Chaplain Services for Our Club Community

A chaplain provides spiritual and emotional support to individuals in various settings offering guidance, performing religious ceremonies, and helping people navigate personal challenges regardless of their specific religious beliefs. They are not simply religious leaders or advisors but rather compassionate listeners and guides who meet people where they are on their personal journeys.

The role of a chaplain is multifaceted and varies depending on the setting in which they serve. Through their words, presence, and prayer, they are able to instill a sense of peace and resilience in individuals who may be facing overwhelming circumstances. Chaplains provide spiritual and emotional care to people from all walks of life by offering spiritual guidance and/or prayer for people where they are. They offer a source of strength and solace, helping individuals find meaning and purpose in the midst of their challenges.

Chaplain Baberadt is available to all members on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:00PM before the club meeting or by reaching out to him directly at (603) 682-9233 or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

For outside non-member instructors, the insurance carrier must send the certificate directly to LFGC.

COURSE CONDUCT OUTLINE

Every instructor shall provide to LFGC a course conduct outline FOR the course to be taught.

When scheduling conflicts occur, LFGC reserves the right to move a class to an alternate range. While this is extremely rare, Leaders will never cancel a class due to a schedule conflict but will make an alternative suitable arrangement.

Thank you for visiting Londonderry Fish & Game Club Website today. This information is provided as an effort to assist non-members with the most asked questions to alleviate excess telephone traffic, emails, and other communications.

I am looking for a place to sight in my hunting rifle. What are your fees for me to do that?

LFGC does not offer public use. Londonderry Fish and Game Club is a private (member-only) 501 C (7) organization. As such, to charge a for fee use of our ranges would create an ancillary commerce structure and liability for taxation. Moreover, due to insurance structuring and risk management, we do not engage in commercial efforts. One alternative is for that person to find a member who would be willing to bring that person as a guest.

Where am I on the waiting list?

LFGC does not give out that information. The simple reason is we would be getting a dozen calls per day asking the same question. Club Officers and directors are not full time. They are not paid salaries and are splitting their time between duties of the club and their personal lives.

How do I get on the waiting list?

Membership Term begins January 1 of each year and ends December 31 of that same year. Every year we will fill open membership spots of members who do not renew, so we never know how many open spots we will have each year. Open membership spots are filled from the wait list which usually opens March 1st and is open until we reach 200 people. This usually happens in less than 24 hours. FYI: The wait list is purged every year and does not carry over to the next year.

I'm not receiving email or notices from LFGC?

If you are using a FREE email address such as Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, AOL etc, remember to always check your spam folder. Most of these mail services are anti-gun folks and most of a our emails go to spam in many cases and sometimes they simply don't deliver it to you at all. It is your responsibilty to check your spam as LFGC cannot be responisible for what your email provider does with the email once we send it. This includes the waitlist notifications, if you use a free email service and our notifications for the waitlist goes to spam, this is not our problem.

Why do you only open your waiting list for a short period of time?

In past years, LFGC has had more than 600 people on the list. During the COVID 19 period, we had only 44 memberships to offer. Still, we have an average of 60 to 110 memberships to offer annually. Membership is based on how many members we can accept within our membership cap. It doesn’t seem fair to give false hope to people and have them languish for years on the list. And of course, the list will grow with each year.

Do you have an indoor range?

No. LFGC does not have any indoor facilities.

AIR PELLET PURCHASE PROGRAM

The former government program that issued surplus government smallbore ammunition to DCM-affiliated clubs free of charge ended in FY2000 when supplies of surplus government smallbore ammunition were exhausted. The CMP replaced this program with volume-purchase commercial contracts that continue to make attractively priced ammunition that is especially suitable for junior marksmanship training available.

All CMP affiliates, regular and special, are eligible to buy unlimited quantities of this ammunition if they sponsor youth marksmanship training. These .22 cal. rimfire ammo, air rifle pellets and BBs are sold at CMP costs that are kept as low as possible by making volume purchases.

