Our next session is this coming Friday the 24th @ 6:30pm. As always, new shooters please arrive @ 6pm for safety and firearms orientation.
With the lousy weather hitting us this weekend it’s a good time to remind everyone that we follow the Lancaster Central School District closing policy. If LCSD schools are closed for the day (or after school activities are cancelled) on a shooting day, then shooting is also cancelled.
MANY THANKS to member Bill Siska for filling our tank for the air rifles. Not only did Bill set up our tank system when we first started the program but he’s been great about keeping us “topped off” so that we always have the rifles fully charged with air!
Our downstairs program had a great turnout last week. Kids were shooting self-supported from the bench, as well as standing and prone. The kids upstairs did a nice job last week with the BB guns. They are, admittedly, not the most accurate or well-sighted guns, but for the […]

ATTENTION MEMBERS!
It’s that time of year again . . . Your annual Membership Dues should be submitted to Ten X by the first day of every calendar year.
As per usual, there’s a bit of leeway here. At the very latest please get your payments in to the Club prior to the conclusion of the General Membership meeting on Monday the 3rd of February, 2020.
Dues for 2020 are $110.00
Annual 2020 rental fee for an Indoor Range Key Fob is $10.00
Assessment for not fulfilling your Volunteer Obligation in 2020 is $75.00 (If you fail to get all your work in for 2020, you will owe an assessment of $75.00 in 2021).
Most of you already have $50.00 deposited in an escrow account with Ten X. That means that most of you will owe an additional one-time payment of $25.00 in order to fully fund your Work Assessment Volunteer Escrow (WAVE) account.
Please direct any questions you may have regarding the fulfillment of your 2019 Volunteer Obligation […]

Our youth shooting program is off to a great start this year. In our first three sessions we’ve had eight brand new shooters, along with many returning shooters. Thanks to the efforts of Mark Martzoff (who promoted our program with some of our other members @ the Elma Conservation Club) and to great publicity by Bill Hilts, Jr. in The Buffalo News (both print and online) we are seeing many new faces. As well, an aggressive outreach to local clubs that we undertook this summer is also resulting in new interest.
Our sessions for the balance of 2019 are Friday November 8th, Friday November 22nd and Friday December 13th (no shooting on Friday December 27th.) As always first round downrange is @ 6:30pm but new shooters should arrive @ 6pm for safety and orientation training.

Brisk temperatures and rain the day before were no match for a well coordinated band of Club Members who took up the outdoor range work session on Sunday October 13. Much was accomplished. Brush and saplings encroaching on the driveway and both shooting ranges were cut back, the grass was mowed, wooden benches and target frames were sealed, target frames were taken in for the winter, and most significantly the statistical building siding project was almost […]

Our first session of the new season was on September 27th and attendance was very good. We had three new shooters plus several of our past shooters attend. As the summer turns to fall (and turns to winter) we know that attendance will continue to increase as it always does, so we’re optimistic for another very successful season.
We have submitted a grant request again this year to the NRA Foundation. The Foundation has been extremely generous to us for two years in a row and we’re optimistic that the continued success of the program, combined with the great support from our Board and members, will help us to receive another grant in 2020.
Thanks to Mark Martzolf for organizing our group to be at the Elma Conservation Club on September 28th to promote our youth shooting program. Mark, along with Tim Colf, Jim Weiberg and Mark’s son, all were on hand to let youngsters take a few shots down range with our air rifles. We’ve already received inquiries […]

The club record was broken again by our very own Joe McDonald. Joe was able to draw his firearm and hit 5 out of 5 steel targets in just 3.62 seconds. Nice shooting Joe !
