Skeet shooting in Buffalo and New York

Hi guys,

I was visiting Buffalo and New York area and seek your advise on skeet ranges in this region.

Any inputs are welcome.

Thanks,

Do you want to shoot NASSA or ISU?
(Nassa is far more popular in USA)

So, shoot here, the ranges are certainly accessible here, and there are some programs for a beginner shooter you can try to take advantage of.

Programs for beginner skeetshooters are held at Hyderabad (AP State Rifle Assn), Patiala and presently the NRAI is running a program, but that is limited to shooters under 18 years of age where free ammo, clays and coaching will be provided for a period of time and then probables will continue to get this facility or upto two years.

Delhi State had started some program a few years back when Mr Kochhar donated one lakh for ammo and clay pigeon expenses for beginners, dont know what is the status now.

Chattisgarh Rifle Association has a program for beginners in skeet.

These are a few I am aware of.

Best bet is to go personally to the NRAI and find out more and pursue from there, also talk to other shooters.

If all fails contact me. :)

How much area approx ia required fot skeet shooting?
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger

1/2 acre is enough for the skeet layout, but one would need at least 200 yards to catch all the pellets beyond the different shooting stations. Also, sometimes a shooter can mistakenly put a slug or buckshot loaded round and adequate precaution would be required
