By Matt Giansante, on June 23rd, 2018 Unfortunately, we did not have any youth shooters attend our first outdoor shooting date on June 11th. We realize that school exams were happening at this time, along with concerts, recitals, etc. Our next session is on July 9th, with a rain date of July 11th. If attendance is sparse or none, then we’ll cancel the session for August and resume with our indoor sessions starting in September.
Speaking of our indoor season, starting this coming September, we will be shooting EVERY Friday, with a few nights off during the holiday season, and when there is a “fifth” Friday in a month. The program is evolving and the changes will allow for our youngest shooters (ages nine through eleven and older) to fire both BB and pellet guns, with a program in place that will have the shooters work to achieve certain scores. They will receive certificates and badges for each level they achieve. Thanks to Ten X member Dan DeKruger for taking on this program. Our shooters 12 and older will be able […]

By Matt Giansante, on May 18th, 2018 Our indoor Youth Shooting season is complete. We will be shooting at the outdoor range on the following dates:
June 11th @ 6:30pm (Rain Date: 6/13) July 9th @ 6:30pm (Rain Date: 7/11) August 13th @ 6:30pm (Rain Date: 8/15)
This shooting will be smallbore (.22lr) so it will be limited to our shooters ages 12 and up.
Our indoor shooting for all shooters will resume on September 7th. We have plans to expand to shoot every Friday starting in the fall and we’ll be offering both “recreational” and “instructional” programs, alternating weeks. More details to come as the weeks progress.

Here are the pictures from the 2018 Awards Banquet that was held on Saturday April 28th. This year Tex X Shooting Club was represented very well with two tables and won the Ed Rose Memorial Trophy. The club finished first this year with 26 wins and 6 loses overall. Thanks to all those that came out for the banquet.
By Editor, on April 21st, 2018 At the risk of jinxing spring, it looks like the snow has finally melted! Which brings us to the May 2018 Newsletter. But first a reminder: the next General Membership meeting will be Monday, May 7, 2018, at 7:30 pm at the Indoor Range at 853 Ransom Road.

By Matt Giansante, on April 17th, 2018 On April 19, 2018, and May 15, 2018, we will be hosting a special youth shooting night for a pair of local Scout Troops. On the 19th, the UPSTAIRS indoor range will be restricted to the youth shooting event and the Girl Scouts. The downstairs range will be open for the regular Thursday evening open shooting.
On Tuesday, May 15th we will be hosting a special youth shooting night for a local Boy Scout Troop. Open shooting will be unavailable to the general membership that evening.
Our Youth Shooting program continues to grow and these special sessions are another way we are introducing the youth of our community to shooting in a safe and educated environment. Our goal is that shooters who attend these sessions will return to participate in both our open youth shooting program and even consider our newly established Competitive Team.
By Matt Giansante, on March 11th, 2018 There will be an informational meeting regarding the formation of a Smallbore (22lr) and Air Rifle competitive youth shooting team represented by Ten X on Wednesday, March 28th @ 6pm at the indoor range, which is located at 853 Ransom Road, between Walden & Broadway in Lancaster. Prospective shooters are asked to please bring at least one parent or guardian to the meeting.
We are happy to announce the Mr. Leif Johnson, the Rifle Team Coach at Lancaster High School has agreed to be the primary coach of the program. Other members of Ten X will assist, including several who have shot competitively for many years and/or are NRA certified instructors or coaches.
The purpose of this meeting will be to introduce shooters and their parents/guardians to the club and to Coach Johnson. While we have some ideas as to what the team can do, we want the input of those “founding team members” so that we offer the kind […]

By Matt Giansante, on January 10th, 2018 We are happy to announce that the Ten X Youth Shooting Program has received an NRA Foundation grant for the second year in a row. The NRA Foundation awarded our program with Five Ruger American .22LR rifles with magazines, five Champion’s Choice shooting mats and five offhand stands. The total value of the grant is over $2,600! Combined with our 2016 grant, we now have eight .22LR rifles for our program. This will allow us to grow the program beyond air rifle shooting. This is especially important now that the Section VI high school sports organization has decided to only offer air rifle shooting for those high schools with rifle teams. Ten X will be able to serve as one of the only places in the area where young shooters can continue to improve their shooting of rimfire rifles.

Here is an interesting article that was posted in a local newspaper to get an extension:
Ortt urges delay in pistol recertification deadline Submitted Thu, Jan 4th 2018 05:30 pm On Thursday, New York State Sen. Rob Ortt, R-North Tonawanda, called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to delay the NY SAFE Act’s pistol recertification deadline. As outlined in the NY SAFE Act, pistol permitholders who fail to recertify their license by the Jan. 31 deadline will have their license revoked. “Pistol permitholders need to be aware that this deadline is approaching quickly,” Ortt said. “Individuals who are caught with a pistol and an outdated license will be subject to prosecution as outlined by the NY SAFE Act. While […]
