Gun clubs in Cortland area?

[Daveboone]

We moved to Cortland last May. I have been trying to find a shooting club in the area without much success. I have found a few, but most seem to be very skeet and trap centered, and both of those also have a lot of shooting time restrictions due to an agreement with the Cortland Police Department for training. I can appreciate it, but at the same time, the times they have reserved are the times I would be wanting to shoot...mainly weekdays. 

i bench rest /sight in centerfires, but do a lot of black powder/muzzleloading (traditional cap and ball/flintlock) too...more than anything else, with some handgunning (target) work also.

Can anyone make any recommendations? Oxford is a nice club I have shot black powder at, but they are an hour away...

Brother lives in Cortland I'll give him a shout.

Not too far away from you, but a little bit of a hike - Pompey Rod & Gun Club is where I go for muzzleloader, centerfire, and pistol shooting.

Looking on line, actually they look to be one of the more varied clubs, with a decent rifle range. Many in this area are almost exclusively geared to shotgun sports with the rifle ranges (if there is one) minimal. I actually spend most of my time with traditional ML, and spend a lot of time with the bench with them. I am going to check them out my next w/e off.

It sure is convenient for me - only a couple miles away. My kids have certainly enjoyed it, as well.

It looks very active and family oriented...I particularly took notice of the monthly winter steak bakes and sportsmans flea markets!

Those steak bakes are a hit, especially in the winter when there’s not much else to do outside.
