September Update!

Summer may be on the way out but...events at the Kent Rod & Gun Club keep rolling-in!

Everyone is looking forward to our Ladies Day at the Range on Sunday, September 17th...we are expecting an outstanding turnout for this "Girls Only" day of fun with an emphasis on education and safety throughout the day!

Our team of Certified Instructors will be ready to assist any of our guests who are preparing to process their New York State Pistol License Application and...for any lady needing assistance with a license amendment or wanting to upgrade their existing license...we will be ready to help!

The day will begin with a Welcome Breakfast, Safety Lectures, a visit from Judge James Reitz, who will address our guests, and then...a Gourmet Luncheon!  Right after, the girls will head outside for some range time and enjoy target shooting, archery and trap shooting...all under the watchful eyes of our Instructors.  And after that...dessert!  We treat our guests very well!


The best part?  Everything is completely...complimentary!

**Once again, we offer apologies to several ladies who were misled by an unauthorized, and erroneous, mention of this event on Lohud, the website of The Journal News.  Our event Chairwoman has reached out to each lady who attempted to register after the deadline and extended every courtesy so that they will be included in our September gathering.

 It is not now, and never will be, the practice of our club to have any of our club events promoted by the Gannett Newspaper chain who, in recent times, sought to publicly map the personal data of legally registered gun owners in New York State in their publications.**

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Registration for our Annual Big Buck Contest is underway!  Members wishing to compete must sign-up, in person, at our monthly membership meetings.

Please note:
  • This contest is for Members Only!
  • Deer MUST be taken in New York State
  • Deer MUST be tagged correctly and only with YOUR tag, not someone else's.

  • Minimum score of 90" will determine the winners in each category for a cash prize...one for Gun, one for Bow.

                                  All registration will close at our October 6th meeting!  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Club Event Update - March

Members of the Kent Rod & Gun Club proudly participated in the Unite for Our Rights Rally in Albany on February 28th.  As much as various media sources attempted to downplay the event, some reporting that only several hundred were in attendance, the truth was that over 12,000 law-abiding, legal gun owners made their voices heard!  Clicking on the highlighted link above,  to view some great photos, honestly demonstrates the support working to repeal the New York Safe Act.









On a local level, here in Putnam County, several club members also attended the National Day of Resistance rally at the County Courthouse on February 23rd...one more event not given any coverage from publications such as The Journal News, a liberal, biased, media source who looks only to denigrate legal gun ownership along with recent actions which compromised the personal safety of law abiding pistol license holders.





Keep in mind that these massive efforts don't stop here!  Going forward, we must remain vigilant and ready to keep the pressure applied on our elected officials.  Get the message out and remind each of them how much our votes on their behalf won't be in their favor... when time comes for re-election.
