Fence Cleanup Work -- Thanks!

As many of you know, there have been incidents of vandalism at some of the Gun Clubs in the Central and Southern Maine areas. This has had me greatly concerned; I don't want the same thing to happen at the ACF&GA. For this reason, I decided that clearing the brush, brambles and vines from the fence at the front of theĀ  property would be in our best interest; there's a lot less incentive for mayhem when it has to be done in plain sight from the road.

On Sunday, August 15th, a group of volunteers got to work on the cleanup and I think the results speak for themselves. We've improved the visibility for the parking lot and clubhouse tremendously, and at the same time we've indentified some potential issues with the current fence that bear discussion.

I'm looking for ideas on how we might renovate or replace the fence with something a bit more attractive while maintaining necessary security for the club property. Please feel free to share your ideas at our upcoming club meetings.

I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to the group of volunteers that spent the better part of Sunday on this project: Chip Hedrick, Mark Ferguson, Ed Stanhope and Jeff Drumm put in a lot of effort and even unintentionally donated some blood (the brambles were nasty). Thanks Guys!

3 Gun Returns to the ACF&GA September 11, 2010!

The popularity and success of our first 3 Gun competition on July 10th proved that this should be a regular event at the ACF&GA. Or first event proved to be fun and challenging, with a full turnout for the time allotted. With that in mind, we've turned it into a full-day event and made some modifications to the courses that will provide some very cool surprises for our competitors.

The next competition will run from 9am to 5pm on Saturday, September 11, 2010. The entrance fee remains $10, and will be restricted to ACF&GA members and guests only. During the competition the Short Berm, Rifle Range and Plate Range will be closed . . . yes, folks, this will be the first time in over 3 years that there won't be a Plate Shoot Saturday morning.

Please review the 2010 3-Gun Range Rules before attending.

We're looking forward to seeing you there!
