Grand Opening
Saturday September
26, 2015
The
Blodgett Mills Sportsmen’s Club held their Grand Opening Saturday
September 26, 2015 to accept new members and to showcase the two new
trap fields, 3 pistol ranges and the 330 yard rifle range.
The weather was perfect for the crowd of 300+ to enjoy the day
outside. The kids enjoyed the supervised bounce houses and carnival
games on the east lawn while their parents relaxed or went to watch the
pistol and rifle demonstrations hosted by the staff of Boltworks
Tactical Firearms of Dryden.
Inside the club house, there were vendors, raffles and good
conversations. On Sunday,
they hosted an open trap shoot from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for novice
and experienced shooters.
The
club has held two NYS DEC hunter safety courses and a trapper course in
the past two months, with more education courses planned.
They also held an NRA Certified Range Safety Officer training for
12 of the members, to ensure safe and proper firearm handling on the
ranges. NRA Pistol courses
are planned for the near future.
