Spring Shooting Event - SOLD OUT

Mid-Hudson Trap and Skeet, 411 North Ohioville Road, New Paltz, NY 12561
This will be a very safe event. Our instructor is Edwin Anderson of Beretta. Ed is a very accomplished shooter himself, a well known instructor, and the gunsmith at the Beretta Gallery in Manhattan,



This will be a full day of sporting clay target shooting. The day will begin at 9:00 AM, at Mid-Hudson Trap & Skeet. There will be an orientation and safety lesson first. Then we will shoot, break for lunch, and then have a “Friendly Competition” in the afternoon where the winner will receive a fine bottle of whisky!  

The firearms are 12 gauge shotguns, and belong to the men who will be attending, so these will be borrowed for the men who do not own their own.   Protective eyewear and ear protection are required. If you do not have these, please tell us so that they may be provided  

Dress in layers for the weather, as we will be outside most of the day. If you do not have a shooting vest, wear a jacket or shirt with waist high pockets so that holding shells and loading your firearm is made easier.   The fee of $125 covers all the shooting costs, including 200 targets, 20 different stations, ammunition, and lunch.

This is a very good price for a full day of shooting.   Please let us know if you have a car and can provide transportation, or if you will need a ride.
