Welcome to our club site.
The Phippsburg Sportsmen’s Association is located in the coastal community of Phippsburg, Maine. The club house is on Route 209, 3.5 miles from US Route 1 in Bath. Established in 1955, the clubs early years consisted of events such as turkey shoots, raising and releasing pheasant and quail and lobster suppers. For many years there was a drop in membership. The club was used by the Phippsburg Recreation Committee for community events. They also held annual turkey shoots, one of the most popular fall shooting events. In 1998 enough interest was shown to start re-organizing the Sportsmen’s Association. In the fall of 1999 the A.L.F. (Animal Liberation Front), a group of anti-hunting terrorists, broke into and vandalized the club house. Since that time the membership has gone from less than 100 members to well over 300 members a year. Club was honored by Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine as Sportsman Club of the Year 2002. The club is now involved in many events. One of our biggest events is the Ice Fishing Derby in February, which draws over 200 youth anglers. At this event every youth angler leaves with a prize as well as a chance to win a Maine Lifetime Fishing License (9 License’s given to date). In the summer we hold a Youth Field Day with youths participating in events such as kayaking, archery, air rifle shooting, fishing and animal identification and trapping. These two events are very community orientated and are sponsored by local people and over 100 Mid Coast area businesses. These events are held with help from the Winnegance Wheelers, Mid Coast Anglers and the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife.
The club also supports several local, state and national organizations.