The CMP Affiliate Rifle Purchase Program is a CMP program in which CMP-affiliated schools, junior clubs, teams and camps can purchase .177 cal precision and sporter air rifles, and .22 cal smallbore rifles for target training and competition by beginning to intermediate level shooters. These rifles also may be purchased through the CMP delayed payment plan that allows purchaser to distribute payments over a two-year span.

Be Part of the Marksmanship Clinic Program

In one of the CMP’s older programs, instructional clinics are offered by affiliated organizations so that individuals in their areas can fulfill the CMP marksmanship participation requirement to become eligible to purchase CMP rifles. Many of these clinics, in fact, are called “Garand Clinics.” These local clinics also provide firearm safety training and an introduction to target and range firing for large numbers of adult and junior shooters.

The CMP provides instructional materials and low-cost ammunition for the clinics. Last year, 117 of these clinics were sanctioned by the CMP and provided instruction to over 1,800 individuals.

For pricing and availability of ammunition for Club clinics and matches, pease contact Christina Roguski at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or (419) 635-2141 ext. 714

To help clinic sponsors promote their clinics, the CMP posts current lists of all sanctioned clinics on Competition Tracker. When the clinic sponsor provides a report on how many people attended the clinic, the CMP will provide certificates of clinic completion that these individuals can then use to verify completion of the marksmanship participation requirement necessary to purchase a government surplus rifle from CMP.

Sanctioned CMP Games Matches

Over the years, Sanctioned CMP Games Matches have grown in number and popularity.  The CMP introduced the John C. Garand Match as a National Matches event in 1999. This innovative competition is restricted to commonly available M1 Garand rifles in “as-issued” condition. It features a course of fire that can be completed by shooting sports enthusiasts who do not have formal target shooting experience, but it is still challenging to experienced competitors. The match was an instant success and demonstrated how rifle competitions that appeal to recreational target shooters have the potential to become very popular. The Garand Match quickly grew from just over 300 competitors in its first year to become the National Matches biggest single event at nearly 1,400 plus competitors.

In 2002, the CMP introduced two new events that feature the same principles as the Garand Match. A new Springfield and Vintage Military Rifle Match at Camp Perry attracted over 600 competitors in just its second year. A new Rimfire Sporter Rifle Match now offers a national event at Camp Perry and a fast-growing series of club matches. The CMP designated all of these mass-appeal competitions as “CMP Games” events. To make these matches available at the club level, the CMP sanctions Club Garand Matches as well as Club Springfield, Vintage Military Bolt Rifle, Carbine and Rimfire Sporter Matches.

The CMP has also added theVintage Sniper Match to its Garand-Springfield-Military (GSM) lineup, featuring two-person teams firing scoped vintage rifles at distances of 300 and 600 yards.

The CMP posts a list of all sanctioned matches on Competition Tracker.

Excellence-in-Competition (EIC) Pistol & EIC Rifle Matches

The most prestigious and coveted marksmanship awards in the U.S. are the Distinguished Badges that are won in EIC competitions. The EIC Program establishes competition standards, maintains individual shooters’ records, award points toward the Distinguished designation and presents the badges and medals. Distinguished status requires earning 30 points in a series of “leg” competitions that could span several years of challenging competitive shooting. Only CMP-affiliated organizations may apply to conduct EIC matches. A list of EIC Matches can be found on Competition Tracker.

M1 Garand Rifle Sales Program

Qualified U.S. citizens who are members of a CMP-affiliated club may qualify for the purchase of an M1 Garand rifle. M1 rifles are graded and priced according to condition. The CMP also sells some types of .22 cal. target rifles that were procured by the military for training.

For more information on the CMP government-surplus rifle sales program, visit the CMP Sales web site.

Government-Surplus Rifle Sales Program

Certain government-surplus rifles are available for sale to affiliated clubs at special club prices. CMP Affiliated clubs receive a 10% discount on government-surplus rifles. For more information on the CMP government-surplus rifle sales program, visit the CMP Sales web site.
