Lower Merion Rod and Gun Club

Please review the updated Hunting Season Rules and Regulations – there have been changes from previous years.

It is imperative that all Pennsylvania Game Commission laws are adhered to.

ENJOY AND HUNT SAFELY

The Managing Board of LMRGC at the Sept. 18th meeting voted on the new hunting season regulations. All members hunting the club grounds Must have a valid club hunting permit issued by John Gallagher. This is for small game and deer. You must have your dues paid up to be eligible to obtain the permit. All Pa game laws must be observed at all times.

The shooting ranges will be open for use on Wednesdays,Thursdays, and Sundays during deer season. This includes the late season after Christmas. Hunting the grounds after the new year will require 2025 dues to be paid prior to January 1st.

I wish everyone a safe hunting season. If you are using the ranges all safety rules must be observed.

If you have any questions about hunting the club please contact John Gallagher at 610-955-9327.

Key Club Information

As the summer season comes to a close, the fall months will providing us with several key club activities that I would like to share with you.

The Fall Outing over the past couple of years has not been well attended and the board understand how family commitments take priority, so we have decided to create a new format. The Fall Outing this year will be combined with the September Meat Shoot to be held on Sunday, September 18th.

The club will provide hamburgers, hot dogs and sodas for all, free of charge throughout the day. Members, Family, & Friends are welcome to bring their own “goodies” as sharing amongst everyone in attendance has always been of the highlights.

The Meat Shoot will be held on Traps 1, 2 & 3 during the normal scheduled times. Once the meat shoot has concluded the club with open up traps 1 & 2 for regular shooting for $6 per squad. Trap 3 will be open for free and be shooting for “pickups”. This is a great opportunity for the beginner to get some instructions and learn about the great sport of trap shooting.

The Federation 22-23 Season begins with its opening shoot being held on Sunday, September 25th. Lower Merion’s first Federation shoot is now scheduled for Sunday, October 2nd.

While you are marking your calendars, don’t forget to post our Otober Meat Shoot which will be held on Sunday, October 16th.

This years Fall Outing will be on Saturday Sept. 11th. The rain date will be Saturday Sept. 18th. We will be serving Roasted Pig and Corn on the cob. This outing is open to everyone. We will have the hay wagon up and ready to go for all the children regaurdless of their age. Bring you friends. The more the merry. This outing is free!!! There will be a donation jar if you wish to donate. Many people bring snacks and deserts so come hungry. Hope to see you there!!! This is an outdoor event and at this time masks will not be required unless you are unvaccinated. Unvaccinated people are asked to wear masks for their safety. We want evertone to enjoy themselves safely.

It is necessary to require that everyone stay distancing and wear a mask while in the club house until further notice. We want everyone to stay healthy and this will help. We also want everyone to limit the time spent indoors while at the club events.

The board wishes everyone a Happy New Year and a Healthy 2021.
