Looking for someone interested in cooking breakfasts at the Clubhouse!

We're currently looking for an individual or team of people to cook Sunday morning breakfast, breakfast on Saturday mornings for the pheasant hunters during the pheasant season and breakfast for our fishing derbies.

If you're interested please come to the LSA Clubhouse to the Board of Directors meeting at 7:00 on the second Wednesday evening of the month. The next BOD meeting is September 14th, 2022.

Women on Target

Sunday, October 2nd, 2022

8:00 to 4:00

If you ever considered trying recreational shooting, now is the time! Come join us for a women’s only instructional shooting clinic. You will receive hands-on shotgun, rifle, and pistol instructions in a safe, non-competitive atmosphere with competent instructors.

All women are invited to participate, regardless of skill level. No previous experience is necessary; just the desire to learn and have fun. This event costs $95.00 and includes loaner firearms, ammunition, and eye/ear protection.

The Home Firearms Safety course is included, so that you can apply for your Massachusetts firearms permit. A light lunch will be provided following the morning program, then we head out to the outdoor ranges.

ATTENTION: Detonation of TANNERITE or any other Binary Explosive is not allowed on the LSA Rifle Range until further notice.

We are reviewing the rules/laws with the State Fire Marshal's office to get clarification on the detonation of these substances.

Thank you for you patience and understanding at this time.

Violations are subject to Membership expulsion.

The LSA Gun Shop is OPEN!

The Gun Shop is looking better than ever and we have many new vendors that actually have product in stock.

We have lots of ammo, rifles, shotguns and handguns on hand!

Additionally, we'll be able to take orders for any and all Mass compliant firearms!

So come on up Saturdays from 2 to 4 and Sundays 8 to Noon.

The Gun Shop is open to the public so bring your friends.

Also, keep an eye out for our Grand Re-Opening SALE coming soon!

Click here for the Gun Shop or above in the menu bar and check out what's on hand for firearms and supplies!

Plate Rack Locks have changed as of Sunday, 2/20/22!

New keys are on sale at The Gun Shop on Sunday mornings.

Price of the keys is now $35.00 for the remainder of the year.

The Texas Stars are now available if you have a plate rack key. Be sure to use the paddles from the box on the right for the small .22 star on the right of the range.

Use the larger paddles in the box on the left for the propeller for larger centerfire calibers.

You will ruin the smaller .22 paddles if you hit them with centerfire calibers.

Keys are selling quick so come on up and get yours.

Renew or Become an LSA Member !

As an existing member you can login to your member account at anytime to pay your renewal invoice online. If you are having difficulty logging in or your account doesn't get marked as paid automatically, please contact Dave Kistler at dekistler@comcast.net to help you get your account updated.

You can also join online by clicking on Members here or in the top Menu.

Dues are as follows - Regular Member dues are $100, Seniors and Juniors dues are $50 and Kids dues are $10. The initiation fee for new members is $35.

ATTENTION: NOT getting your LSA email or our newsletter online?

Be sure to check your Junk email and also please update your email in your LSA member account if you've changed it recently. We had approximately 20 members who did not receive a 2021 renewal invoice because the email address in their member record was no longer valid.

ATTENTION: NEW KEYS

We’ve decided to hold off on changing the Rifle Range gate key until we find out when the new automatic gate operator will be up and running. So for now, your key from last year will continue to open the gate, the range house and the member side of the shed.

We’ll let you know if and when we’re going to change out the gate key.

In the mean time, if you need keys:

House/shed keys are $3.00 and plate rack keys are $35.00 for the remainder of this year.

Range keys are available through the gun shop or Dave Kistler.

Plate Rack keys will be available at the gun shop or through Roger Lafleur or Dave Kistler.

Remember the plate rack key will work for the 2 centerfire racks as well as for the 2 rimfire racks!

In addition we’ll be adding two Texas Stars for you entertainment!

Members who don’t want to purchase a key can still use the plate racks on Sunday mornings for $5.00. Pay the on-duty RSO to unlock them.

Non-members may use them on Sunday mornings for $10.00.

The great thing about the plate racks is, you don't have to bring targets to the range, you don't have to wait for the green flag to check your targets and you get that instant, yet satisfying sound of the target being knocked over! Almost like shooting trap or skeet except with a handgun! Come on down to the range, bring your favorite (non-magnum) handgun and give it a whirl. You can also use .22 rifles if you don't have a handgun.

Resetting your Member password

Recently several members have had problems with resetting their member passwords.

The “problem” most of the time is that they haven’t used the whole password that is returned from the system.

The temporary password will be a combination of letters and numbers. They are case sensitive so be sure to type them in exactly as shown in the email that the system sends you. Every time you reset the password, you must use the new one that the system sends you.

Don’t forget to change the password once you log in.

Also, when you log into your account you will also see your membership card if your account is paid up to date. You may also print this card if you want to laminate it. If you want it down to wallet size, you will have to try different size settings until you get it to the size you want.
