NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION:
The Club will be holding a new member orientation on Sunday, March 30, 2025 at 11 AM, immediately after breakfast. There will be a tour of the facilities along with instructions on opening the Trap & Skeet fields and pistol range. Completion of this Orientation will allow new members to get a key to the facilities!

MOVING BIRDS – We will need volunteers to move 5 pallets of birds from Naglees storage up to our trap & skeet fields before April’s Cameron Trap League begins. Let us know if you can help!
CAMERON TRAP LEAGUE – Our popular spring Trap League begins on April 23rd and runs every Wednesday culminating with a shoot-off on June 18th and an awards/steak dinner on June 25th. See our Flyer for more info. Any ATA trap shooters desiring to have their league trap targets registered with the ATA may pay an additional $7 per league. See Mike Dipetta for details.
BSA SCOUTS SPRING CAMPOREE – Our Club has agreed to host the Winding Rivers District Boy Scout Camporee again this spring, on May 16th thru May 18th.

SUMMER SKEET & TRAP LEAGUES – Schedule to be determined.
FALL BREAKFAST TRAP LEAGUE – This Trap League is open to the public and runs from October to early December, with 8 weeks of Sunday morning shooting. This League coincides with our Sunday Morning breakfasts, enabling our shooters to get a hearty breakfast before hitting the fields for a frosty shoot.
MONTHLY MEETINGS – Our monthly Club membership meetings take place on the first Wednesday of every month at 7 PM. Many of these meetings offer a meal beforehand, beginning at 6:00 PM. These meetings are your opportunity to participate in the decision-making and direction of YOUR Club!
OTHER NEWS:
CLUB APPAREL: – As usual, STR&G has apparel available for sale. We currently have hats in stock. We also plan on doing special orders for t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and vests periodically, but each item has a minimum order of 10 pieces, and interest to re-order has been low.

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.

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!
