ABOUT OUR MEETING ROOM AND PAVILLION
To Rent the Meeting Room or Pavilion, the rules are as follows: Club members or those that have sponsorship by a club member need to go through the clubhouse bar.

THE CLUBHOUSE BAR
The club bar is considered the heart of Black Rock, open six days per week and staffed with hired bartenders. It’s a place where members can come down watch a sporting event on TV and socialize with each other while enjoying the hospitality of our full service bar.
We offer a full range of beverages from beer, wine and liquor to coffee and soda. Additionally, you can purchase snacks and on certain days one of bartenders prepares savory meals and hot foods. All of our drinks are sold at members only pricing and you would be hard pressed to find another bar that can match our prices. We also offer a pool table free of charge during weekdays and there is usually a nice fire going in our fireplace during cold winter nights.
On summer days one can relax out on the bar’s patio overlooking the Woodbury Creek and Black Rock athletic field. The bar welcomes the entire family including children as long as they remain in attendance by an adult. There are separate men and ladies restrooms and the bar is fully climate controlled. The bar is also the place where our members can go for club information, purchase club event tickets, raffles, renew dues, order club merchandise and sign out keys to club properties.
Adjacent to the bar is the club’s meeting room and kitchen. The meeting room, when not in use for official club business, can be rented by members who would like to hold private parties or events. Rental of the meeting room includes usage of the kitchen. Rentals are managed by the bar and fees are very reasonable. All together the Black Rock Bar is another great membership benefit not found in many other fish and game clubs with dues as reasonable as ours.

All finances go back into maintenance of the ranges. Our group enjoys trap shooting and being outdoors. Because of our location, we are not open from October thrrough March.

ABOUT OUR RIFLE RANGE
Black Rock’s newly renovated 200-yard rifle range is a pleasure to use. Recently our range was excavated to provide a nearly flat plane all the way out to 200 yards. Massive earth embankments now flank both sides of the range and a tall backstop provides the highest degree of safety.
Target holder stanchions are permanently in place at five different target yardages each line with 12 individual stanchions matched to each shooting position. The newly constructed circular driveway leading right up to the shooting line provides convenient access to loading and unloading your gear. In addition several parking spaces have been provided adjacent to the shooting pavilion, one for handicapped access and the others available to members on a first come basis. There is still ample additional parking at the foot of the driveway.
The shooting line is covered by an open pavilion structure to shield the shooter from rain and direct sunlight. There is a concrete pad with 12 individual shooting benches under cover of the pavilion. In the spring of 2011 we will be seeding the range and adding some finishing touches such as railings and new bench tops. The location of our range is high up on our preserve hill and surrounded by acres of wooded forest to control noise and provide a safety buffer.
If you are tired of crowded ranges this is the place to be. Our range almost always has open spots available. Target frames are provided by the club or you can bring your own as long as the frames are built to club specs. The ranges are open all year except during big game season and during those times in the winter months where access to the range may be limited by snow and ice accumulation.
BULLET POINTS
• Open 7 days per week 9AM until Dusk.
• Target Frames and holders provided by the club.
• 200 Yards maximum shooting distance.
• 12 shooter positions at the line.
• Very safe range design and layout.
• Convenient access ramps and plenty of room for shooters.

ABOUT SHOOTING SPORTS
Shooting Sports was organized 15 years ago as a sub-club of Black Rock Fish and Game Club. It sought to increase the involvement of members of Black Rock Fish and Game Club in three particular disciplines so it could promote and get members to compete and teach. The disciplines encompass Shooting Sports, Bayonets and Muzzleloaders. By offering a wider variety of learning tools, the club seeks to increase membership and youth participation.
The Shooting Sports committee consists of:
Chairman Ted Sweet, Treasurer Mark Copeletti, and Recording Secretary Kelly Rossi. Chairman of Muzzleloaders is Ted Christian. Twenty-two Rifle/Pistol League is chaired by Anthony Sorrentino. Bayonets is chaired by Tom Moriarty, Rob Corrado, and Ted Sweet. The Air Gun League is chaired by Ray Weeks.
1. Muzzleloaders schedule runs from April to September and consists of four shoots.
2. Twenty-two Rifle League runs from May to June.
3. Twenty-two Pistol League from June to July.
4. Shooting Sports Military shoots run from April to October.
5. The Air Gun League runs from January to March. (Takes place at clubhouse meeting room.)
*Check range closings for scheduled events.
Shooting Sports has taken on the responsibility of range maintenance and future improvements to the ranges. We run a yearly work party usually the third week in June. If you would like to become a member of Shooting Sports the cost is $10 a year, which will give you access to the Shooting Sports Shed and supplies. Meetings are the third Wednesday of every month at 8pm. There are nominal costs for all Shooting Sports activities. Of course, if you have any idea’s or suggestions that you would like to see implemented for the betterment of the sport, come on down to a meeting at the club.
