The Captain Kidd Rod and Gun Club was formed in 1937 as the "Owl's Head Rod and Gun Club,"  on land donated by Lewis Miller. In 1954 the  name was  changed to,   "Captain Kidd Rod and Gun Club."    The club is situated on the edge of the bay.  It's new name came from the legend of  Captain William Kidd and his treasure supposedly hidden on nearby Oak Island.  Treasurer hunters are still seeking  this treasure. 

2010 Membership Renewal Notice

CAPTAIN KIDD ROD & GUN

Yes, another year has passed and it is time once again to renew your membership to the Club. Dues this year will remain at $45 with new membership at $50. By years’ end in 2009, membership stood at 77 senior members and 13 junior members. 

Our annual meeting will be held January 13^th , 2010.  At that time, election of officers will take place.  It is important that all members try to attend.

This past year has seen more improvement to the club with the installation of a new backstop and increased wall thickness to the range. The lighting in the range has also been improved and will be of great assistance to those that have waning eyesight. Thanks to all those who worked so hard to see this work carried out. Once the Provincial Firearms Officer has carried out his inspection we should be able to start shooting big bore handguns in the range.

Regular monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday evening of the month.

Archery is each Wednesday evening beginning around 7 p.m.

Card Night continues to be held on Thursday evenings, the contact person is Dawson Baker 275-4037.

Our monthly skeet shoot will be held on the last Sunday of the month beginning around 10 a.m.  The contact person is Dwayne Baker 275-2555.

The .22 range has been quiet for the past while. Hopefully this year there will be renewed interest in having a regular .22 shoot.

Thanks to all the members who participated in the fund raising and work B’s carried out at the Club this past year. For our Club to continue to progress participation from the membership is crucial.

Hope to see you at the Club
