Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to all. Now that Santa has been on the Macys Day Parade, welcome to the Christmas season. Let's all have a Safe, Fun Heartfilled Christmas season.

I will also give a quick club update. The main Club house itself is finished and looks AMAZING.
Work on the indoor range is starting to move forward. Hopefully we will be up and shooting before Christmas. Fingers crossed please.

Hey everyone, first I want to thank all of those who have donated to the club to help with the flood damage. And that thank you goes out not only to the wonderful monetary donatators but also to the people who have donated and offered to donate time. Here is a plea, please keep it coming, the club looks awesome but we have a LOT OF WORK LEFT TO DO.
The main room is just about finished, new floor comes Monday. The kitchen is being started and the indoor range is still a big work in progress.

Sorry about so many emails but THIS ONE IS A HUGE CALL OUT FOR HELP from your Vice President of Camden Rod and Gun Club

“Due to the inability to find other contractors other than the one single contractor we found (who nobody knows), and conversations with several other members an arbitrary decision has been made by the rebuild committee to act as our own general contractor. To wit, we will remove any material needed. Do any electrical needed. Arrange to be foamed. Hang wallboard. Contract for finishing of same.
At the time of the Mon. meeting, I was not totally aware of the number of members who wanted to assist. Hopefully they will show up.
a rip and tear party on Sat. 7-27 at 9AM.”
Walt M., VP

From Me News Letter Dude;
OK MEMBERS, TIME TO GIVE A BIT OF YOURSELF.
This is a hell of a nice club, I have been to many many clubs around NY, PA and NC.
Yes, I know you really just want to pay your dues and shoot. However, We NEED YOUR HELP. So I am begging you all to please come out and help, offer a hand and any skills you have. Bring tools, gloves, Smile, GREAT ATTITUDE, etc... I am sure there will beverages and probably donuts and or maybe other. This “Rip and Tear day is only the beginning of the work to be done. Than its Build time.
I do not know of a Work Schedule or plan but I am sure the above mentioned Rebuild Committee will put one together and I will be sending it out in an email, posting it on Facebook and Hopefully if I can figure this Gosh Darn website out, on the website.

If you want to and are able to make a donation of anysize for assistance, please Mail to:

Camden Rod and Gun Club
“NEWS LETTER”
OK, where to begin.
On night of Thursday July 11th the Camden and surrounding areas got (from what I hear) almost 5 inches of rain in less than 3 hours. This deluge caused an amazing amount of water to shed off the ground around the club and all creeks to over flow. This turned our club property into a river and put our clubhouse in the middle. We have had Servicemaster in to do the job of drying things up. However, we need to have the wall all stripped down to the studs and sheet rocked. Essentially entire internal rehab. After walking around and cleaning stuff crap out I can tell you it is like getting punched multiple time in the gut. I cannot imagine what it would be like to have this happen to your house.
For the above reason the clubhouse, indoor and the Trap ranges are closed until further notice. The rifle, outdoor pistol and S***t Ranges are still open. Please keep in mind that the restrooms are closed. The door combination has been temporarily changed for this reason.
The Board has been meeting and has decided to get contractors to do the work both for liability and time frame reasons. The contractors will be rehabbing the clubhouse (Main room, Hallway and bathrooms). The indoor range has a bunch of work to be done also (cleaning the walls off, washing the walls and floor, sealing and painting the floor, replacing the wood beam in front of the sand (that people can’t seem to understand is not a target or the backstop), replacing carpet on top of benches and most likely rebuilding the bench bases. It looks like we (club members) will be taking care of this part of the project.
With all of this said, as you can imagine there is a lot of work to be done. And the COST will be HIGH. So we are asking our members to please make a one-time donation of whatever you can give. We have already had a couple members drop checks off. Anything will be appreciated. Also if you have skills or just the burning desire to help, please email me at [email protected].
Our Shooting family at Oneida Rifle Club are holding a Steal Plate shoot as a fundraiser for us on August 3rd at their club. Please see a copy of the email that Oneida has sent to their members with details of the shoot. If you are interested in shoot the steel, contact Dan via the information in his email.

Thank you all in advance

Steal Shoot Info from Oneida Rifle Club
Our good friends up at Camden Rod and Gun Club had a foot of water covering their range AND inside their club house last Thursday night!

The Oneida Rifle Club will be holding a fun steel shoot on Saturday August 3, 2019, to raise some money to help them.

There will be the usual suspects: a Texas star, plate rack(s), dueling tree, gongs, poppers.....

Any non magnum pistol round out of a pistol or rifle is good to use, 22 rimfire can be used but won't knock everything over.
(a few arrays including the texas star can be shot with birdshot from a shotgun)

We will have 6 or so arrays of targets. You can shoot any of them as much as you want in your time slot for fun.
If you want we will have about a 25 round group of targets which we will score if you want to see how you did amongst your peers.

Pre-registration required.
Email me with your preferred time slot:
9am or 11:45am

Requested donation for everyone is $20. You should be able to burn north of 150 rounds.

There will be a few 9mm carbines available if you want to bring some 9mm ammo.
There will be some 12 gauge semis there if you want to try them on a couple of the arrays (not all),
so bring your shotgun, or some 12 gauge low brass trap type bird shot ammo.
(cylinder, s***t, improved cylinder choke preferred, modified as a last choice is ok)

Thank you for helping our Camden friends,
Dan
