The Wawarsing Rod & Gun Club provides shooting facilities to members at distances up to 300 yards.
There are several ranges on the grounds including a rim fire/archery range, skeet and trap ranges and the 300 yard range for center fire rifle and pistol.
Shooting hours are from 9:00 am to sunset.
Members are expected to be familiar with the club's range rules before using the facilities.
Heads Up: Subject: NYS Senate Bill S8461 Sporting Range Good Neighbor Act
The above referenced proposed bill in the NY Senate that would affect skeet, trap and sporting clay ranges in NY.
Give a look (link below). If passed it would require certain property dimensions.
If a range can not meet the required dimensions then a protected berm would have to be built to catch the "bullets".
This act would also require that lead shot be reclaimed. If passed, this is to be enforced by the NYSDEC.
This bill currently sits in Committee and was sponsored by Pete Harckham (D) of the 40th Senate District in Putnam Co. This is worth keeping an eye on.
