Sundays, starting September 20

Breakfast is back

One of our favorite Sunday traditions returns. Kick off NRA Day with a hearty breakfast from Chef Dan before heading out to the ranges — or just stop by for a great breakfast and some time with fellow members.

Sunday, September 20 · 9 AM–Noon · Rain or shine

We’ll have more than 100 silhouette targets set up for an arcade-style shooting experience. We’ll also be opening the pond for fishing, so if you’d rather cast a line, bring your fishing gear.

Important — please read

Preserve access & hunting reminder

As we head into hunting season, please remember that High Roost operates within a designated preserve area of LSA property, and different rules apply within those boundaries during preserve season.

September 15 through March 31

You must be a High Roost member to hunt birds within the designated preserve area.
Hunting anything other than birds within the designated preserve area is prohibited during this period, with the exception of the designated two-week shotgun deer season in December.
Hunting outside of the designated preserve area remains open to LSA members in accordance with all club rules and state hunting regulations — and is encouraged.

Please be aware of preserve boundaries before heading into the field. These restrictions allow preserve operations and other hunting activities on LSA property to safely coexist throughout the season.

Work begins the week of August 24

New trails & better access to LSA property

Beginning the week of August 24, we’ll start clearing several new paths throughout LSA property. We expect the initial path work to be completed by the first week of September. These new paths will help open up portions of our extensive property that have historically been more difficult for members to access and enjoy.

Please note

This initial path cutting will be available for general member use starting April 1.

Recreation

Access to the back acreage

Portions of the property that have been hard to reach on foot.

Hunting

More usable club land

Additional ground for members to hunt and explore in season.

Safety

Improved emergency access

Faster routes into more areas of LSA property when it matters.

This is just the start of a larger initiative to open up more of LSA’s extensive property for recreation and hunting. Over time we plan to continue clearing, improving, and connecting paths throughout the property. LSA owns a tremendous outdoor resource, and we want our members to have more opportunities to explore it, hunt it, and enjoy it.

Range update

Upper Pistol Range — new .22 racks

We have replaced the .22 LR racks on the Upper Pistol Range. A quick reminder for everyone using the range:

Blue means .22

Please pay attention to and follow all posted signage on the Upper Pistol Range. The new markings are designed to make the proper target and caliber requirements easy to identify. Following the range rules protects our equipment and helps keep the ranges safe and available for everyone.

Youth shooting sports

Congratulations, Bryce Morey & the Leominster Dust Devils

Congratulations to Bryce Morey and the entire Leominster Dust Devils youth Trap & Skeet team on a stellar season.
