones you'd like to teach. We have a current shortage of Counselors for the boys and could really use some help. Check out the Merit Badge Central section on our LINKS page and please contact Secretary Lenny Andrews with any questions or for assistance in signing up. Help build tomorrow's leaders!

*** Spring Raffle tickets available for sale ***
This year we are hoping to send 4 youths to the Conservation Camp at Bryant Pond. One pack of 6 tickets has been mailed to each member and we are asking that each member buys their pack or sells them to friends. More tickets can be obtained either at the Trap House during public trap sessions or at the May meeting. All funds and stubs need to be returned by June 30th to be included in the drawing. We also need volunteers the day of the festival. Contact the festival committee chair, , to volunteer your time or for more information.

New Trap Field House:

The new trap field house is open. We have pictures taken during the build. Click here to view.

As part of the new trap field house, we have a new heated bathroom with running water. The entrance is on the left side of the new trap field house and the entry lock code is the same code that opens the gate to the rifle and pistol ranges. There is also a separate bathroom lock code that you may give to guests that are shooting with you. This code can be found in the members only area of this website. Please do not give non-members the range codes.

Remember: This is an all volunteer club. Please leave the premises as clean or cleaner than when you entered! There is no one to clean up after you except yourself!
