Club Procedures, Range Rules & Safety Notices

All Hunting on TSC property is for members only. No guests are allowed to Hunt – Deer, Turkey, Rabbit, Goose, Duck, etc. You can Hunt anywhere on TSC property – marked in “RED” on the TSC map. For permission for a youth Hunter to join you, contact the Board of Directors. Exception: Pheasant hunting (during morning hunt hours on Saturday and Sunday only – if you are a guest of a “351” Member and have permission of the “351” coordinator). This is allowed due to the additional fees involved in Pheasant hunting and the ability to purchase an unlimited amount of Birds.

Many of our maps are broken into “Zones” (for Pheasant hunting purposes). Some old maps show a Zone #10 (right /East of the Zone #9 field which previously was leased) which is not TSC property. Hunting in Zone #10 is NOT allowed.

** See latest map on TSC Website **

Notes:

1) Members are NOT allowed to use personal ATV’s or Snow Mobiles on TSC property.

2) You must sign up on the clip board mounted to the side of the building (in the parking lot) every time you enter TSC property to hunt.

3) The “Old Railroad Tracks (Town path)” is Town property. You cannot have a loaded Gun on Town property. If you are going from our South side ditch to our North side ditch of the Town path (or vice versa), you must unload your Gun and it must remain unloaded until you exit Town property.

4) Big Game hunting with a Rifle is NOT allowed on TSC property.

5) If you have a Deer stand near our South ditch or North ditch (which has the Town Path between them), you can NOT shoot across the path.

6) For opening week of Deer shotgun season, “351” will not release Birds or Hunt.

7) For other weeks of Deer season: “351” will not release Pheasants in Zones 6+7 (North of the Town path) during Deer Bow and Shot Gun season (so minimal Pheasant Hunters will be in those fields throughout the Deer Bow and shotgun season thus leaving it more pleasurable to Deer Hunt in that area).

8) You MUST be a Member of TSC AND the “351” Pheasant program to hunt Pheasants on our property.

All tree stands must be manufactured. No homemade or wood constructed stands allowed. Stands cannot be installed until August 15th and must be removed by April 1st each season. A safety harness MUST be used in all stands (ladder, hang on & climbers) no exceptions. Members must have their name & phone number attached to any stands installed on Club property.

Stands not compliant to the above will be removed by the TSC Board of Directors.

The Shotgun Pattering Board is located to the left of Skeet Field #1. The Patterning board can help Trap or Skeet Shooters find their guns “point of Impact”.
This is important in finding where your guns shot pattern is relative to the clay target.You should grease the steel plate face and then place a spent (used) shotgun shell on the center peg to aim at. There is Grease and a roller for your use located behind the board.Then, stand approximately even with the back side of Trap house #1. Shoot 2 or 3 rounds at the spent shell. If your pattern is high or low or too far left or right, you can adjust the comb or vent rib, and retry your shot. Hopefully, this will result in more shot reaching the clay target. Please remember to use short brass with 7-1/2 to 9 shot size and lead shot only.

NO Steel shot, Deer Slugs, Rifles or Pistols are allowed.

Next to the Steel Pattering Board is a 4’ x 4’ plywood board (usually covered by cardboard) to learn the use of your home defense gun. Staple or tape your target to the cardboard. Then, stand approximately even with the back side of Trap House #1 to Shoot. Please remember to use short brass with 7-1/2 to 9 shot size only.

No Deer Slugs, Rifles, or Pistols are allowed.
