Nipmuc Skeet League

The Nipmuc Rod and Gun Club invite you to join our new "skeet" league which is designed to improve your shooting skills while meeting new people and building friendships. This is intended to be a fun and informal league rather than a highly competitive league. The goal is to get together periodicly and share our passion for shooting. All skills levels are encouraged to participate; it will be enjoyable. The league will include shoots over a period of about 3 months.

League Timeframes -will be posted on the club calendar. April 3 is scheduled for postponed shoots; if needed.

Location
The league will shoot at the skeet range at Nipmuc Rod and Gun Club in Upton. Vehicles are permitted at the range but should be limited to a few; please try to carpool from the Nipmuc Club parking lot. Everyone is encouraged to gather at the club afterwards.
