    The club will be assisting hunters to sight in their firearms prior to the up-coming hunting season. 

    Just in time for moose hunting, the Upper Humber Rod and Gun Association is hosting a “SIGHT IN DAYS”  all this week. Each evening this week from 6 to 8 pm hunters of the upcoming Big Game season are invited to the club range at 177 Goose Arm Road.  The club will be assisting hunters to sight in their firearms prior to the up-coming hunting season.  This will help with marksmanship skills ensuring proper shot placement and hopefully a more successful hunting season with no losses or wounded animals escaping. This will also highlight  any firearms or equipment issues giving time to correct any identified troubles prior to the hunting season. Archery and Crossbow targets are available for target arrows only. There are 3 targets that can be set up on a different range. Contact numbers and information can be found at upperhumberrodandgun.com
