Our biggest community event of the year, the 2016 Fishing Derby, is almost here! It will be held on Saturday, April 23, 2016 and will start at 6:00 am at Sudden Pond, and will run until noon.

It is free for children 15 and under. We provide light breakfast and lunch, trophies, raffle prizes, and bait. You just need to bring your child and gear. There will be a very limited number of rods to borrow, if one is needed, so please don't rely on them.

I am looking for volunteers to help make this fishing derby a success. Please email me at matt.lavoie@andoversportsmensclub.org if you are able to assist.

On Saturday, February 20th at 9am, Trap will be hosting a 50-bird shoot. The cost of entry is $15, plus birds.

For more information, please see the event flyer.

Old, antique, collectible or military firearms. Do these interest you?

We are a group of members interested in getting people together to share information, acquisitions and the fun of collecting firearms. We hope to meet once a month. We will have featured firearms and events where people can handle and fire collectible firearms.

The C&R club will be hosting a black powder shoot on January 1st, New Years Day.

The outdoor range will be closed for all firearms other than black powder firearms from the hours of 9am to 12pm.

We are encouraging all members to attend. You do not need to own a black powder firearm, just a curiosity about shooting one!
