Thank you

If you re-load ammunition and want to retrieve brass shells from the range buckets, we ask that you pick through our range buckets of brass, as opposed to taking the whole bucket of brass.  By picking through the buckets, this affords other members the same opportunity.

The Club collects the bulk of the brass from outdoor ranges on a regular basis and processes it to be sold locally at the highest recycling price.

The proceeds from the sale of the brass are deposited into the club’s Capital Improvement Fund for club-wide projects.

Thank you.

Roberta Corey, Outdoor Range Director

The Club will be hosting live fire night training for a Law Enforcement Night Vision course by the Revere Police Department for Special Operations Officers from the region including the North Metro SWAT team.   The live fire night training will occur on October 7th from 6 pm to 9 pm on the Training Range. Shooting after dark, shotguns excluded, is not a normal occurance at the Club and as such the North Andover police switchboard will be notified of the night shooting class in order to alleviate any neighbor concerns.
