Colter Bates and family have been contributing volunteers in our community for many years and in many ways. One BIG way they help is by donating the services of their company, Country Landscaping. Many of the recent ongoing projects would not have been completed without the donation of time and use of equipment by Country Landscaping. Country Landscaping and other Community Partners are working with the LFGA Shooting Sports Facility Operator to improve and enhance the member experience and maintain…

We are looking for a couple of donations of some specific items to help with the LFGA’s History Project and to help us maintain the hut. We ate looking for someone to donate: TWO (in total) decent quality LOCKING file cabinets to store things in safely.

One of the BIGGEST obstacles to new hunters (beginners or hunters that have moved regions) is the question WHERE can I hunt here? Most often the BEST hunting is on land that has controlled access or is private. Most local hunters don’t like to share their spots so new hunters are often left with only heavily over hunted public areas. Well here is the solution! Mr Tedd Walcott is presenting his second course in his custom designed hunting success for…

Range # 3 is for .22lr (long rifle) ammunition ONLY – NO other calibres or variants are allowed. Two members so far have had to retake their RO course for not following this rule. This range has always been .22lr only (unless a special booking and risk assessment has been completed and approved by the Range Operator.) This rule will strictly be enforced to protect the target assets and range infrastructure. It also provides a low-stress environment for those shooters/family…

As the LFGA has continued to grow the needs of our Shooting Sports Facility and Conservation projects for volunteers and also continued to grow. I felt that I could no longer provide the focus the volunteers deserved as they shared my time with Political Action and Communications (Amalgamated and renamed Community Relations Chair) We put out a limited call within our community for a very special person to take over the Volunteer Chair full- time and were very lucky that…

Hello Archers,Tom Hopkins our volunteer who looks after the archery range has sent the white archery targets that were on the north range away for repair.  He expects them to be back on the week of the 25th of March.  He advises that the 3D range is still operational but remember to use the correct lubricated arrows for these targets. Using anything but field points that have not been lubricated will damage the expensive 3D targets.   The range allocates…
