Falmouth Rod & Gun Club

Falmouth Rod & Gun Club is a Maine shooting sports club with a full calendar of competitions across multiple disciplines. Members and public shooters can compete in trap shooting, action pistol, rifle silhouette, and archery events.

Competitive Events - Trap shooting (Sundays at 10am, weather permitting) - Action pistol matches (Saturdays, weather permitting) - Rifle silhouette practice (Wednesdays, resumes June) - Archery competitions (Sundays, spring season) - Dave Schneider Memorial Championship (Falling Plates competition) - Annual Turkey Shoot (November)

Youth Programs The club runs an Indoor Youth Archery Program for ages 6-11 and middle/high school teens. Sessions run Friday mornings January through May. Loaner equipment is complimentary, and new archers are welcome. A responsible adult must remain on-site—drop-offs aren't allowed. Volunteers are needed to support the program.

This is the club's signature falling plate event. Shooters compete in multiple classifications:

• •Entry Fees: $20 first entry, $10 second entry. You need 96 rounds per match—ammunition is not provided.

Falmouth operates a cold range where all firearms must be unloaded except when actively firing. The club enforces strict safety protocols including finger discipline, muzzle control, and mandatory eye/ear protection. All activities require Range Safety Officer instruction and oversight.

Beyond regular competitions, the club hosts a summer Annual Auction & Cookout (2026 date TBA) where members can donate sporting equipment and firearms-related items. The November Turkey Shoot is a popular seasonal event—the 2025 event attracted 28 shooters.
