A big thanks to everyone that came out and pitched in on the work night September 11th. We were able to service the bullet trap and cleaned out the class room of construction debris and accumulated stuff. We drew Dean Grant’s name for the $50 Bass Pro gift card. He graciously gave it to Ken Friot for his efforts. Class act!

Thanks again to all that showed up to help!

The club has scheduled a work night for Monday September 11th starting at 5:00. We plan to service the backstop. This is something that needs to be done every 2 years. We need as many hands as possible in order to complete this in one evening. All members that show up to help will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Bass Pro gift card.

Please contact Greg Benincasa (gregb@beebeconstruction.com) if you have any questions.

The 2023-2024 Sporterifle season begins on Monday September 18th. There will not be a scheduled practice night this year. Relays are at 4:30 and 5:30.

As you may have noticed the website has a new look and feel to it.  We have converted to a new software package that gives us more flexibility in handling photos, posts and events.  

As of now there is NO need for any member to have a separate login as all of the information on the site is public by it’s nature.  If the time comes that we need a private portion of the site setup for club members only then we will work with members to allow access to those that need it.

If you see anything that is incorrect on the site or a link that doesn’t work please let me know and I’ll get it fixed.

Thanks

Here are some pictures from around the club plus some extras that are “interesting”.  Enjoy.

Here is the link to the NYSP web site for recertification of your pistol license as required under the SAFE Act. If your license was issued before January 15, 2013, you are required to complete your recertification before January 31, 2018.

https://troopers.ny.gov/Firearms/

The State Police began mailing out notification letters on January 3rd. There is, however, no guarantee that they have a valid address for all licensees. Even if you do not receive notification, you are still ultimately responsible for completing the recertification process. You will have to repeat this process every 5 years. Upon completion of the certification procedure, you will be given your next “due date.” You can submit your information on line or print out a paper document and submit it by mail. Paper forms are also available at all NYSP locations. While local licensing authorities are not directly involved in the process, they may have the forms available.

PLEASE NOTE: This system does not handle Westchester County, Nassau County, Suffolk County or New York City issued licenses. Each of these jurisdiction’s current procedures still apply.
