Rifle Range

[dsdmmat]

Ok ladies and gentlemen I am going to spill the beans about something only a couple of people ( ABG and Celt) know about me.

I am the president of the New Bremen Fish and Game Club in New Bremen, Ny. We have a 400 yard range complex with a target line for pistol at 7,10,15, 25 and 50 yards and for rifles at 100,200,300 and 400 yards.

If you live in the Jefferson, Lewis or St Lawerence county area we are not too far away from you.

The club has around 80 members and annual dues are 25 bucks a year for 2016. I rarely ever see anyone at the range on the weekend and I tend to spend about 8-10 hours there each weekend.

We are on Facebook (New Bremen Fish Game Club) and if you are up my way I would be happy to take you there and show you around. Maybe launch some lead down range if you have the time.

Any Questions?

I have a question? Why can't you be closer to me?

Sounds like a great place with very reasonable dues.

 

[dsdmmat]

Well you do own a car, don't you?

 

[Jaywmustang]

Man wish I was closer.

 

[NirvanaFan]

Well you do own a car, don't you?

True, it's "only" 3 hours each way

Thanks for the info dsdmmat, looks like a nicer setup than Sackets Harbor.

Friends of mine from Appleseed have nothing but good things to say about this Range and look forward to shooting there! Someday I hope to get up there myself!!

I shoot at Sackets every now and then but it is a 40 mile one way drive for me and they can get crowded.

 

[Phauxtoe]

Dues are Beyond Reasonable!
I see you have Appleseed shoots there!

I cant say enough great stuff about Appleseed!
Perhaps i can come up for one, any camping around those parts? My son is begging me to go camping with him.
a combination Camp and Shoot would be great!

 

[dsdmmat]

There are camping sites in the area.

 

[Calculon]

Looks like a great place. 4hrs though

We could do a forum weekend steel shoot in the future and I could convince my officers to allow an overnight stay for all participants for a small fee ( cover the electric, trash removal and water usage).

I am looking to get some AR 500 steel targets and set up a course of fire for rifles out to 400 yards. It would have to be after the spring thaw though. Maybe 40 shots, 10 at each distance. I could set up a pistol shoot for the same weekend too. This would take a lot of coordination. Figure maybe a 25 dollar fee for the shoot and maybe 20 bucks for the 2 night overnight stay. We don't have showers but we have bathrooms in the clubhouse.

I don't know, really depends upon the interest level.

 

[Celt]

Thats a good set up man, we need to get people doing more shooting/training in this state again.

I would try like hell to that!

400 yards sounds good to me ! I am 4 hours away but would travel for an opportunity to shoot at a range like this. Maybe put together a 3 gun match with a sweet long distance rifle stage?

 

[dsdmmat]

Well I talked with one of my Club Officers today. I want to have some kind of shoot every month. To generate interest and income for the club.

We were talking about a 40 shot course of fire for both pistol and rifle on steel plates and bowling pins. I will be ordering some AR 500 steel plates at the beginning of the year. I am looking at ordering 2,4,6,8 inch plates for the rifle range and some 8 inch plates for the pistol range.

just have to figure out an event list for 2017. Lots to think about.

 

[Eddie Gunks]

Damn $25/year!?

Too rich for me.........


lol

[togmaster]

This sounds like it could be a fun 2 day trip. Maybe throw a BBQ in the middle and this could be a sweet NYGF weekend.

 

[GTN]

Hmmm.....
I'm heading to Watertown tomorrow for work

 

[MoMan]

Only 16 hours, 27 minutes away. But $25/yr for dues might make it worth the drive!!

 

[dsdmmat]

I get off work at 3:30 if you want to see the range I could pm you my cell phone number. It is about 45 minutes away from Fort Drum.

 

[Snappo]

400 yards is pretty nice. Hope you get lots of interest! I might come visit now and then, but I also own a range and it's on my property so I never have to get out of my pajamas. I am done with the build out to 500 already, and working on 600. Cutting trees is a slow process though. ;-(

Timing won't work this time. I have a business dinner at 5 I have to be in Watertown for. I'll be back the last week of Oct and I know I'm done by 2.
Now tomorrow Tues I'll probably be at the Tilted Kilted if you want to have a beer. I should be up there around 6

 

[Prudii]

Sounds like a great place, but it's a bit to for me to do on a regular basis. I'd drive up for a event though.

 

[Magnus]

Any Questions?

Can you possibly move the club further down? or arrange a helicopter pick up?

 

[Airborneguy]

My brother just PCS'd to Drum, so I'll hopefully be making my way up to your area soon for a visit.

Cool beans.

Missed the original post - go past 812 whenever I drive from The 'Hood to the W'town or Syracuse VA. Your range is about 2 hours from here.

A spring multi-range shoot would be awesome. By then I should have the Boyd's stock on my new toy and have it dialed in.

 

[Doc8404]

I'm in Westmoreland right off the thruway exit if anyone needs a pit stop.

 

[Prudii]

I finally got around to plugging you into google maps and your actually only about 2.5 hours away. How late into the season do you keep the rifle range open?
