Winter Indoor Archery League
The CRGC indoor archery program is a joint effort between Lamprey River Bowhunters and Chester Rod & Gun Club. The idea rose out of desperation amongst the Lamprey River Bowhunters losing their indoor facilities. At the time, the Brentwood Recreational Center was being sold to the town of Brentwood. The town's plan was to give the existing building a complete makeover which included the basement area where, every winter for 10 years, the Lamprey River Bowhunter's league was held. So, Kevin Laliberte, being a member of CRGC and a member of Lamprey River got together with Phil Lyons the President of LRB approached the members and BOD of CRGC to approve the combined club winter league.

Steel Plate Rack
Steel Plate Rack
CRGC has added an exciting and popular new range for the enjoyment of our members: Steel Plates!
The Plate Rack Range is located at the end of the Trap Range next to the Bowling Pin Pit. There is no certification/qualification required to use the fixture and you may use it any time during normal outdoor range hours.
Bowling Pin Shoots
With bowling pin shooting, accuracy is critical. The kill-zone of the four pound pin is about the size of a 12-ounce beverage can. At 25 feet, it is not easy.
The real challenge is to get one's five heavy bowling pins off the table during the distraction of five other loud and sometimes rapidly firing handguns. Hint: Your firearm and ammunition must powerful enough to drive the 4-pound pins back a long three feet to be knocked clearly off the table top.
Junior Rifle League
The Junior Rifle and Archery League is an opportunity for girls and boys ages 10 to 18 years old to meet on a regular basis in an indoor controlled safe environment to experience proper and safe firearm handling, and archery instruction.
