Club History
Our club was founded and chartered by the NRA in April of 1947 by a group of Athol shooters under the organization of Mr. Bertram E. Dugan who was elected as the first president. At the time the club was known as the Athol and Orange Pheasant Club. Later in the year the name was changed to the Woodsman Rifle and Pistol Club. During the club's first two years members had to travel to Gardner for all shooting activities. Conditions improved in April of 1949 when members purchased the old State Guard range which is located one mile beyond Clubhouse Pond on Tully Brook Rd.The club first entered a pistol team in the Worcester County League during the winter of 1950-51 and remains competitive today.Woodsman Rifle and Pistol established its current location with the purchase of land on Doe Valley Rd. in 1958.In the early 1960's two outdoor shooting ranges were constructed. The first indoor range was built in the mid-60's but was converted into a chicken coop.Since those early days the club has organized many activities, cowboy shoots, trap and sporting clays among them.
