Next up is the FLAT League Shoot Off which is scheduled for Sunday, March 17th beginning at 8 AM, hosted this year by Sullivan Trail Rod & Gun Club. There are 143 shooters qualified for this event, and we are expecting a big turnout and a very busy day. We are going to need lots of help from our volunteers in scoring, pulling, loading houses, and in the kitchen preparing breakfast and lunch. See you there!

Events this year include Rifle, Shotgun, Laser Pistol, BB Gun, Archery, Hover Archery, Tomahawk, Fly Tying and Fly Casting. An event flyer can be seen HERE.

Our inaugural season hosting the Elmira School District “Express Team” in the NYSHSCTL on our Skeet & Trap fields has come to a successful close. The Trap Team finished a respectable 3rd place in Conference #7. The Skeet Team finished an outstanding 2nd in the State. Skeet shooters Luke Stoner, Adam Rosekrans and Brandon Wood all placed in the Top 10 in the State. Several of our shooters are now on their way to the New York State Tournament to be held in Cicero in late June. Congratulations to all of our young shooters!

The new pistol range is now OPEN! The range was completed on schedule and within budget. This is an expansive pit-style range and is a great new shooting venue for our facility. It is 75 yards long and has a 12′ high berm at the rear and an 8′ high berm along the road. A new gong rack and three permanent target stands have been installed on the range. The Club’s competition plate rack is now located at the end of the range for use by members at any time. A 12″ gong has been located up on the hillside for an extra shooting challenge. This range is for use with handguns and 22LR caliber rifles.

HUNTING SEASON IS HERE!
Just a reminder: If you are hunting on our Club grounds and expect to be out beyond the Rifle Range, place one of these orange targets on the Rifle Range shooting bench. Likewise, if you are hunting in the area above the Pistol Range, there is a triangle on the side of the clubhouse that should be placed on the Pistol Range shooting bench. THESE TRIANGLES ARE THERE FOR YOUR SAFETY!
IF YOU SEE THE TRIANGLE ON THE BENCH, ASSUME SOMEONE IS HUNTING IN THE WOODS AND DO NOT SHOOT ON THAT RANGE!
AND, IF YOU PUT THE TRIANGLE ON THE BENCH, PLEASE REMOVE IT WHEN YOU ARE DONE HUNTING!
