Skeet under the Lights
Join us on the first Thursday of each month at the skeet range in Griswold. This event is open to the public and all are welcome! Bring eye protection, hearing protection, ammo, a shotgun, and enough cash to pay for the rounds you shoot. Skeet rounds are currently $3.00 for members; $3.50 for non-members (Effective January 1st, price will increase by $1! )
Don’t have a shotgun? That’s OK ! You can borrow one of ours! Just bring some ammo... 12ga, 8-shot or 12ga, 9-shot is optimal.
Non-members will be asked to sign a waiver before shooting.
If you plan to attend, please email robbiewife@aol.com. We want to know how many folks will be shooting so we can plan the squads AND in the event we have to cancel for some reason, we want to be able to contact you.
See you on the skeet field!
Join The Pistol Team!
Do you shoot a .22 caliber pistol? Are you a competitive person? Do you want to shoot better? would you like to improve your accuracy? Do you enjoy the camaraderie of a team, all helping each other reach a common goal? Do you have patience and persistence? or Maybe you want to earn an NRA/CMP classification, see where you stack up, nationally. Are you a Marksman? A Sharpshooter or maybe you're an Expert! Whatever your class, you are needed!
The New London County Pistol League, along with about 8 other local club teams, all in NL county, shoot every Monday evening, either at home or an away range, from September to March 7p - 9p. We shoot a 30 shot NRA National Match Course.
Anyone is welcomed and encouraged to give it a try. No experience necessary. We will show you how it's done :)
Contact team captain Tim Hausler for more information.
Junior members (under 18) are welcome... but must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
