Danvers Fish & Game Club, Inc.
20 Birch Road Middleton , MA 01983

Once on Club property, proceed straight past the green Club main building on the left, pass the archery ranges on your right, and continue down the dirt road. Parking is at the end, past the cabin and wooden lean too area.
 
Does the "patched round ball only," rule mean smoothbore shooters can't use wadding without a patch, or is it just to eliminate sabots and conical?
Also, can someone who has a rear sight on their smoothbore participate but not for score?
 
Patched Ball Rule - Ball must have patch or tow or paper cartridge to ensure it stays loaed in the breech, as the Club had an unfortunate instnace with a vareball load shooter once ...

Rear Sight on a Smoothie - Yes, we would welcome you but not for score.

Thanks.
Folks may want me to shoot for score even with my rear sight, "that guy," who always holds the bottom place will get a chance to move up, 😆
