Here's the address - P.O. Box 792  Northboro, MA 01532-0792 phone 508-845-6960. The association is on the verge of folding.  I recall that the last issue of One Good Shot (the quarterly publication) stated that there are less than 700 members.  I find that the quarterly magazine has gotten thinner and thinner - I don't think it's worth anything anymore.  I'm not going to renew this Spring when my membership is up.  Some folks may have a different opinion though.

Thanks for the info--I have heard so much about it but never knew how to get in touch with them. How much is membership anyway????
Thats unfortunate it is circling the drain-I will call them though and see what they have to say.
Thanks again

the problems appear to be getting people to write in with stories and info to keep it going. I am guilty of not contributing any stories but I really don't have any great hunting stories. I do enjoy reading the stories and have purchased a few of the limited edition bbls and have in my collection (but shoot it) a TCA contender stainless frame in smooth side. I would really hope it can continue. but I see the electronic age may be ending the run of smaller groups that funtion like the TCA, R

I believe Ed Kirtpatrick of Ed's TCs (an advertiser on this site - see his banner on the TC Handgun Forum) now owns it either entirely or in partnership with some others. You can contact Ed for more info.

Hey, thanks for the web site, Gary.  I knew about the changes, but did not know about the site.  It's nice to have all the email address in one place.
