Email them to me at mjanspacher@gmail.com and I'll reduce them and post them here.

Thanks for all of the work you've done (along w/ boltgun71 & U.S.Cavalryman) to get this range on board w/ Appleseed!

I talked to the Bar Manager at the Rod and Gun Club yesterday she said they will be serving food that weekend. Hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, that kind of stuff, lots of choices. For those that might camp it is right on the river so bring your fishing pole or archery stuff they have a beautiful archery trail. They have a Men's and Woman's bathrooms with showers. It has a full bar for the evenings. Canoe rentals, The village of Massena is only a couple of miles away. If you live nearby I suggest buying a year membership for the club because there will be a $10.00 charge for range fees for the weekend for non- members. This is a super nice club and rain or shine I don't think anyone will regret coming. I know Boltgun71 and U.S. Calv are awesome instructors and you will learn a lot. Even if you think you are already pretty good Boltgun puts out a lot of ballistics stuff that everyone will soak up. Hope to see everyone there and hopefully we can make this a regular Appleseed stop.

More photos:


Outdoor pistol range (in case someone wishes to do some evening pistol shooting).


Parking at 100-yd range.


100-yd range facing the berm.


Removable benches on 100-yd pad.


Additional 100-yd uncovered range.


Another view...


The Scoring Shack.  Note the rental canoes on the rear wall.


300-yd covered range.


300-yds facing the berm.

This club is nice!  The kind of place you could take the family for a vacation.  The kind of place every community should have...

Bring LOTS of insect repellent, the bugs in the Adirondacks are large and vicious.

Good to see another event in northern NY.

I might just have to try to make this one.
They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as Rangers against the Indians and Canadians and this country being much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting. . . . ".  Lord Percy

Sounds like New Englanders to me.

What is the capacity for this event? 

Also, I've forgotten: what time do the beverage stores close in Cornwall on Fridays?   :))

I think we are going with 26 people. as for corwall Its such a hassle to get over there now its not even worth going. You either need a enhanced drivers licence or a passport now.

Hmmmm....

The EI data I sent says 26 shooter capacity - but that didn't make it onto the EIP.

For the record we're limiting this one to 26 shooters.  That may increase for future events.

Neither is New Bremen or Ft Drum (or even Malone, if you get technical).

But, as far as bugs go, it's probably WORSE than the real Adirondacks. AMHIK.

Yup.  And quickly too.  I have half a ream of shoot fliers heading in that direction tomorrow - once they hit the streets of Massena it should sell out fast.
