Salomon Shooter's Supplies

The Salomon family bought this Farmingdale property in 1938 as a working farm. Eugene Salomon, Sr. turned that love of hunting and the outdoors into something bigger—starting a gun club in 1954 on vacant land nearby. When a fire destroyed the original garage operation, he built what's now E.H. Salomon Shooter's Supplies. By 1968, the trap club moved to the family property, and both operations have run side-by-side ever since.

Now run by Eugene H. Salomon, Jr., the business keeps those old-school values alive. The decades-long relationships with suppliers are still there. You'll notice the Salomon name carries weight in the shooting industry.
