Located on 33 acres in Bethel, NY, this member-supported club combines recreational shooting opportunities with active wildlife conservation and youth education programs.

The club maintains rifle and pistol ranges available to full members. Beyond traditional target shooting, Sullivan County Conservation Club is deeply committed to youth shooting sports development, including:

• •NYS DEC Hunter and Bowhunter Education courses - Certified training for hunters of all experience levels

Beyond recreational shooting, the club actively promotes wildlife habitat improvement through fish stocking, stream cleanups, pheasant reintroduction programs, and deer browse cutting. This dual focus on shooting sports and environmental stewardship makes Sullivan County Conservation Club unique among regional ranges.
