We are always in need of new athletes along with
parents to keep the program going. Our team has been most competitive over
the past few years due to its depth of participants. Any juniors (age
12-20) interested in checking this out need only to contact Larry Parker
Sr. or any club director for information.
Adult
Smallbore Rifle Team & League

Cheshire/Windham Rifle Indoor Smallbore Rifle League. This league runs
from December through March. There are other teams that compete in this
league. They are the Peterboro Sportsmen and Brattleboro Sportsmen

High Power Rifle
CCF&G runs an excellent high power shooting program
with several scheduled shoots as well as a league. The
NH Highpower Rifle
League is a great
way for shooters to get into competition. Shooting fees are small. Rifles
are available for the use of club members. All new shooters are required
to attend a DCM Clinic or have previous high power rifle experience. All
NRA High Power Rifle and safety rules apply to the league. If you would
like to join the team or have any questions about the high power program,
contact one of the following individuals: Larry Racine or Pete
DeSantis.
Trap
The Club maintains and operates two trap fields for its
member enjoyment. Trap shooting is scheduled weekly throughout the year on
Wednesday from 2:00 until dark on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. From
the onset of daylight savings time, the trap fields are open on Tuesdays
beginning at 3:00 pm. Tuesday shooting is reserved for beginner shooters
and those wishing to shoot doubles. In addition to the above regular
weekly practice shoot times, CCF&G also sponsors numerous special
shoots for the novice shooters as well as registered ATA shooter. All
shoots are open to the public.
Recreational
Pistol
The purpose of recreational pistol is to
promote the recreational use of center fire handguns that would otherwise
gather dust and rust. To promote friendly competition without the
high-pressure lust for prizes. To provide experience to those who would
like to compete in IPSC, IDPA, ISA, NRA Action Pistol or Cowboy Action
Shooting.

Archery
CCF&G has a separate area
designed solely for archery use. It includes a 14-target field archery
range, two (2) 30-target 3-D ranges and a pavilion. Archery conducts a
twelve- week summer league on 3-D field ranges on Tuesday nights. During
the winter, archery sponsors a Tuesday night indoor league at the
Keene Parks & Recreation Department from7:00 pm to 9:00 pm and offers open
shooting on Sundays from 12:00 - 4:00pm. In addition to the indoor winter
league, we conduct archery lessons on Tuesday nights from 6:00 pin to 7:00
pm for the youth in grades 5 and up.
After 6 January, 2005 Archery invites you to stop by the Keene Recreation Center on Washington Street on Tuesday night to see what's happening. Tuesday nights at the archery range is a great way to spend time, bring the wife, the girlfriend, the husband. Make it a family night. If you haven't used that bow for a while, dig it out of the closet and come join us. It's just like riding a bike, just get right back on; it will all come back to you. See you there. The time: 7:00pm. There is also open shooting on Sundays. Check out the calendar.
