Your original post had shoot from 12-5, potentially. Is that still likely? If so I think I would be looking for a nearby hotel recommendation. Looks like around a 3 hr drive for me and I would hope to do a shared commute to help keep costs down
 
Thanks for all the replies and encouragement.

I am shooting for April 24th, Sunday.. Noon to 5:00 PM.

Interested shooters are asked to PM me with contact information so I can send out emails with details and directions;

UPDATE: Last Call for Shooters!

The NY_VT Border shoot will be held on Sunday, April 24, 2022 at the Whitehall (NY) Fish and Game Club Range, located at 292 Winters Road, Whitehall, NY (directions below.) We will begin at Noon and be done by 5:00 PM.

Targets will be three NMLRA novelty targets (animals) at 25 yards; NMLRA 100 Yard Bulleseye Target at 50 Yards; and an 8” steel gong at 90 yards. Paper targets for score, steel target is a “single elimination” event; shoot until you miss. All shots are offhand. Round balls only, open sights, flint, percussion, or matchlock. Figure on twenty to thirty shots total.

There are no awards or prizes, this is a get-together fun shoot to meet other shooters and share stories. Fame and glory only. Feel free to bring trading goods.

The range has limited covered areas for loading. We recommend “tailgate loading” and bring a pop-up canopy for shade or drizzle protection. Spring weather is totally unpredictable. There is an outhouse on the grounds, and we will provide a hand washing station and drinking water.

All shooters who are not members of the Whitehall Fish and Game Club Range will be required to execute a Waiver of Liability agreement upon registration. We request a $5 donation to the range (contributions for targets, etc. not expected, but appreciated!)

In order to best prepare for the event, we would appreciate knowing if you are attending. Please respond to [email protected] with either I PLAN TO BE THERE or I HOPE TO BE THERE or I WILL NOT BE THERE and the how many of you are coming. We would appreciate hearing back from you by April 20th. You can reach me (ADK Bigfoot) by phone at 518-796-5226; voice or text.

Last minute update!!

Due to heavy rain and snow early in the week, prepare for wet ground at the range. Mud boots are a good idea!

Looking forward to a great day of burning some powder and getting to know all of you. See you in Whitehall.
