Shortsville Rod and Gun Club

Shortsville Rod and Gun Club was established in 1940 and has been a fixture in the Finger Lakes ever since. The club sits on 80 acres purchased in 1969 and paid off by 1972 through member contributions and loans—a debt-free operation built on commitment.

Shortsville participates in two traveling trap leagues: - Little Brown Jug Trap League - Inland Waters Trap League

Both run 10 shoots per season hosted across area clubs, with hundreds of shooters and annual banquets featuring trophies and prizes. The club also runs an in-house Winter League open to members, guests, and juniors.

The clubhouse is available for rental—weddings, graduations, parties, and events. The facility has been expanded multiple times by members, including a 30x40 addition in 1995. The club also hosts SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) Long Riders events.

Club meetings held the 1st Wednesday of each month at 7pm. New and renewal membership applications voted on at these meetings.
