There has been a lot of interest in this shoot, both from prior shooters and newbies. All are welcome. Just reply if interested, so we can be ready for you when you come. I want to make sure the range can handle the demand.

It’s the day after our NYS 4-H Shooting Sports banquet. If I can convince my wife to let me have both days, I’ll be there.
WATCH THIS SPACE!!

Keep me on your list please, and just ask if you need assistance.
Planning on being there.
I am tentative depending on the weather. If it is warm enough to open up my cabin in Vermont (Rochester) for the season I will be there. I need the snow gone and overnight temperatures not much below freezing as my water supply is above ground and subjected to freezing pipes. Will let you know as we get closer to the date. Thanks.
Same here!
… once headed ‘out West’ from Boston, heading out to the Saratoga, NY winter snowshoe MZL biathlon, of all things … only to turn around 1/2-way there due to a raging blizzard the further west I went … I didn’t wanna have to use my snowshoes on the freaking highway
!
I'm still planning on it.
Last call for shooters! I will be sending out details to all interested shooters by the end of the week. thanks to all who have let me know they are planning to attend. Please make sure you have sent my your email or text info so I can put you on my distribution (PM is best)
Let's hope for good weather!

Today I sent out emails to all who had indicated interest in the shoot. Not too late to let me know if you are interested.
The NY-VT Border shoot will be held on Sunday, April 30, 2023 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 Bullseye Target at 50 Yards; an unspecified non-scoring "Fun Gong" at 75 yards, and THE BIGFOOT TARGET with 8” steel gong at 90 yards. Paper targets for score, 75-yard gong for fun, and the steel BIGFOOT target is a “single elimination” event; shoot until you miss. All shots are offhand. Round balls only, open sights, flint, percussion, wheellock or matchlock. Figure on twenty to thirty shots total. Shooters do not need to be from Vermont or New York; last year we had four states represented!
There are no awards or prizes, this is a get-together fun shoot to meet other shooters and share stories. Fame and eternal glory only. Feel free to bring trading goods, legal items only. Registration fee is $5 (see below).
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 and we request a $5 donation to the range for when we tear up their backers!
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 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.
Directions to the Whitehall Fish and Game Club Range: We are located between Rutland, Vermont and Whitehall, NY. From Route 4, take County Route 21 South. Look for Winters Road on your right. The range is a mile down the road on the left. 292 Winters Road. Enter the gate and someone will assist with parking.
We look forward to meeting all of you and making some smoke!

Great shoot Bigfoot! Thanks for all the work that goes into it. Nice folks, great range, fun times.
Glad I got to stop by!
I hate that I didn’t shoot, but had a fantastic little VT outing with my wife and girls.

I'm sorry that I missed this. For me, just too far to drive to shoot in what looked like rain. I likely screwed up.
For all of you who came, Thank You. For those of you who could not make it, we missed you.
We had another great day of shooting. We worked around some showers, and a little wind, but we got it done. The match ended up in a shootout on the Bigfoot target at 90 Yards, going to a 7-7 tie broken by Matt Thomas with a seventh hit for the win. Tony Lewtas won the 25-yard squirrel target, Matt Thomas won the 25-yard woodchuck target, Bruce Rodd won the 25-yard running deer and 50-yard bullseye target. All appeared to have a good time, and we look forward to the next event. Stay tuned.
Thank you all again for your support.
