All events have a $10 participation fee for non-members. This fee does not apply to weekly Thursday Night Trap Shoots which only consist of the $5 per round fee to any shooter.

Unless stated otherwise, the following is our policy for inclement weather for outdoor events. This does not apply to indoor events such as meetings or seminars. If the Honey Brook forecast predicts a chance of rain greater than or equal to 50% at the beginning or the next hour of the shoot, the shoot will be cancelled. The decision to cancel will not be made until the morning of the day of the shoot to ensure we have the most accurate forecast.

We host trap shoots open to the public every Thursday (March through November) - weather permitting. These start at 6:00PM.

We hold monthly work-parties the third Sunday of the month February - November beginning at 9:00 AM.

Scheduled shoots will be posted below at the beginning of each month.

U.S. Law Shield Seminar
Traveling with Guns: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Tuesday 1/10/2023 from 6:30PM-9:00PM

U.S. LAW SHIELD & TRI-TOWN SPORTSMAN'S ASSOCIATION are partnering to bring you the most up to date laws to protect your 2nd Amendment rights. This is a free event for Club members.

Do you carry for protection? Do you plan on traveling beyond your state's border with your firearm? If the answer to either question is "YES," then attend this seminar. You will hear first-hand from an experienced U.S. LawShield® Independent Program Attorney about the laws of concealed and open carry, gun-free zones, and considerations for legally traveling while armed in other states. Arm yourself with knowledge because "I didn’t know…" is not a valid legal defense. 

1. Ignorance of the law is not a legal excuse
2. The legal system can be very hostile toward gun owners
3. Responsible gun owners get thrown into the legal system every single day
4. Laws change as you cross state lines.
