Thurmont Conservation and Sportsman's Club provides a variety of activities, and we hold scheduled matches in many disciplines. We are affiliated with organizations including NRA, 2 Gun, 3 Gun, CMP, ATA, IDPA, SASS (Thurmont Conservation and Sportsman's Club is home of the "Thurmont Rangers"), and USPSA. Visit our disciplines tab for more information about these and other organizations. We also charter Venturing Crew 270, a group for young men and women ages 13 (and graduated the 8th grade) or 14 through 20. This group is a general interest club run by the youth, and they do everything from camping to shooting and much more. Also, the TCSC charters the "Top Shots" which is a shooting only youth program which participates in youth rifle, shotgun and pistol disciplines.
