Thank you to Al for putting together our Post-NFPL and Post SPL schedule of activities. He has come up with a bunch of fun shoots for all to participate in:

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 […]

Our final shooting session for 2019 is this coming Friday @ 6:30pm. New shooters, as always, please arrive @ 6pm. We will not be shooting on December 27th due to the holidays.

Looking ahead to 2020, here are the remaining dates we’ll be shooting:

January 10th & 24th (note that January is another five-Friday month so it will actually be a three week gap between our second shooting day in January and our first shooting day in February February 14th & 28th March 13th & 27th April 24th (no shooting on April 10th due to Good Friday) May 8th – final shooting day of the shooting season

A reminder that in the case of inclement weather we follow the Lancaster Central School District closing policy. If the district closes school on a shooting day, our shooting is cancelled. If the distract cancels after school activities, again our shooting is cancelled.

We are off to a great start this year. We’ve had almost a dozen brand new shooters, in addition […]

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 […]

On Saturday September 28th our club has the opportunity to be a part of the Elma Conservation Club’s annual National Hunting & Fishing Day event. We have the opportunity to man their 50 foot outdoor rifle shooting range and give kids who are attending the chance to take a few shots at a target. The hope is that this will generate some interest in our program and help to grow our attendance. It will also be a good opportunity for us to promote the club as a whole.

Mark Martzolf, who is also a member @ Elma, is coordinating this. He is in need of some additional volunteers to help out that day. It runs from 9am to 4pm. If we could get people to take two hour shifts, it would be a huge help. If you can help please reach out to him. His e-mail is mtmartzolf@hotmail.com
