This local club meets on the second Tuesday of each month at the clubhouse.
According to the philosophy of the club, hunting is a form of conservation even though it sounds destructive. The real objective is to strive for sound conservation practice- to enjoy nature by taking something from it but not abusing it. The organization hopes to instill an appreciation of nature and shooting, and is involved in team and competitive shooting.
To become a member, a person must have a “clean record” and be sponsored by a member in good standing.
The Lloyd Rod and Gun Club is a non-profit organization and is supported by annual membership dues of $10 per member.
General activities include trap shoots and a dinner to raise funds for club and community activities.
The club was started in 1937 by a local conservation officer named Al Roberts and four or five friends.
The group has received a special award from the Boy Scouts. It owns about twenty acres and leases another seven hundred acres. At the end of the season the group holds an annual game dinner, where the members eat what has been shot that season. This included moose, antelope, bear, deer, duck, pheasant, and partridge. The club is a bona fide member of the National Rifle Association (N.R.A.) and the Ulster County Sportsmen Federation, Inc.
