Androscoggin County Fish and Game Association

Although our New Year's wishes are a bit belated, they're heartfelt. And we don't want to forget . . . a sincere Thank You to our ACF&GA members for their financial and volunteer support!

Here's a brief look back at some of what we accomplished in 2011:

• Cleanup, Fence Removal and Grading of the ACF&GA property bordering Perkins Ridge Road
• Grading and Expansion of the Plate and Rifle Range Parking Area
• Acquisition of Wireless Call System for both Trap Houses
• Installation of Heat in the Plate/Rifle Range Warming Hut
• Earthwork to Renovate Rifle, Plate and Short Berms
• Earthwork to Implement a Dedicated 5-Stand Range
• Widening and Grading of the Range Access Road
• Creation of a Member Discount Program through Cabela's Corporate

None of the above would have been accomplished without the volunteer and financial support of our members. We're extremely grateful, and look forward to accomplishing even greater things in 2012!

- The ACF&GA Board of Directors

Starting February 11th 2012 and continuing every 2nd Wednesday of each month from 6pm to 9pm, the Auburn Rifle Club in conjunction with the ACF&GA will be presenting a members-only shooting event at the ACF&GA Indoor Range. All ACF&GA and ARC members are invited to attend, regardless of qualification for Indoor Range use. There will be a nominal fee of $5 per person for this event. There will be limited availability of eye and ear protection, so please bring your own if at all possible.

The event will use .22 Rifles and .22 Handguns; the ARC will provide firearms to use or you may bring your own. If you do bring your own firearms, please bring ammunition that you know will function properly with them; many .22 caliber firearms are fussy about what they will shoot.

There will be at LEAST Five lanes set up with Instructors, each dedicated to one the following disciplines:

4 Position Target Rifle

• 4 Position intro
• Shooter Choice of Position

Standing with Plinker Rifles

• Paper Silhouettes
• “fun targets”

Supported Pistol/Revolver

• Basics and Grouping

Two Hand Pistol/Revolver

• Basics and Grouping
• Grip and stance(NPA)
• Trigger Resetting/Pairs

National Match Pistol

• Course of fire
• Grip and Stance(NPA)
• Aiming Options: Irons or Red Dots

Up to 5 additional lanes will be open for RSO-monitored .22 shooting.

We hope you'll find these sessions fun and educational, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Starting October 23rd, the ACF&GA will be hosting try-outs for the Auburn Rifle Club's .22 Pistol Team from 6pm to 8pm Sunday evenings. The try-outs will be held through the end of December. All members of the ARC and ACF&GA are invited to participate.
