About the Club

The Andover Sportsman's Club

   We are a small sportsman's club of around 300 members. We own and operate 160 acres of land where deer, turkey, and other wild game roam. Some controlled hunting on the property is allowed. We currently have 4 active trap fields, a 100-yard rifle/pistol range, a 25-yard tactical pistol range, and a 30 target action archery course. We also have sporting clays at various times during the year. There are member competitions being held all seasons of the year.

The club holds several dinners annually. February starts off with our game dinner. Served are the traditional venison, pheasant, smoked fish, squirrel, and wild turkey. We also have had elk, boar, rabbit, beaver, moose, and bear, depending on the donations we get from the hunting members. March announces our Irish night with corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and more. Polish night, in April, is a favorite with homemade potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage, and other Polish dishes. Italian night in May provides some very good Italian dishes such as lasagna, chicken, sausage and peppers and more. In October we hold an Oktoberfest. A Turkey-less Thanksgiving dinner concludes our yearly dinner schedule in November.

NRA-certified classes, open to the public, are held throughout the year to certify participants as Range Safety Officers, Pistol Permit Instructors, and to earn certificates to apply for CCW permits.
